| IPv6 Address Conversion
|
- You will need to convert your local IPv4 address into equivalent IPv6 addresses
- IPv4 to IPv6 address conversion scripts
- printf '% 02x % 02x:% 02x % 02x' $(echo IPv4 | tr . ' ')
- 2001:/32 == point-to-point address
- 2002:/8 == 6-to-4 address
- fe80::xxxx:xxff:fexx:xxxx/64 == MAC/eu64 address
- ::ffff:w.x.y.z/96 == dot-quad address

| Simple 2-node Local IPv6 lan test
|
- Example addresses as shipped in gigEnn-T3 ..
- names are arbitrary, as are the IPv4 addresses
- ClientIPv4 == 192.168.241.17
- ServerIPv4 == 192.168.242.27
- The corresponding point-to-point IPv6 address are
- ClientIPv6 == 2001:c0a8:f111::5
- ServerIPv6 == 2001:c0a8:f21ba::5
- As always, add the (fqdn) hostnames to /etc/hosts if you want to use hostname vs ip#
- for a quick and simple IPv6 test,
it's probably NOT worth the extra effort to build an IPv6 DNS server
- You will NEED to Create an IPv6 tunnel
- You will need to change the order ( direction ) of the point-to-point tunnel on each end
- IPv6-Cloud.org Distro specific Howto
- ClientIPv4# ifconfig gif2 create
- ClientIPv4# ifconfig gif2 tunnel 192.168.241.17 192.168.242.27
- ClientIPv4# ifconfig gif2 inet6 2001:c0a8:f111::5 2001:c0a8:f21ba::5 prefixlen 128
- ClientIPv4# route add -inet6 default 2001:c0a8:f21ba::5
- ServerIPv4# ifconfig gif2 create
- ServerIPv4# ifconfig gif2 tunnel 192.168.242.27 192.168.241.17
- ServerIPv4# ifconfig gif2 inet6 2001:c0a8:f21ba::5 2001:c0a8:f111::5 prefixlen 128
- ServerIPv4# route add -inet6 default 2001:c0a8:f111::5
- To remove the tunnel and its IPv6 default route
- You will NEED to fix your IPv6 firewall
- ClientIPv4# vi /etc/rc.firewall6
make sure you have "allow" rules for 192.168.241.17 and 192.168.242.27
- ClientIPv4# /etc/rc.d/ip6fw restart
- ClientIPv4# ip6fw list
- ServerIPv4# vi /etc/rc.firewall6
make sure you have "allow" rules for 192.168.241.17 and 192.168.242.27
- ServerIPv4# /etc/rc.d/ip6fw restart
- ServerIPv4# ip6fw list
- Simplified ping test on the other end of the tunnel
- Make sure IPv4 ping tests works ..
- ClientIPv4# ping ServerIPv4
- ServerIPv4# ping ClientIPv4
- IPv6 ping6 tests should also work .. out of the (wansim) box
- ClientIPv6# ping6 ServerIPv6
- ServerIPv6# ping6 ClientIPv6
- Insert some RTT delays
- you should see the ping/ping6 rtt delays for both IPv6 and IPv6
- gigEnn -rtt 5
- gigEnn -rtt 56
- gigEnn -rtt 567
