RA (Router Advertisement) handles announcing the prefix for SLAAC addresses and DNS.
- vetinari 4y agoyes, but RDNSS is a relatively new option (only since 2007 ;) ), so some implementations ignore it.
- magicalhippo 4y agoBut not other services like NTP, so DHCPv6 is still needed.
- Arnavion 4y agoFor NTP, an alternative is letting the LAN devices connect to whatever NTP server they want to, and just NAT'ing outgoing udp/123 to your NTP server.
- magicalhippo 4y agoWell yes, but that's a suboptimal hack.
- zoredache 4y agoCreate a DNS name ntp.yourdomain.example.org that points at your internal ntp servers. Configure your ntp clients to use the name, and maybe add a pool.ntp.org entry or two into your configs.
- magicalhippo 4y ago> Configure your ntp clients to use the name So how do you do this hands-off, ie without manually changing things on the clients, without DHCPv6?
