IPv6 DAD is performed incorrectly when two devices share the same mac address

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Duplicate Address Detection is performed incorrectly when two devices share the same mac address (and correspondingly the same EUI-64 identifer).

  • Correct behavior would be to shut down all IP operation so there is no duplicates.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
