Hello, Running 2.6.11 on a PowerPc platforms with no routers and no routers advertising. At boot time, eth0 has its Link-Local address (fe80::xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx/64) on all units.
The output from an "ip -6 route show" on all units is: fe80::/64 dev eth0 metric 256 mtu 1500 advmss 1440 metric 10 64 ff00::/8 dev eth0 metric 256 mtu 1500 advmss 1440 metric 10 1 unreachable default dev lo proto none metric -1 error -101 metric 10 255 I can not ping back and forth with these units. I now turn on radvd on a Linux server, which is now advertising a 3ffe:303:11:2::/64 prefix. At this point the output of the "ip -6 route show" is: 3ffe:303:11:2::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 mtu 1500 advmss 1440 metric 10 64 fe80::/64 dev eth0 metric 256 mtu 1500 advmss 1440 metric 10 64 ff00::/8 dev eth0 metric 256 mtu 1500 advmss 1440 metric 10 1 default via fe80::220:edff:febe:3caf dev eth0 proto kernel metric 1024 expires 26sec mtu 1500 advmss 1440 metric 10 64 unreachable default dev lo proto none metric -1 error -101 metric 10 255 I can now ping back and forth with the Link-Local addresses as well as the Link-Global addresses. So my question is: How can I achieve IPv6 communication using the Link-Local addresses without a router in place or a router advertising?
