Right now, this might be the only way DHCPv6 is working with Foreman. Foreman currently has no knowledge of DHCPv6 at all. The installer modules do not configure DHCPv6 at all. What currently works is that Foreman can either set an IPv6 address manually or it can pick up an IPv6 address assigned via SLAAC through puppet facts. As it gains knowledge of the IPv6 address after the provisioning phase in the latter case, it cannot provision a DNS AAAA-record during provisioning of the host. This basically limits IPv6 in Foreman to a dual-stacked network. IPv6 only PXE installations are currently not supported because that would require DHCPv6. Foreman has an IPAM mode that basically does the same calculations as SLAAC to get an IPv6-address based on the mac address of a host. If you choose that mode, it can also deploy a AAAA-record during host provisioning. I hope, this helps. Let me know if anything is still unclear or you need more information. -- Timo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "foreman-dev" group.
