P.S. maybe it's possible to automagically change the ipv6 addresses of my servers when I get a new prefix, but *I* don't know how to do that. dhcpv6.
Or more precisely, dhcpv6-pd, which gets your local prefix. Konraad would need dhcpv6 to dish out the fixed addresses to his servers automatically, that's what I meant.
And that's why I said dpchv6-pd. dhcpv6 by itself won't do it.
You confuse two things - how local router gets information about valid prefix(es) for global addresses and how local hosts get new prefix(es) distributed to them.
Konraad question was about the latter. The former can be achieved by DHCPv6 PD or any other means, including protocol private to provider. But even if you know new prefix you still need to distribute it to local hosts and *that* has absolutely nothing to do with Prefix Delegation.
No I'm not getting things confused. Dhcpv6 can provide a single IP address. Dhcpv6-pd is used to get the network prefix, which the router will in turn hand out to devices on the local network, usually with router advertisements. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
