Has anyone experience with ipv6 on Leap 42.1 ? I'm trying to setup an ipv6 router. I installed Leap without a gui. My external address is automatically configured. That's OK. Trying with yast, I found after searching and trying you only can assign a static ipv6 address by specifying it in the IP-address box. You then can add an ipv4 address.
I did. After years of using openSUSE for my router, I gave up on it and switched to pfsense, which works well. The problem is that openSUSE does not support dhcpv6-pd, which is required for getting the local network prefix from the ISP. Wicked does not support dhcpv6-pd, so I tried the latest dhcpcd, which does. Unfortunately, after a couple of frustrating weeks, I had to give up on it.
My recommendation is to go with pfsense, at least until the openSUSE developers quit putting eye candy ahead of function.
James, be a little reasonable - the guys writing e.g. wicked and the network support have little need for eye candy. Most of the people out there on IPv6 probably have a router supplied by the provider which happily takes of it. Needing/wanting to build your own IPv6 router with this support is a bit of a cornercase, I would say. Might also be difficult to find a suitable test environment. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.0°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
