Thanks for answering; I got a bit further meanwhile. The first reason my |
| 10 |
initial tests (following your advice literally) didn't work was that my |
| 11 |
router does _not_ assign fe80::1 to itself, but rather some other |
| 12 |
arbitrary address in the fe80 prefix; on close inspection it looks based |
| 13 |
on the MAC address just like a host is supposed to do. When I ping6 or |
| 14 |
traceroute6 that specific address, it works. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Secondly, while the router seems to obtain a delegated prefix from |
| 17 |
upstream, it doesn't assign any address from that range to the internal |
| 18 |
interface. The only ipv6 addresses on the internal interface are the |
| 19 |
link-local address and the ULA address. Is that normal? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I did enable the router advertisement feature, and I checked that the |
| 22 |
daemon is running on the router. But I can see no output related to |
| 23 |
that when I run tcpdump on the desktop system. |

... so you _do_ self-assign a static ipv6 address after all. How do |
| 38 |
you know it is the right one? |

My router doesn't give me a global address. Its documentation is at the |
| 46 |
url below and I think I have followed it correctly. |
