Does anybody have anything neat to keep logs of what host gets what ipv6 address in an SLAAC environment?
You'd have to correlate ND information in the router to some kind of record of who has what MAC address at any given time. With SLAAC the host doesn't "get" an IPv6 address, it "takes" one.
This is often required for legislation compliance. DHCP does this well.
Which is one of the reasons why some of us want DHCPv6 support in hosts.
So how does DHCP prevent a host from just taking or hijacking an IP address? Antonio Querubin e-mail/xmpp: tony@lava.net
