DHCPv6 Client sending ICMP redirect message

[Sujata Verma]

Hi,

This is my setup

Linux Fedora core 16 DHCP Client 4.2.4-P2-----Ethernet---Linux Fedora core 16 DHCP Server 4.2.4-P2


The DHCPv6 client is sending Solicit message, the DHCP server is replying with Advertise message, but the client is not replying with "REPLY" instead it sends ICMPv6 rediret message to server, and server responds with ICMP destination unreachable message. After this process the client again sends the Solicit message,and the process gets repeated, the client doesnt get the ip address.


The same ISC DHCP server if i connect with Windows 2008 as DHCP client, it is accepting the ip address and is working fine.

Below is config file for server with subnet declaration, other are default value from sample file:

=======================

subnet6 2001:db8:1:0::/64 {
        range6 2001:db8:1:0::7:8 2001:db8:1:0::7:254;

        range6 2001:db8:1:0:: temporary;


        prefix6 2001:db8:1:0:: 2001:db8:1:0:: /64;

       option dhcp6.name-servers 2001:db8:1::9:9, 2001:db8:1::9:8;

        
}

==============================

starting the server with:

dhcpd -6 -d -cf /etc/dhcp/dhcpd6.conf


The client file is at /etc/dhcp/dhclient6.conf, created manually with following option:

==================

script "/sbin/dhclient-script";

interface "em1" {

                 request dhcp6.name-servers;
}

==================

the "em1" is the Ethernet interface present on client.

the client is started by using following command:


/sbin/dhclient -d -6 -sf /sbin/dhclient-script  -cf /etc/dhcp/dhclient6.conf 


The iptables, ip6tables and SELinux are disabled on both the machine.

The wireshark capture for the message exchange are attached for reference, please let me know, what could be the issue ?

thanks for any comments or  help.

Regards,
Sujata
