-accept_unsolicited_na - BOOLEAN
- Add a new neighbour cache entry in STALE state for routers on receiving an
- unsolicited neighbour advertisement with target link-layer address option
- specified. This is as per router-side behavior documented in RFC9131.
- This has lower precedence than drop_unsolicited_na.
+accept_untracked_na - BOOLEAN
+ Add a new neighbour cache entry in STALE state for routers on receiving a
+ neighbour advertisement (either solicited or unsolicited) with target
+ link-layer address option specified if no neighbour entry is already
+ present for the advertised IPv6 address. Without this knob, NAs received
+ for untracked addresses (absent in neighbour cache) are silently ignored.
