Whatever the IoT device is, is has to be just an appliance, like the fridge and the dishwasher. Buy one, have it delivered and installed, then turn on. Much more than that, e.g. just a simple thing such as configuration of a fixed IPv6 address, and it'll quickly grind to a halt. The nice thing about IPv6 is it's design to automagically assign addresses.
You mean like DHCP does for IPv5?
Ummm... I haven't seen much IPv5 lately. ;-) IPv6 can create link local addresses entirely on it's own or build a SLAAC address after receiving a router advertisement. DHCP requires a server to manage the addresses, SLAAC does not. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
