Ok, it generates a random prefix. Who generates the "posfix" on each machine?
Do they still get the global addresses?
Yes, you get both a global and unique local address. Both get the prefix from the router and the client provides the suffix.
The prefix is determined by whatever appears with that random generation. It will not change until you change it.
Sorry, I don't see the advantage.
The advantage is the prefix does not change for ULA, so that you can configure your DNS to point to those devices. I thought this thread started with you complaining about the changing address. With your ISP, the global prefix changes, but not the ULA prefix.
That complain was in another thread. This is about the non working firewall in the router, which leaves my entire LAN accessible to Internet at large. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
