This is a very helpful link, thanks James.
While it doesn't seem to work completely yet, it's a lot closer. Note that it doesn't work for "ipv6huh" either.
This:
"In the Address from DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation table, click Add and select the DHCPv6 request object from the drop-down list, type ::1111:0:0:0:1/128 in the Suffix Address field."
and this:
"In the Advertised Prefix from DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation table, click Add and select the DHCPv6 request object from the drop-down list, type :1111/64 in the Suffix Address field."
were the keys to getting my SuSE box on the LAN to grab its inet6 addrs.
But there was a typo: :1111/64 should have been ::1111/64, apparently.
But ping6 from the LAN and v6 test web sites don't yet see a v6 connection. This could be other issues with the firewall ACL's that I'll continue to fiddle with.
Note that I could never have figured this out without external assistance. Why the magic "::1111" addresses? What left field did these come out of?
I also have no idea what that ::1111 is for. However, :: represents a string of zeros. You can use it once in the address. For example, a link local address typically starts with fe80:: followed by the 64 bits created from the MAC address. However, looking at the config screens, I'd say you need: 1) Enable SLAAC 2) DHCPv6 Client 3) Request Address 4) Request prefix delegation 5) Enable router advertisement
Once the dust settles with this router and everything is working I'll address the other Asus Wifi router on one of my logical LANs. Let's see if that's easier to configure for v6.
Again, you might contact Cox for assistance, as they should know at least some of the details. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
