Hi,
I think I found a bug. Perhaps someone could verify this:
switch: H3C S5500-EI (HP A5500-EI)
firmware: Software Version 5.20 Release 2210
setup: stateful DHCPv6 relay
DHCPv6 server: Windows 2008 R2
vlan 1234
ipv6 dhcp snooping vlan enable
interface Vlan-interface1234
ipv6 nd ra prefix 2001:1234:300:100::/64 360 300 no-autoconfig off-link
undo ipv6 nd ra halt
ipv6 nd autoconfig managed-address-flag
ipv6 nd autoconfig other-flag
ipv6 address 2001:1234:300:100::BA/64
ipv6 dhcp relay server-address 2001:1234:300:20::100
So, Windows 7 gets the IPv6 address:
IPv6 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 2001:1234:300:100::925f(Preferred)
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : fe80::4201:c6ee:fe80:2501%11
First, I cannot "ping -6" anything.
Then I "ping -6 fe80::4201:c6ee:fe80:2501:2501", so the link local address of the switch.
After that I can "ping -6" everything.
Without pinging the link local address first, I cannot ping anything else?
Strange? For sure. So, is it a bug? (Windows 7 has its default settings: netsh interface ipv6 reset)
==========================================================
Next test:
Let´s do an ipconfig /release6 and ipconfig /renew6 afterwards. Do an "ipv6 dhcp snooping user-binding dynamic" on the switch and reconnect.
result: ping -6 works without pinging the link local address of the switch, first.
==========================================================
Next test:
- Take another laptop and connect it
- laptop gets IPv6 address
- "ping -6" something fails
- "ping -6" the link local address works.
- "ping -6" something else fails???
Now I´m confused...
Perhaps an issue with Windows 7?
