switching to it. I've been getting IPv6 via tunnel for 6 years and my ISP is now providing it. These days, dhcpv6-pd is being used to provide the prefixes and must be supported by anything that's being used as a firewall/router and that includes Linux. Sure - I guess most people have a router/modem with the appropriate PD support. I've never needed it, always had static configs.
Manual configuration is used for business customers, where the prefix is configured into the router and routing protocols, such as OSPF or EIGRP, set up routing to the network. However, ISPs serving consumers want to avoid that and use something that works automagically. That something is dhcpv6-pd, just as dhcp repalced manual configuration. With my tunnel, the client I use sets up the prefix on my firewall/router. Fortunately it still works with Leap. So, at the moment, I have to get dhcpcd 6.10.1 to work for this. Manually starting it doesn't do the trick for IPv6. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
