not able to obtain globally routable IPv6 address

m4rtin

Has anyone seen/heard problems with IPv6 router-advertisements under JUNOS 10.4R9.2? If I check router advertisements for one certain interface ae0.10:

root@m10i> show ipv6 router-advertisement interface ae0.10    
Interface: ae0.10
  Advertisements sent: 4883, last sent 00:03:41 ago
  Solicits received: 14, last received 1w1d 05:21:45 ago
  Advertisements received: 0

root@m10i> 

..then it's clearly visible that almost 5000 advertisements have been sent and last one was sent less than 4min ago. In addition, if I did "ifconfig eth0 down; ifconfig eth0 up" in the server, the server sent "router solicitation messages":

root@m10i> show ipv6 router-advertisement interface ae0.10    
Interface: ae0.10
  Advertisements sent: 4895, last sent 00:02:01 ago
  Solicits received: 20, last received 00:02:04 ago
  Advertisements received: 0

root@m10i> 

Now if I check from the server side using tcpdump, I can see that advertisement was indeed received:

17:34:09.068653 IP6 fe80::219:e200:939e:dff0 > ff02::1: ICMP6, router advertisement, length 56

However, server did not reply anything. ae0.10 has /64 globally routable IPv6 address present. What might cause this?

Just so I understand, you are trying to get an IPv6 address on your server from a router advertisement on your M10?

Can you show the configuration for the ae0.10 interface?
