With IPv6, routers use something called router advertisements to announce the network prefix, default route, DHCP, etc.. If you don't have RAs, nothing will happen. I have what I posted on the photo: <http://susepaste.org/56779419>
And no, I don't know what it all means or does. Well, I see DHCPv6 and RADVD settings there and they appear to show normal operation. Stateless DHCPv6 means it is not used to provide addresses, but can provide addresses for servers, such as DNS. RADVD is enabled. I don't know why the preference is low, though. Based on what I see there, it should be providing IPv6 addresses, assuming the ISP does. I see it also can provide Unique Local Addresses (ULA). This is

With ULA, you choose a prefix starting with fc00 and add another 40 bits. The idea is to use some random means to generate those 40 bits. I see it can also automagically pick a random prefix. So, enable ULA prefix Advertisement and select either random or static, to create your ULA prefix. Once that's all done, your devices should have an IPv6 address. Incidentally, one thing I don't see, which is available with pfSense, is the means to have multiple networks. I have a /56 prefix from my ISP, which gives me 256 /64 prefixes, to assign to various networks. This would imply you only get a single /64. The same applies with my ISP, if I used their router. With the modem in bridge mode, I get the /56. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
