except for nor using it at all, of course.

So I want to make my homelab IPv6 ready, because I have too much free time, i guess. There are two decisions that I’m currently unsure about:

  1. ULA or not. Do you have local only addresses or do your clients communicate using the global IPv6 address? Does not using ULAs work without a static IP from the ISP?
  2. DHCPv6 or is SLAAC enough?

For each question both options seem to be possible and I’m interested in your experience

Cheers

    1. Probably wouldn’t hurt to set them up, especially if you don’t have a static prefix. The good thing is that interfaces can have multiple IPv6 addresses, so they can use both the public address and the ULA.
    2. SLAAC should always be enough. Make sure you don’t block the ICMP6 messages it needs though (I’ve been bitten by that once, firewalld behaves weirdly around this).
