Nov 16 15:21:25.991897 bpim64tumhon wickedd-dhcp4[625]: eth0: Reinitiating DHCPv4 discovery (ifindex 2) I got two global IPv6 addresses, but they do not seem to be alive on the network when I try to ping these addresses on the same network/switch. Also a ping6 from the system gets nothing back. These two addresses are derived from the MAC address and a random number. This would mean the system received data from SLAAC. Is there anything else I can do?
