Give `river` a dedicated RDMA VF and two RSTP trunk attachments.
Keep client services on the router VIPs and carry Digiweb VLANs
over both switch paths.
Set VF trust, multicast reception, bridge MAC and ARP behavior for
local switching. Wait for Kea interface readiness and apply RSTP
costs through `mstpd` despite port-registration and rename races.
Load `palace`'s RAID module in the initrd. Record RouterOS and
RouterBOOT upgrades and validate port, carrier and switch outages.
Document the deployed architecture, interface handoffs and recovery
procedures. Add physical socket maps, NIC capacities and cable
connections alongside the logical topology and failover checks.
jim, dave and the vibe AP are pure L2, but RouterOS ships ip-forward and
IPv6 forward on, and with IPv6 forwarding enabled it also advertises
itself as a default router. After the 7.18 -> 7.23 upgrade clients began
picking up the switches as IPv6 default routers alongside river.
Replace the earlier advertise-dns framing (which only strips RA options,
not the router lifetime) with the actual requirement: ip-forward=no,
IPv6 forward=no, accept-router-advertisements=no, ra-lifetime=0, and a
re-check after every RouterOS upgrade.
