DEBIAN - Having problems with dhcp6 (still), can anyone help
![[ch]](/s/countries/ch.gif) Shadow Hawkins on Tuesday, 03 February 2009 13:30:04
Hi,
I'm having a difficult time getting this dhcp for IPv6 (dhcp6 from
ports) working.
interface eth0 {
server-preference 255;
prefer-life-time 10000;
valid-life-time 20000;
renew-time 5000;
rebind-time 8000;
# option dns_servers 2001:db8:0:f101::1 sub.domain.example;
link AAA {
allow unicast;
send unicast;
range 2001:41e0:ff46:1806::10 to 2001:41e0:ff46:1806::110/64;
prefix 2001:41e0:ff46:1806::/64;
};
};
Basically, nothing is happening. I have a router-debian on which I start
dhcp6s manually (i have a dhcp6 client on a mac),I can see that this process is actually
listening for incoming requests but I missing a dns server in the configuration file... (may be ns1.sixxs.net & ns3.sixxs.net)
If there is anyone on this list that is familiar with how to setup
this software, please enlighten me. I'm been searching through what
VERY limited documentation for dhcp6 exists and haven't made any
headway as of yet. I found some discussion boards on sourceforge.net
for this software project, but there was pitiful little there as well,
not to mention only a few postings.
Any help is appreciated.

ns{1|2|3}.sixxs.net are not recursive/caching DNS servers. They are authoritive only and thus only serve sixxs.net and a couple of other domains, but nothing else.
$dig @ns1.sixxs.net microsoft.com |grep status
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: REFUSED, id: 32788
$ dig @ns3.sixxs.net microsoft.com |grep status
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: REFUSED, id: 24495
ns2 will redirect one to '.' for zones it doesn't know.
As for the DHCPv6 issue itself, I understand that 'dibbler' (server+client) work like a charm, but never heard anybody report that the 'dhcp6' package works or for that matter used it.
