Hi, experts:
Is it possible that dnsmasq can send out RA with either A=0, MO=1
(i.e. for DHCPv6 Stateful), or AO=1, M=0 (i.e. for DHCPv6 Stateless)
WITHOUT dhcp-range? What I am trying to achieve here is using dnsmasq
to send out RA to trigger DHCPv6 Stateful or DHCPv6 Stateless mode
without acting as DHCPv6 server. Based on my reading, I am under the
impression that “—enable-ra” must be used with “—dhcp-range”.
Otherwise, dnsmasq will not send RA…..
You are right about having to add enable-ra.
However there is a syntax of dhcp-range which will not cause DHCPv6.
As per 'man dnsmasq' (search for 'dhcp-range'), the possible modes for
IPv6 ranges include 'ra-only', which will previsely enable RAs without
enabling any DHCP.
Neither of you are completely right.
enable-ra causes RA with A=0 and M = 1 O = 1 on every interface that's
doing DHCP, just to instruct the clients to do stateful DHCP. It's
intended as a simple option for systems which don't use RA at all.
You don't need to set enable-ra at all to do RA on specific interfaces
with other flag combinations, ie
ra-only A=1 M=0 O=0
slaac A=1 M=1 O=1
ra-stateless A=1 M=0 O=1
Cheers,
Simon.
