This I do no have clear: you get from the ISP not a single IP (v6), but a range.
Typically a home user will receive a /64 prefix, I think that is the standing recommendation. Not all providers do this, I know of some Swiss providers that allocate smaller chunks. I believe the /64 recommendation is related to routing tables and such, although I'm not intimately familiar with the details.
Ie, you get a prefix, and all your internal machines have to use that same prefix, plus something to differentiate each one (pos-fix?).
James will get e.g. 2001:db8:1234:1234/64, and his local machines could be 2001:db8:1234:1234::1 2001:db8:1234:1234::2 2001:db8:1234:1234::3 etc. Internally, he can use dynamic or static allocation or both.
With IPv6 we not need/use NAT, but each local machine gets one outside, real, address. Is this so?
Right.
Thus, whatever replaces dhcpd-server on the inside has to know and use that external prefix.
One can use radvd alone or radvd+dhcp combined. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
