- kyledrake 10y agoYes, it's an issue. My router cannot assign an IPv6 address to my phone if my phone can't ask for one.
- wmf 10y agoIf you really want IPv6 to work, enable SLAAC.
- jeff_marshall 10y agoHow are you getting DNS configuration (server + search domain) via SLAAC?
- okket 10y agoWith the RDNSS + DNSSL options for Router Advertisement (RFC standard since 2010), described here: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6106#section-5 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6106#section-5 If you know a RA implementation that does not support this, please tell.
- fulafel 10y agoOr IPv4 DHCP, if you're not IPv6-only.
- okket 10y agoYou might not want to rely on a soon to be declared historic protocol for essential network configuration... https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-howard-sunset4-v4historic-00 https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-howard-sunset4-v4historic-... (This draft will probably expire, but shots are fired) Edit: Here is a PDF that describes what deprecating IPv4 means http://ipv6.sa/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IPv4_historic.pdf http://ipv6.sa/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IPv4_historic.pdf
- jeff_marshall 10y agowell, at least as recently as Windows 8.1[1], windows was on that list and microsoft said to use DHCP for that (which has always bugged me as it's yet another protocol to support). Have things changed? I haven't checked on win 10.
