I'm trying to set up radvd
on a 6RD configuration (on Linux), where I have a /64 subnet, and I'm trying to use it on two distinct physical networks, so I'm trying to give each of them a /80 subnet. However, when I start radvd
on these interfaces, it says this:
radvd[3987]: prefix length should be 64 for int
(int
being the name of one of the interfaces.)
I know that stateless autoconfiguration doesn't work on subnets that are larger than /64, like a /48 subnet, but AFAIK it's supposed to work on anything that is smaller than /64, so /80 shouldn't be a problem. The final effect, now, is that radvd
simply advertises the wrong subnet prefix, effectively "removing" the first 16 bits of it.
What is this? Am I all wrong on that, is radvd
buggy, or is there some configuration option that I'm missing?
