dhcpcd-discuss

Hi Roy,

This is Renu from NEC India.

I am getting an issue while configuring  my device with stateless DHCPv6 server. I need to receive SLAAC address from RA and other configuration from DHCPv6 Server
Following is my setup's configuration:
Server:

*         Windows Server 2012 R2
Client:

*         dhcpcd v6.11.0, and

*         linux kernel: v2.6.32

Currently  Network Router is configured to send RA packets with following bit configurations:
M-bit: 0
O-bit: 1

Currently we are getting both IPv6 address assigned by DHCPv6 server as well as one from SLAAC. but i think as per M Bit Configuration, DHCPv6 address should have been ignored.

Could you please suggest parameters to be added in conf file for configuring dhcpcd6.11.0 to use SLAAC. Also, please tell me if this behaviour could be due to some missing configuration of older linux kernel version.

To avoid IPv6 configuration from DHCPv6, there can be two possible ways:
1. DHCP request omits 'IANA' field, so as not to get back the address.
2. Address is received from DHCPv6 but is ignored by the dhcpd client.
(Could you let me know which of the above would be the case for Stateless DHCP)

Best Regards
