In case of a static IPv6 address, some more information should be provided in the Help about how and what to do. In that case one has to set the IPv6 address of the default gateway. However this could be avoided by searching for this address when the network starts. Currently this is not done.
You can set static IPv6 addrs and routes with "yast2 lan", by adding an Additional Address - and you need to put "/64" into the "Netmask" field there which is a bit ugly.
or you add to /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 IPADDR_1='2001:DB8:1234:5678::1/64'
and to /etc/sysconfig/network/routes default FE80::1234 - eth0
I tried without a default gateway and that did not work. After that I put in the global address masked with /64 and that worked. At this moment I got the address of the router via a traceroute command to an IPv6 address, which gives me the global IPv6 address of the router.
oh and I also always disable DHCP6, because I just run radvd for my LANs - really speeds up booting a lot.
The above, editing files, is more for the experienced user. I have the less experienced user in mind and I want to make it for that user as easy as possible. So I want to stick with what needs to be done in YaST and not really direct the user to editing certain files to achieve a goal. -- fr.gr.
