Have no idea what’s going on with my network

[i-ofthetiger]

Hi guys.

firstly can anyone make head or tail of what is going on with ipv4 and ipv6 and explain it to me in the most basic way. I’m not a Cisco user but I have a problem and need some advice.

Below I’ve posted a summary of what’s happening inside my network at the moment. I just want a lamens term explanation of what is going on.

also can you tell me from this if I am on a static IP or dynamic IP

Sorry it’s a bit vague but I just don’t know what’s going on.

I think it’s a result of Linux commands.

not sure though.

I don't know exactly what you are asking for, but let me summarize what I see.

interfaces dummy0 sit 0 (tunnel), p2p0 (point to point) are not in use and can be ignored.

lo is the loopback, and those addresses are standard and correct.

rmnet_usb0 is packet-over USB. It's not in use.

wlan0 is your wireless. The IPv6 addresses are:
fdaa:*:e3c3 - This is a Unique Local Address (ULA), generated by the device for itself, using the same host address as the global privacy address.
2a00:*:e3c3 - This is a dynamically assigned global privacy address, which changes from time to time to preserve privacy.

2a00:*:f74 - This is a self-generated IPv6 address based on the MAC address. You will answer on that address, but generally not send on it since it shows your identity.

fdaa:*:f74 - This is the corresponding ULA for the IPv6 address based on the MAC address.

The 2a00 (global) addresses are assigned when a router announces the network number to the hosts.

The ULA addresses are generated even if there is no global address learned from the router.

The fe80:*:f74 address is a Link-Local address, used to communicate between devices on the same LAN that don't need to be routed.

The rmnet/rev_rmnet interfaces are cellular network interfaces. I'm guessing this is an Android phone.

The next-hop router in the Wi-Fi is fe80::42c7:29ff:fe17:7c25. Looks like all outbound IPv6 traffic is heading that way.

What more do you want to know?
