However, I haven't tried connecting with a computer that has a static address. So, just enable DHCP to test to see what happens. That's incorrect. I forgot my main computer has a static IPv4 address and it gets an IPv6 address automagically. Oh. Curious!
How does it do that, what component listens for it? If one sets a static IPv4 address in yast it also expects one to write an IPv6 address there. I don't expect a dhcp6 client to be listening unless specified.
As I mentioned, router advertisements are used. The operating system receives them to find the prefix and router address and then creates an address.
Anyway, I don't get any from the router:
Telcontar:~ # ip -6 route show fc00::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 mtu 1492 pref medium fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 mtu 1492 pref medium fe80::/64 dev vmnet1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium fe80::/64 dev vmnet8 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
Where's that fc00: coming from? That's one of the Unique Local Address ranges. Perhaps you should call your ISP to find out if they're offering IPv6 and, if so, what's required to use it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
