[Dibbler] Hand out default route information

[Wiegand, Steven]

Tomasz,

Thanks for your help.  I used the 'ipv6 nd prefix 8000:0:0:804::/64 3600
1800 no-autoconfig' command.  This replaces the 'ipv6 nd
prefix-advertisement ...' command.  With this, my client received a
default route from my Cisco router and I was able to use Dibbler as my
DHCPv6 server to receive and IP address along with my DNS server and
domains.  

 

This info might be helpful to someone:

*	No ipv6 nd prefix command

	*	Sends RA with a Prefix information option flag of 0XC0

		*	0XC0 = Both the Autonomous address-configuration
& On-link flag bit are set

	*	Global IP address autoconfigured on client
(8000:0:0:804)
	*	Default gateway autoconfigured on client (fe80: ...)

 

*	ipv6 nd prefix 8000:0:0:804::/64 3600 1800 no-autoconfig

	*	Sends RA with a Prefix information option flag of 0X80 

		*	0X80 = On-link flag bit - Managed address
configuration

	*	Global IP address NOT autoconfigured on client
	*	Default gateway autoconfigured on client (fe80: ...)

*	ipv6 nd prefix 8000:0:0:804::/64 3600 1800 off-link

	*	Sends RA with a Prefix information option flag of 0X40 

		*	0X40 = Autonomous address-configuration
		*	Host will generate an address by adding the
interface identifier to the prefix

	*	Global IP address autoconfigured on client
(8000:0:0:804)
	*	Default gateway autoconfigured on client (fe80: ...)

Subject: Hand out default route information

 

I would like to have a host receive a default route along with an
address from the dibbler DHCPv6 server. I realize that DHCPv6 should not
configure routing, but here is my problem. 

 In my current configuration I have a Dibber DHCPv6 server, a Dibbler
DHCPv6 Windows 2003 client, and a relay router (Cisco) between them.
I'd like my host to only get the DHCPv6 assigned address and not an
autoconfigured address from the router's RA.  If I enable the DHCPv6
client, I receive the desired IP address, but I also receive an auto
configuration address from the router.  Now I have two addresses.  If I
suppress the RAs from the router (ipv6 nd suppress-ra), I will only have
one address (from the DHCPv6 server), but I then have to configure a
default route manually on the host.  I wanted this as automated as
possible without having to manually configure each host.

 

I looked into disabling the address parameter of the RA process, but I
didn't come across anything.

 

I saw another posting similar to this and the response was that DHCPv6
should not configure host routing.  I agree with the response, but I
haven't been able to come up with a solution to my problem.  Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.
