Flood DHCP V6 on esxi
-
I sure and the hell do not recall ever seeing a rarp from pfsense..
I don't think I've ever seen it. As I mentioned it's obsolete and has been for years, replaced by bootp & dhcp.
What's it doing on a modern network? -
Hi All,
First of all, thanks for your help.
I think I have an issue with my esxi server I have started a VM with SUSE and the lan card xas blocked I don't know why…
I have made a new installation of pfsense and I observed the same ICMPv6 request on my lan but I didn't configure any IPV6 service.
Is it normal ? -
Is what normal - yes esxi has ipv6 support.. But it wouldn't be coming from the mac of your VM virtual nic..
Yes suse most likely out of the box would try and configure IPv6.. Did you tell SUSE not to do ipv6?
Pretty much every single current OS on the planet willl use IPv6 - unless you specifically and sometimes quite difficult turn it off.. Windows for example you can even disable it with reg key… But its still there in the core, just doesn't do anything with it.. But if you look you will still see ipv6 loopback, etc.
Same with linux to rip it out of the kernel you would have to compile your own, etc.
