Hi, everyone.

With Broquea's help, I think it is from the e-mail... :p I've been working on getting the tunnel to work.

The config of the server:
OS: CentOS 5.5 with cPanel installed.
iptables: yes

I did the following:

ifconfig sit0 up
ifconfig sit0 inet6 tunnel ::66.220.18.42
ifconfig sit1 up
ifconfig sit1 inet6 add 2001:470:c:67f::2/64
route -A inet6 add ::/0 dev sit1

then with Broquea's help, I did the following:


iptables -A INPUT -p 41 -i eth0 -j ACCEPT

iptables -A INPUT -p 41 -i sit0 -j ACCEPT

iptables -A INPUT -p 41 -i sit1 -j ACCEPT

So here's the following ifconfig output:

And I tried running tcpdump, but I was a little overwhelmed by the dump going by so fast because this server receives a LOT of traffic.

So I'll ask for others' eyes on this, as I need to ensure I'm getting this right, haha. If you guys need further info, please let me know.

[cholzhauer]

OK, so what problem(s) are you having?

[Keiro]

Basically, I'm having trouble checking to see if the ipv6to4 tunnel is working.

I know a tcpdump would be the preferred option, but I'd like to confirm from the outside whether it actually works or not.

Basically, what I'm trying to do is to verify that the tunnel is in fact working and can receive/send ipv6 to 4 traffic.

[cholzhauer]

Gotcha

I tried pinging your side of the tunnel, but didn't work

Code: [Select]


mars# ping6 2001:470:c:67f::2
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 2001:470:c27d:e000:20c:29ff:fe8a:1618 --> 2001:470:c:67f::2
^C
--- 2001:470:c:67f::2 ping6 statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss


I saw you're using IPTables (I'm not familiar with it, so forgive me for being dumb) but if you're not blocking ICMP, I can't get through

[Keiro]

Yes, I'm using IPTables.

And yes, I'm blocking ICMP. Anyone that traceroutes to the server tends to get blocked, though I'm considering unblocking ICMP. I'm checking the firewall and making an edit to allow traceroutes.

Edit: Should be allowed now, I think.

[cholzhauer]

No, still doesn't work

We won't get into the IMCP blocking debate.

What service can we test if you're blocking ICMP?

[snarked]

Please note that HE tunnels are "6in4", not "6to4".  6to4 are assigned from 2002::/16.

[Keiro]

No, still doesn't work

We won't get into the IMCP blocking debate.

What service can we test if you're blocking ICMP?

You can test HTTPD, as I know for certain anyone can reach it... I know that one's reachable, heh. I'm not entirely sure yet, as I've been figuring out how all of this works, as this isn't like ipv4. As for the site, it'd be shatteredtears.com

Snarked: Ah, thanks for the correction.

I'll be contacting CSF/cPanel shortly for further help on ipv6in4.

[cholzhauer]

Code: [Select]

[carl@mars ~]$ host shatteredtears.com
shatteredtears.com has address 69.61.68.10
shatteredtears.com mail is handled by 0 mail6.zoneedit.com.
shatteredtears.com mail is handled by 0 mail7.zoneedit.com.

Nope, that site isn't IPv6 capable.

[Keiro]

Hm. Alright. I'll disable the server's IPTables for the moment and take it out of the equation and see what happens.

Thanks for helping me out so far!

[cholzhauer]

Hm. Alright. I'll disable the server's IPTables for the moment and take it out of the equation and see what happens.

That won't work for this.  You'll need to edit the DNS entry if you want the site to be associated with an IPv6 address

[Keiro]

Alright, I'm going to try assigning an IPv6 address to the site. >_>

I'm kinda fighting this one.

I assigned the IP: 2001:470:c:67f::2 to shatteredtears.com

but it doesn't seem to have taken, so I think it's something else at issue here. I'm going to contact my datacenter and see if they can help me out here, as they seem to have a working IPv6 setup on their VPS servers.

[cholzhauer]

ping works to that address

Code: [Select]

But you're right, no DNS entry yet

[Keiro]

Score, something works! IT WORKS! hahahaha

Alright, working on it. I think this requires an AAAA?

[cholzhauer]

Yes, an AAAA record is used for IPv6
