dhcpcd-discuss

My understanding of IAIDs is that they're client-specific. While I never tested with a provider I've running a router hierarchy behind a FrirzBox and I'm using such simple IAIDs such a 0 or 1.
The point in MAC-derived ones is to be able with dynamically added interfaces, so you get unique IAIDs without prior planning.
Hopefully, this makes some sense, but I might be mistaken, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

Best regards,Harald

Sorry, but I have no idea how this is supposed to work. The
mac address of pppoe0 is generated, so is the default iaid,
too. How can I setup a working ia_pd in this case, using
the default iaid?

My problem is that my IP provider ignores the old delegated
prefix on a reset of the pppoe0 connection. If I invent my
own iaid for pppoe0, then it is pretty unlikely that this will
ever work.
