Hello, I am running radvd on a linux server and it is sending router advertisements to FF02::1. The prefix it is sending is 3ffe:302:11:2::
I have a linux host node running 2.6.11 with the following output from
ifconfig:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:9C:00:08:AD
inet addr:140.179.169.64 Bcast:140.179.169.255

Now, I can ping to other "fe80" nodes on my net as well as other tunnel
hosts on my net, so connectivity is there,
but my linux host never responds to the router advertisement(I am looking at
a network trace).
Now, if I understand this correctly, my host should respond and then take
that prefix "3ffe:302:11:2::" and create a new Global scope inet6 address on
eth0 "3ffe:302:11:2:2a0:9cff:fe00:8ad/128 Scope:Global".
1. Is this correct?
2. Is there some switch that I need to activate, so that my host node will
respond to the advertisement and also create the new inet6 address on eth0?
Thanks.
