Jessie IPv6 privacy extensions - turn off?

Thu Jan 21, 2016 10:16 pm

I'm running Raspian Jessie on a Pi2. My network provider assigns a /64 ivp6 prefix to my router every day. This prefix-change is published to my internal network immediately. As I like to configure my router (firewall) to allow direct traffic pass-through, I need to have the privacy extensions turned *off*. This has worked with raspian wheezy before.

But raspian jessie currently calculates a new private address with every prefix-change.

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/use_tempaddr returns 0, so the kernel privacy extension seems to be turned off.

Any ideas?

What do you have in /etc/dhcpcd.conf?

Code: Select all

     slaac private
or

Code: Select all

     slaac hwaddr
I changed from the default private to hwaddr to make IPv6 more sane on my network.

Thanks a lot! I just commented out

Code: Select all

slaac private
in the configuration, the hw-based address is back now.
