 hexa | and try to delegate that to the LAN interface | 00:10:37 |
| hexa | which means it puts a /64 subnet onto your LAN interface | 00:11:02 |
| hexa | when that is in place, all you need is | 00:11:17 |
| hexa | networkConfig.IPv6SendRA = true;
| 00:11:23 |
| hexa | on the LAN side to send router advertisements | 00:11:34 |
 Charles | i see | 00:12:06 |
| hexa | this all hinges on your ISP actually delegating you a prefix | 00:12:09 |
| Charles | why | 00:12:15 |
| Charles | right | 00:12:18 |
| hexa | because with autoconfig there is algorithm to generate a collision free host suffix | 00:12:42 |
| hexa | * because with autoconfig there is an algorithm to generate a collision free host suffix | 00:12:49 |
| hexa | and it requires 64 bits on the host side | 00:12:59 |
| hexa | * because with autoconfig there is an algorithm (EUI-64) to generate a collision free host suffix | 00:13:39 |
| hexa | * and that requires 64 bits on the host side | 00:13:48 |
| hexa | and router advertisements basically send the prefix side and tell the client it can pick an address inside that prefix | 00:14:08 |

| Charles | i see | 00:16:30 |
| Charles | well, i guess i don't get why that has to be for each lan interface, why can't the bridge interface have 1 /64 and be sufficient | 00:17:45 |
| hexa | because a unique route should go in one direction | 00:18:27 |
| hexa | * because a unique route should go onto one dedicated interface | 00:18:38 |
| hexa | * because a route should go onto one dedicated interface | 00:18:42 |
| hexa | if you only have one LAN interface it doesn't matter | 00:18:54 |
| hexa | but once you have multiple you'll see that each gets its own /64 | 00:19:14 |
| hexa | multiple LAN interfaces may make sense if you intend to separate them for any reason | 00:19:40 |
| hexa | iot/things, guests, wlan/lan, management, you name it | 00:20:04 |
| Charles | hmm to be clear i think i just want a single "network", at least right now, my router has 4 physical ports, one is wan and 3 are bridged as lan, shouldn't one /64 be sufficient for that? | 00:21:10 |
| hexa | yeah | 00:21:28 |
| hexa | once you don't bridge and use the ports individually, or you start using vlans, that'll change | 00:21:50 |
| hexa | also, your isp may be shit (it probably is) and only give you another /64 😄 | 00:22:54 |
