I stopped using odhcpd and shifted to dnsmasq because of IPv6 related issues - notably the inability to specify fixed IPv6 addresses. See the issue filed on github again odhcpd (https://github.com/sbyx/odhcpd/issues/27). More than 18 months and *not* a single developer comment. And if what https://github.com/V10lator commented is true, the developers possibly do not know enough.
IMHO, odhcpd was an extremely ill-informed move in OpenWRT. I fail to understand the value that project brought to OpenWRT. Since starting to use dnsmasq, I am not having any issues with the names being registered for DHCPv6 on Windows 10 and Linux. IMHO, drop odhcpd and go back to dnsmaq - a way better piece of software and well documented. If I remember correctly, this is what I needed to do in /etc/dnsmasq.conf to get IPv6 to start working. # IPv6 dhcp-range=lan,::1000:0000,::FFFF:FFFF, constructor:br-lan, slaac, 64, 12h enable-ra For static addresses, I have rules like this in /etc/dnsmasq.conf: dhcp-host=08:00:5e:35:2a:09,192.168.45.36,myvm2,[::dead:beef] that is: dhcp-host=<mac address>,<IPv4 address>,<hostname>,[<:IPv6 host suffix>] Best, Sachin On Tuesday 05 January 2016 02:58 PM, Tom wrote: > Hello OpenWRT users, > > I have successfully configured my OpenWRT box (Chaos Calmer) with native > IPv6 dual stack.
