How to set a static global IPV6 address using esp-idf 5.2.1
Posted: Mon May 20, 2024 8:06 pm
Hi All
The latest ESP FAQ Handbook says: "If it is a global static IP, both IPv6 and IPv4 support manual configuration"
However I've not been able to discover how to successfully achieve this, particularly to establish a WiFi connection with an ESP32 board.
Rather than static the preference is actually to retrieve a global IPv6 address via dhcp6 (via an Ubuntu 22.04 dnsmasq server, served up according to the client's MAC address using the normal dhcp-host method) but it doesn't look like this is possible right now.
Help would be very much appreciated, either a suitable manual reference(s) or example code. Cheers Ron.
