No.  If needed, this is the role of the so-called "network hooks" - see
the manual page mandos-client(8mandos), and look in the directory
/usr/share/doc/mandos-client/examples/network-hooks.d for some examples
of network hooks.  However, normally, *no* network address is needed,
since we use the automatically assigned link-local IPv6 address, and
*no* route is needed, since we only look for Mandos servers on the local
network.  No network hooks are installed by default - they are a feature
for those who have non-standard needs.

The Mandos client itself does not configure any addresses, routes or
interface options.  The example network hooks should not, I think,
depend on anything Debian-specific, but if they do, they are only
*examples*, and meant to be customized for individual needs.
