Hi,

will do that.

Just to make sure I'm understanding things correctly:
RIOT does solicit stateless IPv6 addresses by sending RS, and the BR should reply with RA. This is part of SLAAC. I have the nagging feeling that OpenWRT messes up SLAAC on all it's interfaces somehow.

Before switching to Raspbian, I'll do another round of OpenWRT with a sniffer but will leave odhcpd handling just RAs and will disable dhcpv6 so I make sure I'm just using SLAAC/RA/NDP. After a node solicits an IP will proceed to neighbor soliciting, right?

Please let me know if my understanding is correct about this.

Thanks

thanks for the reply. I'm using openwrt as a BR distro with odhcpd handling the RA (and also dhcpv6). The setup works between a Pi-Pi (although my second Pi in the PAN uses dhcpv6 for getting an IP, so that is not a proof of a working solution so far.


you could try to use one of your boards as a sniffer, see [1]. So you can check if you see Router Solicitations (RS) by RIOT nodes and hopefully Router Advertisements (RA) from your RasPi. RIOT needs RAs to (auto) configure its IPv6 interfaces with addresses, there is no
DHCP client on RIOT (yet).

Thus, if odhcpd does not send RAs or if it does, these RAs may contain options RIOT does not except (e.g., as Kaspar already said on-link flag must not be set), in all cases auto-conf
may fail in RIOT.
