Run radvd on your network, using some fc00 prefix. That'll allow such devices to auto-configure and you won't need the old firefox.
Is that some dhcp alike for version 6?
radvd is a router advertisement daemon, every router has one. If you run it on a non-router, it'll also work.
I'm sorry, no idea what that thing does.
I appreciate that - radvd issues "router advertisements" in response to "router solicitations", that is all. Every IPv6 device on your network will send out "router solicitations" to figure out what the prefix is and how to get out. Maybe be a little careful - devices that prefer ipv6 could end up stuck I think. For /etc/radvd.conf, there is a "clients {};" clause, to restrict to certain clients only.
My router has it, apparently configured by the ISP, but no idea what it does.
But when your ISP does not support it, that is of no use. I hope you don't see any "router advertisements" on your network.
You still have the problem of finding out what IP is the device at.
Yes. Given the right setup, that can be solved with dynamic dns updates.
Apparently, my router does not do it for IPv6.
Which makes sense when it does not have an ipv6 prefix.
With IPv4 I can use nmap to scan my entire network to find it. Good look with scanning the IPv6 LAN in a reasonable time.
You do a "ping6 ff02::1%eth0" and replace "fe80::" with your prefix.
Is that a broadcast, or pinging a single host? I don't understand how I can use that to find a particular device of unknown address.
Yes, ffxx addresses are multicast addresses. ff02::1 is "every node on the local network". -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.4°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
