After booting this system the interface gets the required local IPv4 and global IPv6 address, also a global IPv6 address is generated using the MAC address, which is allocated to the interface about 8 minutes later. At that moment no IPv6 address randomly generated is allocated. So the interface has 2 global IPv6 addresses allocated. After 1 day and about 7 hours, there have not been any change in the allocated IPv6 addresses, "ifdown eth0" and "ifup eth0" are given. At that moment within a few seconds both above global IPv6 addresses are allocated to the interface. At the same time a randomly generated global IPv6 address is allocated. So now the interface has 3 global IPv6 addresses. Using a website which displays the source IP address, first the IPv6 address generated using the MAC address is shown. I would prefer to see here the fixed IPv6 address. After having got the 3 global IPv6 addresses, this website shows the randomly generated IPv6 address. I would prefer to see here the fixed IPv6 address. After this each hour the randomly generated global IPv6 address is changed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot the system and after some minutes do an ifconfig; it shows 2 global IPv6 addresses 2.Do a ifdown and ifup and an ifconfig; it shows 3 global IPv6 addresses. 3. Expected Results: ifconfig should show always 2 or 3 global IPv6 addresses The avahi entries in the attachment have been changed slightly to not reveal my global IPv6 address -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
