Title: IPV6 for local network?
Post by: bianet on July 06, 2010, 09:52:43 AM
Hello!

I am newbie with ipv6 and route2. I have HE tunnel to my ipv4 network and I want to use ipv6 address on any pc/server. Can I use this He's tunnel with /64 to route more IPv6 from the same /64 network? Can anybody show me example config for client's IP config? Tunnel work perfect and from the gateway I see IPv6 sites.

Thanks,
Gustav

Yep, you can assign IP's out of the routed /64 to hosts on your network.

You really don't need any config on the clients...how were you planning on assigning addresses?  Router Advertisement? Static? DHCPv6?

Thank you for the fast answer!
May be both static and DHCP. I looking for statis example at this time.

Best regards,
Gustav

Static is harder ;)

What OS are you looking to use?

Yes I was read this and is helpfull document, but I make any mistake.
This is my config from the site for the gw:

modprobe ipv6
ip tunnel add he-ipv6 mode sit remote 216.66.80.30 local 84.252.55.6 ttl 255
ip link set he-ipv6 up
ip addr add 2001:470:1f0a:152c::2/64 dev he-ipv6
ip route add ::/0 dev he-ipv6
ip -f inet6 addr


And I add this line to route via eth0:
ip addr add 2001:470:1f0a:152c::2/64 dev eth0

On other computer setup is:
ip -6 addr add 2001:470:1f0a:152c::3/64 dev eth0
optional default route is:    # I can ping from client the gw witout this default gw route
ip -6 route add ::/0 via 2001:470:1f0a:152c::2

from client pc can do ping6 2001:470:1f0a:152c::2 whithout -I eth0
from the gw I can do ping6 -I eth0 2001:470:1f0a:152c::3 only with -I eth0

May be here is the problem, but I can not see where?!

when the default route is setuped on client pc can not route external addresses like ipv6.google.com or www.kame.net

Best Regards,
Gustav

Can you post the output of "ifconfig" and "netstat -nr" ?

Oh, I just saw this

That IP address is incorrect...for eth0, you have to assign an address out of the routed /64 assigned to you by HE

Same goes for this

That ::3 address won't work; you'll need to assign an address out of the routed /64 assigned to you by HE
