Yesterday it was on fe80::20e7:a0ff:fe51:6fd8. It changes on power on, it seems.
There's something wrong with that router. Any IPv6 address starting with fe80 is a link local address. A link local address is supposed to use the MAC address, with fffe inserted in the middle as the lower 64 bits (the MAC universal/local bit is inverted) of the IPv6 address. It should not be changing.
Dunno. It's a TP-Link TD-W8970. I haven't looked yet to see if there are firmware updates, I'm still reading the manual. On 2013-06-03 16:51, James Knott wrote:
As I mentioned earlier, you can use unique local addressess in the fc00 range. For example, you could use fc00::1 with a /64 subnet mask. Just use different addresses, fc00::2 etc., for other computers. Using this, you will have enough addresses for 2^64 computers, which should be enough. ;-)
Oh. I might try that. The router has these settings: +++···················· IPv6 LAN Settings The parameters of IPv6 LAN can be configured on this page. Note: Only default group supports IPv6 now. Group: Default Address Autoconfiguration Type: (*) RADVD ( ) DHCPv6 Server Site Prefix Configuration Type: ( ) Delegated (*) Static Site Prefix: ( ) Site Prefix Length: (64 ) ····················++- The other possibility is this: +++···················· Address Autoconfiguration Type: ( ) RADVD (*) DHCPv6 Server Start IPv6 Address: ( 1) ::(1~FFFE) End IPv6 Address: ( FFFE) ::(1~FFFE) Leased Time: (86400) seconds (The default value is 86400) Site Prefix Configuration Type: ( ) Delegated (*) Static Site Prefix: ( ) Site Prefix Length: (64 ) ····················++- What would I use for the site prefix, just "fc00"? And what would the length be? I tried and it says that it is invalid. It accepts "fc00::", which is then changed to "fC00:0:0:0::", with dhcp6. But in that case, the configuration allows me to assign addresses to MACs for IPv4, but not 6. I would then have to use static IPv6 only. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
