 Posted: Wed Feb 11, 2004 6:56 pm Post subject: Native IPv6, how to obtain address? |
 |
|
Hi there!
Just found out that my network provides native IPv6. I've read the IPv6-guide at gentoo.org, but I didn't quite make it work!
I've emerged net-misc/dhcpv6 and I've put
| Code: |
interface eth0 {
send rapid-commit;
request prefix-delegation;
request domain-name-servers;
request temp-address;
iaid 11111;
renew-time 11000;
rebind-time 21000;
}; |
in /etc/dhcp6c.conf
As far as I can tell from the guide, I should now be able to bring down eth0 and bring it up again.. No IPv6-address.
Please help

stig,
Does your DHCP server do ipv6?

Well...all I know is that when booting windows, after having done
"ipv6 install" I get both IPv6-address and GW.
I kind of hoped it would be that easy in linux as well...

IPv6 includes the ability to do automatic stateless configuration using "Router Advertisment"
If your windows box is automatically getting an IP and a route, it may be using this method for automatic configuration. Linux should be doing this as well, you might check to make sure that /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_ra is "1" or it won't accept routing advertisment, AFAIK. If you look in dmesg and see "eth1: no IPv6 routers present" for your devices, then it's not seeing anything advertised, and you might muck more with dhcpv6.
Good luck with it. I envy you for having an ISP that already gives out ipv6 addys... (: I'd try to talk to them and find out which method they're using for giving out IPV6 addresses.
