Hello -

Am using FreeBSD 6.3 as a dhcp6 client, trying to get DDNSv6 operational in this environment. When I execute 'dhcp6c -d lnc0' from the command line, the following messages are logged on the (ISC 4.1.0p1) DHCP6 server:

Solicit message from fe80::20c:29ff:fef3:a5de port 546, transaction ID 0xB3D95D
Unable to pick client prefix: no IPv6 prefix pools on this shared network
Sending Advertise to fe80::20c:29ff:fef3:a5de port 546

Am confused by the message above, in particular the "prefix pools", as this host obtains the "global address" prefix and configures both link local and global addresses via SLAAC. Surely this can't be the same prefix.

Equally confusing is that the Solaris hosts on this LAN have no problem getting v6 addresses via this DHCP server, and there seems to be plenty of free leases available.

Does FreeBSD 6.3 DHCP6 client need a "prefix", or a "pool" of them to be delivered by the server? Obviously I'm a little bit confused :) and am thinking the problem is with the dhcpd.conf file. Hoping for some clarification or direction. Configs are below.

Thanks for your guidance/suggestions!  -Brett

Seems I misconfigured dhcp6c.conf to request a pool of addresses for delivery downstream instead of a single stateful address. Now using the current FreeBSD, 8.0-RELEASE, with dhcp6c.conf setup as seen below:

interface le0 {
        send ia-na 0;           # request stateful address
        request domain-name;
        request domain-name-servers;
}
id-assoc na 0 {
}

It works.  On to DDNSv6.  -Brett
