IPv6 and DHCPv6

Hi y'all,

I know the Astaro supports DHCPv6 once IPv6 is enabled and the "Other config" option is checked ( as per https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/102/t/69202 ) however what if I want to use a different DHCPv6 server?

In the scenario I have, I want the DHCPv6 to be managed by Active Directory. This would create a situation much like many organisations today - the firewall is managed by group A (network / firewall group) and DHCP is managed by the group B (Wintel / Active Directory team).

This may be a feature request? However I was wondering first if it is possible to host the prefix on the Astaro but point the DHCPv6 at Active Directory...?

I went digging into the RFC's a bit. It depends on the interplay between the settings for the M and O flags how addresses are allocated. IPv6 Address Autoconfiguration how to install study guide

The O flag is already configurable from the WebAdmin GUI, Astaro would just need to implement M flag configuration for your requirements to work.

Hi folks,
there is good news on the MAC front. I have just installed and run LION on my MAC Book Pro and it now gets an IPv6 from the ASG DHCPv6 server automatically.
I would have entered this post with the MAC except I don't have the forum password on the MAC.

My apologies for the half baked heading, the kitten walked across the keyboard and pressed the wrong keys.

Hi,

I tried to setup Astaro and Windows DHCPv6. It is not working, because Astaro has to advertise his Prefix to the Internal network, saying please use DHCPv6 to get an address.

An DHCPv6 Server is not able to send routing Information (default gateway). With IPv6 this is part of the router.
