--- Comment #4 from Marius Tomaschewski 2011-09-01 11:25:23 UTC ---
BTW: ifconfig is obsolete since years -- use "ip addr show".
First of all, see bug 677251. It is fixed, but.
When you don't have any (root) filesystems mounted over the network,
either edit /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 and change STARTMODE=
nfsroot to STARTMODE=auto or set is via "yast2 lan", but update it
first :-) Further, when there is a "/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-"
file, remove it.
The "nfsroot" setting causes, that "ifdown eth0" basically has no
effect (IPs are never removed).
You seem not to have DHCPv6 on your network (autoconf only): at
the moment it is better to set BOOTPROTO="dhcp4" instead of just
"dhcp". The later starts also a dhcpv6 client what slows down the
setup.
Further, IPV6_PRIVACY is DEPRECATED and usually does not work (see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=704981#c2 and references).
You have to configure the settings in /etc/sysctl.conf or even
better in the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifsysctl file.
Last but not least, to use your statically assigned IP in outgoing
connections (see it on the web-site):
- disable autoconf (net.ipv6.conf.eth0.autoconf=1) so your static
IPv6 address is used
- and/or configure as described in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt:
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr - INTEGER
Preference for Privacy Extensions (RFC3041).
<= 0 : disable Privacy Extensions
== 1 : enable Privacy Extensions, but prefer public
addresses over temporary addresses.
> 1 : enable Privacy Extensions and prefer temporary
addresses over public addresses.
Default: 0 (for most devices)
-1 (for point-to-point devices and loopback devices)
[this is the IPV6_PRIVACY setting].
<---
Alternative approach is to use DHCPv6 server (dhcp-server package)
and assign a fixed IP address to the client, but you also have to
reconfigure your router (it will not work without!).
When the router is a linux system using radvd, see "man radvd.conf";
the settings you would have to change are:
AdvManagedFlag on; # <-- use DHCPv6
AdvOtherConfigFlag on; # <-- also other settings like DNS
prefix 2001:980:4480:1::/64 {
AdvAutonomous off; # <-- don't allow clients to configure
# IP address via stateless autoconf
};
--->
I'm resolving it as INVALID, because using static address for outgoing
connections is a configuration issue (on the router or on the host)
and differs from (kernel / our) defaults and we don't provide "1 click"
way to configure it.
