When I do simple nslookup it does not generate any query for IPV6 (AAAA). But sometimes I see DNS query for both A and AAAA are generated. What decides this? The reason I do not want AAAA query is in most of the cases AAAA records are absent. Hence, if one DNS server fails, the clients keeps... (1 Reply)

Hello all,
I am trying to receive (tcp/udp/sctp) traffic from all IPs and, eventually, all ports of an IPv6 address block using as few sockets as possible short of implementing my own network stack.
One possible solution was to associate an IP block to an interface then bind to that... (6 Replies)

NAME
dibbler-client - a portable DHCPv6 client
DESCRIPTION
dibbler-client is a portable implementation of the DHCPv6 client. It supports both stateful (i.e. IPv6 address granting) and stateless
(i.e. options granting) autoconfiguration. There are ports available for Linux 2.4/2.6 systems as well as MS Windows XP and 2003. They are
freely available under GNU GPL version 2 (or later) license.
SYNOPSIS
dibbler-client [ run | start | stop | status | install | uninstall ]
OPTIONS
run - starts client in the console. Client can be closed using ctrl-c.
start - starts client in daemon mode.
stop - stops running clients.
status - shows status of the client and server.
install - installs client as a service. This is not implemented yet.
uninstall - uninstall client service. This is not implemented yet.
EXAMPLES
Let's start with simple configuration. We want receive one IPv6 address and there is only one Ethernet interface present. In that case
client.conf file might be completly empty. Dibbler client will request for one IPv6 address on each up, running and multicast capable
interface (except loopback).
Now some real example. We want one IPv6 address and receive DNS servers and domain name. We are also not interested in the details, so
debug mode is disabled.
log-mode short
log-level 6
iface eth0
{
ia { }
option dns-server
option domain
}
Next example: we want only NIS domain and NIS server information. That information should be periodicaly renewed, so we use lifetime
option. We don't need any addresses so stateless mode is used.
log-mode short
iface eth0
{
stateless
option nis-server
option nis-domain
option lifetime
}
More examples can be found in the User's Guide.
FILES
All files are created in the /var/lib/dibbler directory. Dibbler client reads /var/lib/dibbler/client.conf file. During operation, Dibbler
saves various file in that directory. After reception of the DNS servers or domain informations, they are added to the /etc/resolv.conf
file. After shutdown, that information is removed from that file. Option values are stored in the option-* files. Log file is named
client.log.
STANDARDS
This implementation aims at conformance to the following standards:
RFC 3315 DHCP for IPv6
RFC 3319 SIP options for DHCPv6
RFC 3646 DNS server options for DHCPv6
RFC 3736 Stateless DHCPv6
RFC 3898 NIS options for DHCPv6
Also options specified in following drafts are implemented:
draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-opt-timeconfig-03.txt NTP and timezone options.
draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-opt-lifetime-00.txt Option renewal.
BUGS
Bugs are tracked with bugzilla, available at http://klub.com.pl/bugzilla/. If you belive you have found a bug, don't hesitate to report it.
AUTHOR
Dibbler was developed as master thesis on the Technical University of Gdansk by Tomasz Mrugalski and Marek Senderski. Currently Marek has
not enough free time, so this project is being developed by Tomasz Mrugalski. Authors can be reached at thomson@klub.com.pl and msend@o2.pl
SEE ALSO
There is dibbler-server(8) manual page. You are also advised to take a look at project website located at http://klub.com.pl/dhcpv6/. As
far as authors know, this is the only Windows DHCPv6 stateful implementation available. It is also one of two freely available under Linux.
The other Linux implementation is available at http://dhcpv6.sourceforge.net, but it is rather outdated and seems not being actively devel-
oped.
