Hi,
we use modified dhclient-script and add IPv6 address with:
ip -6 addr add ${new_ip6_address}/${new_ip6_prefixlen} dev ${interface} \
scope global valid_lft ${new_max_life} preferred_lft
${new_preferred_life}
when I configure dhcpv6 server with infinite preferred/valid lifetime, i.e.
preferred-lifetime infinite;
default-lease-time infinite;
then I see that
$new_max_life and $new_preferred_life in dhclient-script are '-1'
(instead of 0xffffffff).
See attached patch for fix.
With regards,
