If i understand correctly what you need is to control the prefixes
advertised in the RA and disable the 'autoconfig' flag on the prefixes
advertised by that router so that the hosts in the subnet do not use
that prefix to autoconfigure addresses on that subnet.
>From the cisco documentation:
[...]
Interface subcommands:
[...]
ipv6 nd prefix-advertisement <routing-prefix>/<length> <valid-lifetime>
<preferred-lifetime> [onlink | autoconfig]
Explicitly configure which IPv6 routing prefixes are advertised
in an Router Advertisement. If this command is not used,
then the router will advertise all prefixes configured on
the interface originating the Router Advertisements.
If i understand your problem description correctly this would be the
way to deal with your situation according to the specs rather than
disabling RAs on the interface.
btw: I fear that configuration details of a particular implementation
might be slightly outside the scope of this mailing list. Please
consider using 'ipv6-deployment@external.cisco.com' for this type of
questions.
