Hi, when I try to get an IPv6 address, here is what I get :

Code:
eth0: soliciting an IPv6 router
eth0: Router Advertisement from fe80::20d:29ff:fe75:43c9
eth0: ignoring RA from fe80::20d:29ff:fe75:43c9 (no public prefix, no managed address)
eth0: soliciting a DHCPv6 lease
...


And I only get a local address (fe80)...
I can ping this router but not get an IPv6 adress.

Any idea of options to accept this RA, or specific configuration ?

I tried adding this options to /etc/sysctl.conf but it doesn't help :

Code:

net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra = 1


On my network at home, I don't have this problem, I can have an IPv6 address without doing anything...

Add ipv6ra_accept_nopublic to /etc/dhcpcd.conf

This flag has been removed in newer versions.

Thank you, now I don't have these messages anymore, but still no IPv6 address...

Any idea how to find out exactly what's happening ?

Use tcpdump to see if the IPv6 router is actually offering any IPv6 addresses.
But if dhccpd thinks there are none, then there probably are none.
