RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Harald Jensås 2019-09-30 23:42:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
When trying to use ICS dhcrelay (or dnsmasq itself) to relay DHCPv6 info-req to a dnsmasq DHCP server the relay-fwd packages are ignored by dnsmasq.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnsmasq-2.76-9.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install DHCP server with ipv6 address on eth1, and below dnsmasq.conf

[root@pxe-server ~]# ip6tables -F  # Drop the firewall, alternative open udp ports 546 and 547.

[root@pxe-server ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 
DEVICE=eth1
NAME=eth1
TYPE=Ethernet
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
HOTPLUG=no
PEERDNS=no
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no
IPV6ADDR=fd12:3456:789a:1::1/64

[root@pxe-server ~]# cat /etc/dnsmasq.conf 
port=0
interface=eth1

dhcp-range=set:ctlplane-subnet,fd12:3456:789a:1::aaaa,fd12:3456:789a:1::ffff,64,10m
dhcp-range=set:ctlplane-subnet2,fd12:3456:789a:2::aaaa,fd12:3456:789a:2::ffff,64,10m
# dhcp-option=tag:ctlplane-subnet,option6:3,[fd12:3456:789a:1::fffe]
dhcp-match=set:ipv6,option6:1
dhcp-userclass=set:ipxe6,iPXE
dhcp-option=tag:ipxe6,option6:bootfile-url,http://[fd12:3456:789a:1::1]:8000/inspector.ipxe
dhcp-option=tag:ipv6,option6:bootfile-url,tftp://[fd12:3456:789a:1::1]/ipxe.efi
dhcp-sequential-ip

2. Install radvd and dhcrelay node with ipv6 on eth1 and eth2. eth1 is on same L2 segment as eth1 on the dhcp server.

[root@dhcp6-relay ~]# ip6tables -F  # Drop the firewall, alternative open udp ports 546 and 547.

[root@dhcp6-relay ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 
DEVICE=eth1
NAME=eth1
TYPE=Ethernet
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
HOTPLUG=no
PEERDNS=no
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no
IPV6ADDR=fd12:3456:789a:1::2/64

[root@dhcp6-relay ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2
DEVICE=eth2
NAME=eth2
TYPE=Ethernet
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
HOTPLUG=no
PEERDNS=no
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no
IPV6ADDR=fd12:3456:789a:2::1/64

[root@dhcp6-relay ~]# cat /etc/radvd.conf 
interface eth1 {
  AdvSendAdvert on;
  AdvRASolicitedUnicast on;
  AdvManagedFlag off;
  AdvOtherConfigFlag on;
  prefix fd12:3456:789a:1::/64 {
  };
};

interface eth2 {
  AdvSendAdvert on;
  AdvRASolicitedUnicast on;
  AdvManagedFlag off;
  AdvOtherConfigFlag on;
  prefix fd12:3456:789a:2::/64 {
  };
};

[root@dhcp6-relay ~]# sysctl net.ipv6.conf.eth1.forwarding=1
[root@dhcp6-relay ~]# sysctl net.ipv6.conf.eth2.forwarding=1

[root@dhcp6-relay ~]# systemctl restart radvd

2.1. Start the DHCPv6 relay ...

[root@dhcp6-relay ~]#  dhcrelay -6 -d --no-pid -u eth1 -l eth2
