Question about IPv6 and DUID creation

Hi,

I have a new IoT device that works with IPv6. It is assigned an FE address if I don't use RA, if enable RA it is assigned an IPv6 address within the RA range but does not appear in the DHCP server listing. None of these addresses appear in the XG DHCP server list. The device is talking to the internet with the IP4 and the IPv6  fe address. I would like to get some visibility of what it is actually doing so I can workout why websites are being blocked when they are in the allowed list.

Now the question is how to create a DUID for it so I can add a static IPv6.

  • I understand that the DUID is created by the node/computer/IoT device itself.  I believe that there are 3 types of DUID:

    1. DUID-LLT = link layer address plus timestamp
    2. Vender assigned unique ID based on manufacturer
    3. Link layer address

    I know that the XG does not fully support all IPv6 features.  But the same is true for Android.  Android only supports stateless.  As a result, Android devices on my network cannot connect via IPv6.  It would be great if Android would support stateful, but for some reason people seem to like stateless.
