Unsolicited router advertisements are sent as specified in RFC 4861 6.2.4
(first several advertisements  separated by short interval, then
based on configurable 'max ra interval'. They are also resent after
address changes.

There is not a command to explicitly request sending unsolicited router
advertisements, but restarting radv protocol does that (and as there is
almost no state in radv protocol, there is no problem with that)
