Just wondering, which method do you use? It seems to me that using SLAAC will produce some pretty difficult-to-recognize addresses, so for now I've got a DHCP6 setup.
I normally use SLAAC, but also have random number addresses enabled. It's easy enough to add the SLAAC addresses to a hosts file or DNS. The random number addresses came about because some people had security concerns about using the MAC address. You can configure computers to use either or both, as well as manual configuration and DHCP6. The random address is fine if you're not running servers, but you need some static method if you are. On my home network, I'm running dnsmasq, so all I have to do is add the host names and addresses to the host file on that computer and then restart dnsmasq. I also use an external DNS for when I'm away from home. If you have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for a computer, list the IPv6 first in the hosts file, so that it gets priority. BTW, that random number address also changes periodically. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
