Re: [OT] IPv6 addresses collisions



My question is if it's possible to configure machines with stateless
autoconfiguration and servers with manual configuration (for example,
prefix::1 or prefix::24). Sould i mix this mechanism? Could i have collisions
of adresses between stateless autoconfiguration and manual configuration of
IPv6 addresses?

yes, you can do it with some "safety"... Stateless configuration is
based on the MAC address of network card plus the Router/prefix
announce made by the router. As long you dont have a strange MAC like
00:00:00:00:00:01 you should be fine. Take a look of how the MAC is
used and you will understand.
