ipv6 tests - created tunnel now what?

[SE1]

Hi,

I am newbie just created an ipv6 tunnel from a PC using HE,  would like to know some tests that I can do ?

Need some guidance with what needs to be done next?

Can I create a small LAN environment of IPv6 address and send it out via the tunnel.

You can go through the HE certification program http://ipv6.he.net/certification/

Can I create a small LAN environment of IPv6 address and send it out via the tunnel.

Sure.  You can use the routed /64 on your info page to do this, or if you have more than one subnet, you can request a /48 and assign different /64's to your different subnets

Thanks. I created the tunnel and reached the explorer level.

Need to complete the next levels.

how to see my tunnel information ?

[cholzhauer]

Log in to http://tunnelbroker.net then click on the name of your tunnel

Thanks, I am running Ubuntu on a VM on the windows machine which is connected to the tunnel, how do i configure the ubuntu on the virtual box for ipv6 traffic through the tunnel.

It depends on how you're doing the virtual stuff.  If you're using bridged networking, it'll just work.  (If you're using RA it'll pick up an address and if you're manually assigning addresses, you just have to assign an address)

[SE1]

I am using a bridged connection, I have set the default gw on my virtual machine to the windows machine which is the tunnel endpoint, but i am unable to get to the internet from the VM.

[cholzhauer]

What is the tunnel endpoint set to?  (like the actual address)

You should have the ::2 address on your tunnel adapter.  You also need to put an address on the internal side of your windows machine...take an IP out of your routed /64 or use a /64 from your /48 and assign an address to your local area connection.  The IP on the "local area connection adapter" needs to be in the same subnet as eth0 on your Ubuntu VM

Tunnel Details:
Server IPv4 Address:64.62.134.130
Server IPv6 Address:2001:470:66:47::1/64
Client IPv4 Address:138.111.56.12
Client IPv6 Address:2001:470:66:47::2/64

I have assigned 2001:470:66:47::3/64 to my bridged LAN with defualt GW as 2001:470:66:47::1

For the Ubuntu VM, i have created a bridge. See attached the ubuntu address assigned.

Somewhere there's another range of IPv6 addresses you didn't see

For example, my info shows

Code Select Expand


Server IPv4 Address:209.51.161.14
Server IPv6 Address:2001:470:1f06:141a::1/64
Client IPv4 Address:72.241.35.194
Client IPv6 Address:2001:470:1f06:141a::2/64
Available DNS Resolvers
Anycasted IPv6 Caching Nameserver:2001:470:20::2
Anycasted IPv4 Caching Nameserver:74.82.42.42
Routed IPv6 Prefixes
Routed /64:2001:470:1f07:141a::/64


The last line says "routed /64"...you'll need to assign IP addresses out of that...you only use ::1 and ::2 out of the  2001:470:66:47::/64 range

Thanks.

I have assigned the Bridged LAN :
Ip address:  2001:470:67:47::3

What addresses do i assign to the ubuntu VM it is bridged, but can't get to the internet from the VM.

[cholzhauer]

You can easing the next address... 2001:470:67:47::4.

Your gateway is then the ::3 address of the windows vm

[SE1]

I have configured the ipv6 addresses as shown in the attachment,

However, I am still not able to get to the internet from the VM.

[cholzhauer]

Unless i'm missing something, I don't see a 2001 address on there
