Title: IPv6 on DD-WRT
Post by: docbill on January 28, 2011, 02:55:52 PM
After trying every single tip I could find on the net, I finally managed to get IPV6 working.   Unlike other approaches, I decided to do my scripting in such a way I could easily toggle back and forth from the tunnel broker and just IPV6 to IPV4 tunnel.  I did this since it gives me a good way to tell the difference between a tunnel problem, and generic IPV6 intranet problem.

First the main script.  This is a re-factorization of other scripts I've seen on the net.  Install as /jffs/updateipv4.sh:

#!/bin/sh -x
#SAMPLE USERID="29812e32f424324324234"
USERID="<insert value here>"
#SAMPLE PASSWORD="CatsAndDogs"
PASSWORD="<insert value here>"
#SAMPLE TUNNEL_ID="96782"
TUNNEL_ID="<insert value here>"
#SAMPLE CLIENT_IPV6_ADDRESS="2001:271:18:2c7::2/64"
CLIENT_IPV6_ADDRESS="<insert value here>"
#SAMPLE SERVER_IPV4_ADDRESS="218.65.27.48"
SERVER_IPV4_ADDRESS="<insert value here>"
echo >> /tmp/wanip
WANIP_OLD=`cat /tmp/wanip`
WANIP=$(ip -4 addr show dev vlan2 | grep 'inet ' | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d/ -f
if [ -n "$WANIP" ]
then
   if [ "$WANIP" != "$WANIP_OLD" ]
   then
       echo "External IP: $WANIP" 1>&2
       ROUTED_ADDRESS=`sed -n -e 's,^ *prefix *\([^ ]*\) *{,\1,p' /tmp/radvd.co
       if [ $ROUTED_ADDRESS = "0:0:0:1::/64" ]
       then
           CLIENT_IPV6_ADDRESS=""
       fi
       ip tunnel del tun6to4 2>>/dev/null
       ip tunnel del he-ipv6 2>>/dev/null
       if [ -n "$CLIENT_IPV6_ADDRESS" ]
       then
           echo "Configure he-ipv6 tunnel" 1>&2

           /usr/bin/wget 'http://ipv4.tunnelbroker.net/ipv4_end.php?ipv4b='AUTO
           ip tunnel add he-ipv6 mode sit ttl 255 remote $SERVER_IPV4_ADDRESS l
           ip link set he-ipv6 up                                              
           ip addr add $CLIENT_IPV6_ADDRESS dev he-ipv6                        
           ip route add ::/0 dev he-ipv6                                      
                                                                               
           BR0_MAC=$(ifconfig br0 |sed -n -e 's,.*HWaddr \(..\):\(..\):\(..\):\
           # These commands aren't on HE's website, but they're necessary for t
           ip -6 addr add $(echo "$ROUTED_ADDRESS"|sed "s,::/..,::$BR0_MAC/64,"
           ip -6 route add 2000::/3 dev he-ipv6                                
       else                                                                    
           echo "Configure tun6to4 tunnel" 1>&2                                
           V6PREFIX=$(printf '2002:%02x%02x:%02x%02x' $(echo $WANIP | tr . ' ')
           ip tunnel add tun6to4 mode sit ttl 255 remote any local $WANIP      
           ip link set tun6to4 mtu 1480                                        
           ip link set tun6to4 up                                              
           ip -6 addr add $V6PREFIX:0::1/16 dev tun6to4                        
           ip -6 addr add $V6PREFIX:1::1/64 dev br0                            
           ip -6 route add 2000::/3 via ::192.88.99.1 dev tun6to4              
       fi                                                                      
       echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding                        
   fi                                                                          
fi                                                                              

Be sure to run 'chmod ugo+rx /jffs/updateipv4.sh'.


Next the startup script.   Set this in your startup under Administration->Commands->Startup:

#Enable IPV6
insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/ipv6/sit.ko
sleep 5
radvd -C /tmp/radvd.conf start
sleep 5
rm -f /tmp/wanip
/jffs/updateipv6.sh 2> /jffs/startup.debug
kill -HUP $(cat /var/run/radvd.pid)
sleep 10
echo "starting radvd" >> /jffs/startup.debug
radvd -C /jffs/radvd.conf start &


Finally, Radv5 config.  Set this under Administration->Management->IPV6 Support->Radvd config:

interface br0 {
MinRtrAdvInterval 3;
MaxRtrAdvInterval 10;
AdvLinkMTU 1480;
AdvSendAdvert on;
prefix <insert value here> {
AdvOnLink on;
AdvAutonomous on;
AdvValidLifetime 86400;
AdvPreferredLifetime 86400;
# Base6to4Interface vlan2;
};
};

The prefix value should be your Route 64 address.  e.g. 2001:270:1c:1d8::/64

If instead you wish to use an IPV6 to IPV4 bridge instead use an address of 0:0:0:1::/64 and uncomment the Base6to4Interface line like the following:

interface br0 {
MinRtrAdvInterval 3;
MaxRtrAdvInterval 10;
AdvLinkMTU 1480;
AdvSendAdvert on;
prefix 0:0:0:1::/64 {
AdvOnLink on;
AdvAutonomous on;
AdvValidLifetime 86400;
AdvPreferredLifetime 86400;
Base6to4Interface vlan2;
};
};

Walla.  Once everything is saved you are ready to reboot your router.   If things don't work try running the updateipv6.sh script interactively.   Note: I've designed the updateipv6.sh script so it can be rerun regularly to pickup a new wan ip address.   So if the wanip is the same as the last time it ran, it does nothing.   If you want to force it to run anyway (for debugging purposes), the simply remove the /tmp/wanip file first.  e.g.

$ rm /tmp/wanip;/jffs/updateipv6.sh

I've done all this by my tunnel to HE keeps dropping with a period of inactivity (under 1 min). If I keep a ICMPv6 ping going to the server it keeps the tunnel open. Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi is there a chance you can post the full updateipv4.sh script?  It's cut off on column 80 and seems to be broken, at least for me.

Here is the full script, not cropped at 80 cols.  Also, based on the commands in the startup script, this should actually be called updateipv6.sh, not updateipv4.sh

What version and build of DD-WRT are you using? I tried your setup, and it doesn't work for me either. I suspect you may have an older build.

I also noticed you don't seem to have any firewall entries???

EDIT: I should add that I tried it using v24 sp2 NOKAID newd, build 16403.

I have same problem.
Tunnel works for some minutes and then when idle it stops working.
Using v24 sp2 NOKAID 16403 on WRT54GL
