Hi folks,

i am a real newbie in the ipv6 world, and i wanted to equip my rootserver with ipv6 so i can use a ipv4/ipv6 mixed playground VE.

I am using Ubuntu "Hardy" with the following Kernel: 2.6.24-19-openvz


In the HN (hardware node, hostname august) everything works fine:


root@august:~# ping6 ipv6.google.com
PING ipv6.google.com(fx-in-x68.google.com) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from fx-in-x68.google.com: icmp_seq=1 ttl=58 time=30.0 ms

Now, i have ipv6 forwarding active:

root@august:~# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding
1



So i create a new VE with id 504 giving it the IPv6 address 2001:470:1f13:113::2, which is whithin my routed /64 subnet The VE is called "ipv6".

From within the virtual machine i see the following:


lo        Link encap:Local Loopback 
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

          RX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:416 (416.0 B)  TX bytes:416 (416.0 B)

sit0      Link encap:IPv6-in-IPv4 
          NOARP  MTU:1480  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

venet0    Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  P-t-P:127.0.0.1  Bcast:0.0.0.0  Mask:255.255.255.255
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          inet6 addr: 2001:470:1f13:113::2/128 Scope:Global
          UP BROADCAST POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)


...and i can ping6 my own ipv6 address from within the virtual machine:


root@ipv6 / $ ping6 2001:470:1f13:113::2   
PING 2001:470:1f13:113::2(2001:470:1f13:113::2) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 2001:470:1f13:113::2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.035 ms
64 bytes from 2001:470:1f13:113::2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.040 ms


But i CAN NOT ping ANY other ipv6 address such as for example my hn:

root@ipv6 / $ ping6 2001:470:1f12:113::2
connect: Network is unreachable


Checking the routing from whithin the VE shows me that this is true as NO route except a "host route" to the own address is set:


root@ipv6 / $ route -6n

::1/128                        ::                         Un   0   1     0 lo
2001:470:1f13:113::2/128       ::                         Un   0   1    10 lo
ff00::/8                       ::                         U    256 0     0 venet0
::/0                           ::                         !n   -1  1  2245 lo


Now i do not know this openvz style venet stuff so good to know what route to set. A default route is what i would need, but which nexthop? There is none reachable....

Any ideas how to do that?


Thanks in advance

Hello
I looked at your routing table from the guest and it looks like youre default route is set to lo (loop back) try changing it to venet0 then you will have more luck? bleace report back on youre progress

broquea

definitely need an entry like:

::/0                                        ::                                      U     1      0        0 venet0
