[Bug 739215] New: No IPv6 link local on one NIC openSUSE 11.3 firewall
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=739215 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=739215#c0 Summary: No IPv6 link local on one NIC openSUSE 11.3 firewall Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: james.knott@rogers.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:9.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0 My firewall is built with openSUSE 11.3 and SUSE firewall running on an old computer. It generally works well, but I am not getting an IPv6 link local address on the NIC connected to my cable modem. If I boot that computer with a 11.3 live CD, that NIC gets an IPv6 link local address. I can also manually add an address in the link local range (starts wit FE80) and ping it. The NIC attached to my local network gets a link local address as expected, as well as an address on my IPv6 subnet. All NICs in an IPv6 enabled system should have a link local address, without exception. BTW, to get my IPv6 subnet, I currently use a 6in4 tunnel to a tunnel broker. However, my ISP is supposed to be making IPv6 available via cable modem shortly, which means I'll be needing IPv6 on that NIC. I get my tunnel from http://gogonet.gogo6.com. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Installed 11.3 on computer with more than one NIC 2.Install tunnel broker software - I doubt this has any effect on the problem, as it makes no difference whether or not I load the software. 3. Actual Results: There is no link local address on that NIC when booting the installed system. There is if I boot from a live CD. Expected Results: IPv6 link local address on both NICs. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

From my experience, this is only an issue when setting BOOTPROTO='dhcp'. In

BTW: Please note, that 11.3 is End-Of-Life -> use 11.4 + updates.
I upgraded to 11.4 a few weeks ago. I updated over existing 11.3, rather than fresh install. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

And... which tunnel broker software are you using? [Freenet6 client I guess; don't know where to download it without account] Does it work when you disable it and reboot?
I obtained it from the gogonet site. If you want, I can provide the Linux package. You should be able to use it in anonymous mode without an account. In anonymous mode, you only get a single non-static address. If you create an account, you get a static address and you can also configure for a subnet. However, this problem only exists on the interface that's configured for DHCP. If manual config, I get the link local address. I use after.local to start the tunnel. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I guess ./gogoc-tsp/template/linux.sh disables it or flushes. I was unable to try out the gogoc. There are some calls like "grep inet6 | del".
I were unable to reproduce it in all my tests - DHCPv6 works fine on all my machines / my network and for many other users too.
Make sure you have installed all updates -- there were a flush&down order bug in sysconfig in the past.
Do you have DHCP or static config for IPv4? The problem only occurs with DHCP. Given that I don't even get a link local IPv6 address, there's no way DHCP6 is going to work. All other interfaces have IPv6 addresses. None of them use DHCP for IPv4. I keep my system up to date and the problem still remains. BTW, on IPv6, you generally don't use DHCP to get an address, though that is an option. You'd normally use router advertisements to get the address and DHCP6 to pick up other addresses such as DNS, NTP server etc. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Is your system configured as a router? My problem exists only on my firewall/router. It does not occur on my notebook computer, which also used DHCP for IPv4. As I mentioned above, configuring a static IPv4 address for that interface allows IPv6 to work. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
