The global ipv6 address is lost at about 5 minutes after booting. There are no ip6tables rules installed.
Router advertisments are received correctly and I found out about this with two tests: a) I used whireshark to see the ipv6 packets from where I saw the ra packets arriving b) I boot a windows virtual machine via virtualbox using a bridged interface and the virtual machine got a ipv6 address with no problem. Is there a way to trigger manually to install a global ipv6 address via autoconfiguration? I tried ifdown, ifup still with no success. -----Original Message----- From: Pascal Hambourg [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, August 13, 2010 11:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: ipv6 stateless autoconfiguration failing Hello, George Manousakis a écrit : > > I have configured my router to advertise its ipv6 prefix and the nd > packets are received for the debian host updated with the testing packages. > > Just after the boot the interface "Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme > BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet" is getting a global ipv6 address correctly but > after a while the address is lost and on the interface only the link > local address remains. "A while" being what kind of delay ? Seconds, minutes, hours, days ? > Why is that happening? Maybe because the host does not receive router advertisements any more. Maybe ip6tables rules drop them. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
