Re: [ipv6calc] mac -> ipv6 conversion with ipv6calc

Hi Peter,

I am trying to convert MAC address to link-local address using ipv6calc but it does not seem to be allowed/supported:

$ ~/bin/ipv6calc --in mac 0:9:3d:14:14:f3 --out ipv6addr No valid IPv6 address given!

would it be possible to convert MAC to link-local in this case ? Of course, I can convert to EUI64 and then to link-local but I'd like it to be done in single step.

Hmm, in principle, this can be implemented, but this must be proper implemented e.g. by giving a prefix. Will take a look how difficult this would be, perhaps in upcoming 0.94.0 release (work in progress since longer time) this will be implemented. Regards, Peter
