My ISP is finally rolling out IPv6. One thing that's required is for the router to make a DHCPv6-PD request to get the prefix info etc. I don't know if my router/firewall, based on openSUSE 13.1 is doing that. I don't see anything in Wireshark that would indicate it's making that sort of request. I'm also not aware of any configuration that would enable it. Does anyone know anything about this?

Hi, have you tried the ISC DHCP Client - dhcp-client? It seems to have taken over from dhcpcd in opensuse and appears to support DHCPv6-PD. I've been following this thread with interest and wondered why dhcpcd was dropped from factory at the beginning of 2015 maybe your problem is the reason why.
Actually, I did try dhcpcd, but couldn't get it to work with dhcpv6-pd. After two frustrating weeks trying to get it to work, I moved to pfsense for my firewall/router. It supports dhcpv6-pd. I had it installed and up & running in no time. It works well. The only shortcoming is I can't run Wireshark on it (yet). Apparently, wicked has much of what's required to support dhcpv6-pd, but, for whatever reason, it wasn't completed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
