Good morning,<br>
<br>
We have setup a radvd server in our network to deploy the ipv6 into<br>
our infrastructure. We would like to have a record of the distributed<br>
addresses similar to the one that is available with dhcpd.<br>
<br>
The output with dhcpd is something like this:<br>
Jan 31 12:18:45 server dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.1.201 from<br>
f8:1e:df:74:25:12 (name) via eth0<br>
Jan 31 12:18:45 server dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.1.201 to<br>
f8:1e:df:74:25:12 (name) via eth0<br>
Jan 31 12:18:59 server dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.1.206 from<br>
00:1e:a4:a4:2e:9e via eth0<br>
Jan 31 12:18:59 server dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.1.206 to<br>
00:1e:a4:a4:2e:9e via eth0<br>
Jan 31 12:20:12 server dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.1.205 from<br>
7c:c5:37:bf:11:fd via eth0<br>
Jan 31 12:20:12 server dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.1.205 to<br>
7c:c5:37:bf:11:fd via eth0<br>
<br>
<br>
Is that possible with radvd? I've searched through the archives and I<br>
haven't been able to find anything.<br>
<br>
Thank you very much<br>

</font></blockquote></div><br>Hi Joan,<br><br>In short, no. It's not possible with radvd.<br><br>Longer answer... It's the hosts' responsibility to configure its own addresses. Radvd is only sending the hosts the network prefix. Some hosts will contact radvd through the all routers multicast address, but even so, the source address of the solicitation may be empty. Additionally, hosts don't have to contact radvd at all. A host can wait for a periodic broadcast from radvd then autoconfigure from there without ever contacting radvd. Also, the host does not communicate back to radvd which addresses it selected. Generally the host portion of the IPv6 address (the lower 64 bits) are derived from the mac address, but this isn't required...<br>
<br>DHCPv6 may be able to do exactly what you want, but that would be for another mailing list...<br><br>Thanks,<br>Reuben<br>
