I meant.... I love DHCPv6.
If only RA wasn't mandatory part of IPv6, I am all for DHCPv6.
It's the fault of early IPv6 designers with NIH syndrome created this mess.
- kiwijamo 2y agoOut of interest as I have found IPv6 RA to work flawlessly for my home network (alongside legacy IPv4 DHCP), what advantage (if any) is there in deploying DHCPv6 within the home LAN? Or were you meaning to say DHCPv6 is great for certain (enterprise?) use cases?
- hamandcheese 2y agoWhen I was experimenting with IPv6 on my lan, router advertisements indeed worked great! But the big loss was that I had no control to reserve a particular IPv6 address for a particular MAC address inside the DHCP server, or assign DNS names automatically, etc. since it's basically 1 way - device receives a RA then configures itself with a random address.

- pantalaimon 2y agoYou could give the device a static address and let duplicate address detection do it’s thing
- Spivak 2y agoAnd also really optimistic that client-client connections are allowed to perform the auto-configuration. Probably true in a home network, probably not at the office. I hope not at the office.
