Assigning IPv6 To VM

BardulfBardulf Member
in Help

Hi,
I new to whole IPv6 subnet, I got VM that has /64 IPv6 and I don't know how to assign one of the IPv6 to my vm interface, my vm provider use virtualizor panel for managing vm, I got screen shot of my panel:


Should I add IPv6 to above panel, and then use ip addr add ...:....:....:14a:1:1:1:1/64 dev eth0 or am I wrong? cause when I ping6 google.com, I get connect: Network is unreachable

    Better you contact your VPS provider to assign /64 block IPv6 to your VPS

    You'll need to add it as mentioned, but you may need to add routing information to the VM. Your host should be able to help with this.

    If your VPS comes with IPv6 then I believe it must have already been assigned by your hosting provider.

    Is your OS installed from template or ISO, usually installed from template, it will configured itself. I think that UI is for adding extra IP...

  • webdevwebdev Member

    ubuntu-18-04 also different than debian or ubuntu-16, take a look at this page: https://devanswers.co/configure-ipv6-ubuntu-18-04/

    Run cat /etc/network/interfaces and see the result. For comparison here's result of my two VPS (having IPv6) where one is using DHCP while other static IP.

    #DHCP
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet6 auto

#Static IP
iface eth0 inet6 static
        accept_ra 0
        address 2009:1234:1234:1234:1234:1234:1234:1000
        netmask 109

    I check what you said and get below result it seems that my IPv6 that added using subnet, are now added but maybe it have routing problem.

    Boss,
    Unless I am looking at the wrong picture, I didn't notice any IP being assigned, all saw was the subnet.

    But please reach out to your provider as they will be the best one to answer your inquiry :)

    Can you ping external IPv6 addresses from that box?

    No I can't, as other mentioned I should contact provider, I thought It's was something silly that I don't understand, so I ask here for guide.

    You have to generate your own IP address by using the last four octets

    I did that, and restart my VM from control panel but still ping6 won't work

  • saudiqbalsaudiqbal Member

    The problem is with your VPS provider and not with your VPS then.
