except for nor using it at all, of course.
So I want to make my homelab IPv6 ready, because I have too much free time, i guess. There are two decisions that I’m currently unsure about:
- ULA or not. Do you have local only addresses or do your clients communicate using the global IPv6 address? Does not using ULAs work without a static IP from the ISP?
- DHCPv6 or is SLAAC enough?
For each question both options seem to be possible and I’m interested in your experience
Cheers
I mean, you can get rid of NAT and subnet your systems in a logical fashion. That’s pretty awesome.
Yes, maybe, but do I want to do that? Everything’s going perfectly right now.
You can subnet logically with IPv4.
If you go IPv6 on the internal network you ‘win’ not having NAT, and exposing all your intrrnal services to the net (which… just why?), but lose the ability to do redundant ISPs/failover/loadbalancing, policy based routing, VPNs… Unless you do IPv6 address translation. Which puts you back to “IPv4+NAT, except more complicated.”
IPv6 inside the firewall is more or less entirely pointless.
