IPv6 Routing With 2 Different Prefixes
Hello
I’ve got two prefixes, one /48 and one /64
let’s say these two
2001:db8:0815::/48
2001:db8:4711:cafe::/64
the router has on it’s ethernet interface the following to IPv6 addresses:
2001:db8:0815::1/48
2001:db8:4711:cafe::1/64
a windows box has
2001:db8:0815::17/48
and
2001:db8:0815::1
as it’s gateway
a linux box has
2001:db8:4711:cafe::11/64
and
2001:db8:4711:cafe::1
as it’s gateway
why can only the router do ping6 2001:db8:0815::17
and not the linux box?
is there a missing IPv6 route?
Thanks, Walter

It’s not uncommon for systems to not route packets back out the interface where they were received. What kind of router is this?
It is a CentOS 6 box
