Hi Gert, you are right its a bit unusual and you may very well consider it bad practice and if I have enough time it will hopefully solve it in a better way at some point. The reasoning behind this is that this way the DHCPv6 (PD) server can easily learn about the whole available prefix rang

Hi Gert, In regular OpenWrt ip6assign means that - as already written - a /60 (if available) is taken from the DP and the assigned to the given interface. That value was chosen rather arbitrarily. The first /64 of that DP is handed out via RA and stateful DHCPv6 (IA_NA). The rest of the /60 (o

A /64 prefix and SLAAC can only really be applied to a single link in your network, so if you wanted to separate your network into multiple links (ie: not bridging) then you would use a shorter prefix to get the routing right between each of those links. For example, the IPv6 prefix generated by y

Hiya, I've installed "trunk (r40576)" on a few boxes because I want to play around with homenet (hnetd / package hnet-full). Before I even get there, I'm wondering about something. The sample "/etc/config/network" file has an option in there which confuses me: config interface 'lan' op
