##### Work item tracking
- Microsoft ADO **(number only)**: 26577929
#### How I did it
Upgrade the krb5 version to 1.18.3-6+deb11u14+fips.
### Why I did it
- Modified "sonic-port.yang" for adding support in Port Yang model for the "mode" attribute for adding port modes

ix IPV6 forced-mgmt-route not work issue
Why I did it
IPV6 forced-mgmt-route not work
When add a IPV6 route, should use 'ip -6 rule add pref 32764 address' command, but currently in the template the '-6' parameter are missing, so the IPV6 route been add to IPV4 route table.
Also this PR depends on #17281 , which will fix the IPV6 'default' route table missing in IPV6 route lookup issue.

#### How I did it
#### How to verify it
#### Description for the changelog
Currently, whenever isc-dhcp-relay forwards a packet upstream,
internally, it will try to send it on a "fallback" interface. My
understanding is that this isn't meant to be a real interface, but
instead is basically saying to use Linux's regular routing stack to
route the packet appropriately (rather than having isc-dhcp-relay
specify specifically which interface to use).
The problem is that on systems with a weak CPU, a large number of
interfaces, and many upstream servers specified, this can introduce a
noticeable delay in packets getting sent. The delay comes from trying to
get the ifindex of the fallback interface. In one test case, it got to
the point that only 2 packets could be processed per second. Because of
this, dhcrelay will easily get backlogged and likely get to a point
where packets get dropped in the kernel.
Fix this by adding a check saying if we're using the fallback interface,
then don't try to get the ifindex of this interface. We're never going
to have an interface named this in SONiC.
