With IPv6 it is possible to be on more than one subnet at the same time.
Beside this it's also true for ipv4. On the other hand both of Lew's public ipv6 IPs are from the _same_ subnet.
The first 64 bits of an IPv6 address denote your subnet address
Only if you have /64 mask.
or, in the case of link local addresses, start with feff. There are other special address ranges.
You mean fe80 right? Even more precisely it's fe80::/10 (fe80 - febf).
I think the infrastructure scanner here looks for a match and if it doesn't find it assumes a private address?
That's what I suspect. Your network admin will have to fix that or expect a lot of problems in the future.
I'don't believe that the network staff of that 6000 nodes is completely wrong here. Before asking the admin about _fixing_ his network I would ask him about how your client should be configured. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
