I'm certainly not a IPv6 expert, but doesn't a host negotiate with the nearest router for non-link local addresses? There is dhcp, but IIRC it's only IPv4. Microsoft products and Apple don't work well with dhcpd-ipv6, IIRC.
The host negotiates with the router(s) for the subnet portion of the address. The rest is derived from the MAC. Other methods are DHCP, random number and manual configuration. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
