My recommendation is to go with pfsense, at least until the openSUSE developers quit putting eye candy ahead of function.
Just to learn about it, I might well do that.
James, be a little reasonable - the guys writing e.g. wicked and the network support have little need for eye candy. Most of the people out there on IPv6 probably have a router supplied by the provider which happily takes of it. Needing/wanting to build your own IPv6 router with this support is a bit of a cornercase, I would say. Might also be difficult to find a suitable test environment.
My dsl-modem gets a /56 prefix. Afther that I put another box, namely the suse-box. After that I have an internal network. In that situation you have to use PD when the ISP does not hand out static prefixes.
Does your suse-box actually get a PD from your provider when your DSL modem is in the way? Just being curious - I guess your suse-box is a firewall which you prefer over the one in your dsl modem?
IMHO not a cornercase.
Perhaps not, but hardly mainstream either :-)
I used my setup to try this also with Ubuntu (14.04LTS). AFAIK it's the same problem, it does not support PD.
It's a very interesting topic - I guess your dsl modem runs the dhcp client which receives the PD from your provider. In a normal setup, ie. without another box in the middle, I guess the dsl modem runs radvd and that's it? I'd love to be able to explore this in depth, but I have had a static ipv6 setup for years. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
