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. From man nmap: -6: Enable IPv6 scanning And scan millions of addresses? The fc00:: range is huge.
And perhaps nmap is the wrong tool. It's a port scanner. While it can be used to find hosts, it's not the best way to do that. I mentioned using ip neighbor show. It shows all the IP addresses my computer is aware of. I just fired up Wireshark, to watch for ICMP6 packets, which include neighbor advertisements. It appears a device will advertise itself at around every several seconds (varies with device). So, every IPv6 address on the network will appear in the output of ip neighbor show. You will see all the IP addresses and their MAC address. It will not show host names, so you'll have to do some other checks, just like you would in IPv4. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
