Well houneslty I don't understand the point in general of using EUI-64 addresses as static ones. Aren't they supposed to be automatically generated/assigned when autoconf is enable and there is a router on the net sending router-advertise out? without taking into account that a net card change creates more admin work like updating the dns, firewalls, etc... IMO in this case is really not a good idea.On Sun, Aug 18, 2002 at 12:15:15AM +0200, Andre Grueneberg wrote:Andrius Kasparavicius wrote:I am still confused in EUI-64. Must I use it?
