Yes, I'm probably doing this all wrong, please help. Question 2: Is there a good default IPv6 address that I should use? Converting an IPv4 address in the same network to IPv6 gives me a valid IPv6 address, but I can't reserve it on the router for the reason above (router won't do IPv6 and it requires a MAC address to link to the IPv4 address which is already in use). I can't set it as the current IPv6 address as it is currently using the Link Local Address and won't accept this as a valid static IP address. An IPv6 device will use the MAC address of its. Our DHCP server (a router) doesn't doesn't actually do IPv6 so I need to set it as static on the server. EUI-64 (Extended Unique Identifier) is a method we can use to automatically configure IPv6 host addresses. Also, the 7th bit in the first byte is flipped to a binary 1. An interface ID is created by inserting the hex number FFFE in the middle of the MAC address of the network card. 192.168.45.1) to IPv6 and use that as my IPv6 address, will there be a IP address conflict, or are the two protocols completely different, as in on completely different networks?īackground: We have an issue where when the server reboots the DHCP assigned IPv6 address changes (it is actually the Link Local Address), which then makes some of the bespoke software think it has been installed on a second server and we get licensing issues. The second part of an IPv6 unicast address (used to identify a host’s network interface) is usually a 64-bit interface identifier. Question 1: If I translate my current IPv4 address (e.g. Sorry guys, these are probably stupid questions, my knowledge of IPv6 is quite limited. In this video, I will introduce how to get an IPv6 link local address by using EUI-64 method.
