http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=916956 Bug ID: 916956 Summary: Acquiring of IPv6 address is delayed Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: 13.2 Hardware: All OS: openSUSE 13.2 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Network Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: nrickert@ameritech.net QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0 Build Identifier: When I boot my system, it does not have a public IPv6 address (it does have a link local address). The IPv6 address shows up later, usually within 15 minutes. It is possible that this is a router problem, though it doesn't look that way to me. If I use NetworkManager, I get an IPv6 address immediately. The problem only shows up with "wicked". Another system, running opensuse 13.1, shows the same problem when configured for "ifup" (but is fine with NetworkManager). If I run "systemctl restart network.service", I then get an IPv6 address. If I boot up a second system, whether using "wicked" or "NetworkManager", then the first system immediately gets an IPv6 address. Enabling DHCP6 does not affect anything (my router does not support DHCP6). My understanding is that the IPv6 address is generated from a route announcement. It looks to me as if the system does solicit such an announcement during startup, but it appears unready to accept that announcement. So starting a second system again solicits an announcement, and by this time the first system is now ready to respond to that announcement. Note that the problem is also present in Tumbleweed and in 13.1. Reproducible: Always -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
