Hi ppl,
Could anyone please clarify the following statement in the IKEv2 RFC 5996:
****** The Configuration payloads for IPv6 are based on the corresponding
IPv4 payloads, and do not fully follow the "normal IPv6 way of doing
things".
In particular, IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration or router
advertisement messages are not used, neither is neighbor discovery.******
Does it mean that we should not do Router-Solicitation/Router-Advertisement
messages over the established IPSEC-SA also for Stateless AutoConf?
Even though the IPV6 address is assigned using IKEv2 Configuration Payload,
what stops the node from doing the Stateless AutoConf using
Router Solicitation/Advertisement messages sent over the IPSEC tunnel by
making sure that the same Prefix assigned during IKE-AUTH exchange
is communicated in the Router-Advertisement also?
Because i believe this makes us compliant to IPV6 way of configuring the
ip-address even though IKEv2 is used.
Please clarify.
Thanks,
...Balaji.J
