I admit that I'm a big fan of either static ipv6 or then just
slaac/radvd for automatic addr assignement.
But I was faced once with that dibbler problem, but don't know how the
dibbler daemon was configured (nor how it's configured at your side either).
From the discussion I had with the DC support people (online.net,
hosting company in France) they wanted me to use a dibbler client, which
I didn't want to, and they wanted me to specific the DUID that dibbler
at the server side would use to recognize the dhclient request.
So here is what I did (worth knowing that ipv6.method is set to 'ignore'
from a NM PoV) :
create the /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d/dhclient6.conf :
interface "eth0" {
send dhcp6.client-id my:long:duid:id:that:dibbler:wants:bla:etc ;
}
And then "plumb" it in a NetworkManager dispatcher.d script (I *really*
like dispatcher.d script as you can take action when some interface are
up/down, etc ....):
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/99-ipv6-online.sh :
#!/bin/bash
IF=$1
STATUS=$2
if [[ "$IF" = "eth0" && "$STATUS" = "up" ]] ; then
logger "IF $IF status changed to $STATUS"
sleep 10
logger launching ipv6 client for $IF
/usr/sbin/dhclient -cf /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d/dhclient6.conf -6 -P -v
eth0 -nw
fi
YMMV but I hope that it will help you
PS : never looked at this again but maybe NM has now a way to specify
that directly ?
