Package: wide-dhcpv6-client
Version: 20080615-21
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch, ipv6
Please find attached a patch that adds a new feature to
wide-dhcpv6-client, namely an option ("ifid-random") in the
prefix-interface section of dhcp6c.conf to generate a random interface
id on startup. This is useful if you wish to have the final 64 bits of
your IPv6 address change from time to time - a sort of very rough
equivalent of IPv6 Privacy Extensions. If you do not add "ifid-random"
to the config file, then nothing about the client's current behaviour
changes.
Note that if your prefix-interface section has both the current "ifid
X" option (where X is whatever number you want to manually assign as
your interface id) and the new "ifid-random" option, then the
interface id is randomized and "ifid X" is ignored.
Thanks,
Christopher Martin
