Yes, it's an issue. My router cannot assign an IPv6 address to my phone if my phone can't ask for one.

  If you really want IPv6 to work, enable SLAAC.

    How are you getting DNS configuration (server + search domain) via SLAAC?
    • okket 10y ago
      With 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.

        Or IPv4 DHCP, if you're not IPv6-only.

          You 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

        well, 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.
