I configured the wlan interface of my little home server to automatic configuration on IPv6 only (dhcp6). I also wrote in the router:
LAN IPv6 Link-Local Address Configuration ( ) EUI-64 (*) User Setting Interface Identifier: [0:0:0:1]
(see photo of router at susepaste)
But I get nothing on that wlan0 when restarted. I gather I must fill this field:
Static LAN IPv6 Address Configuration Interface Address (prefix length is required): [______]
I wrote there "fc00::/64", applied, and restarted network on machine. Still, no go:
As I said before, you need some method of providing those automatic addresses. The usual way is with SLAAC, though DHCPv6 can also be used. You need one or the other. What would you do on IPv4? You'd set up DHCP. With IPv6, you use SLAAC or perhaps DHCPv6. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6#Stateless_address_autoconfiguration_.28SL...
I'm trying to do it with the router as is. I have no idea what the router does.
I don't know what you're using for a router, but I use pfSense and it works well. I used to use OpenSUSE as a firewall/router and it also worked well, when I had a 6in4 tunnel.
It is a commercial router installed by my ISP and can not be changed. Comtrend VG-8050
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. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
