ping6 works, hexaswitch -c status does not

[ChristianKniep]

What am I missing? I can ping6 the hexaplug, but not ask it's status:

root@raspberrypi:~# ping6 -c1 -Iusb0 caca::50:c4ff:fe04:830E
PING caca::50:c4ff:fe04:830E(caca::50:c4ff:fe04:830e) from caca::50:c4ff:fe04:1db usb0: 56 data bytes

*hangs forever*

Do you have an active radvd instance for your devices as described in https://github.com/mysmartgrid/hexabus/wiki/Routing-Hexabus-packets? Also note that query and response packets may be lost, so you might have to try multiple times until you have an answer. We're working on that.

Hey myeisha,

yes I did setup the radvd instance. I used the same prefix as used in the example. As shown above the ping6 came through.

I will try again in the evening.... Thanks

hui... now it works... :) Maybe I screwed it by useing the prefix 'fe80'?
