Great. Can you share the log line here or via PM? I don't have a setup obviously. Just for double-checking.


Thanks,

@franco If you need a DHCPv6 server which offers this option for testing, you can simply use OPNsense's ISC DHCPv6 server with a custom config:

echo "option dhcp6.aftr-name test.aftr.example.com;" > /usr/local/etc/dhcpd6.opnsense.d/aftr.conf
I've done this before and it works just fine.

Ok, I hadn't thought of that.  That will make testing via VM client easy.  :)

I mostly test against the Fritzbox these days.  Still pondering how to build an effective test suite around dhcp6c in the codebase itself to emulate such things, perhaps with packet captures.


Thanks,

As upstream routers for testing, I mostly use OPNsense VMs (radvd, ISC DHCPv6 etc.) as well as MikroTik RouterOS VMs (they have free VM images for testing and offer some features which OPNsense doesn't have, like a PPPoE server).
