KS-LE: Get IPv6 to work under Proxmox

hey guys,

I bought a KS-LE at kimsufis black week offers and installed Proxmox on it using their offered Proxmox distribution but it is not coming with IPv6 connectivity and now I'm stuck getting it to work.

I added the following to my interfaces:
iface vmbr0 inet6 static
address 2001:41d0:****:****::1
netmask 128
post-up sleep 5; /sbin/ip -family inet6 route add 2001:41d0:****:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff dev vmbr0
post-up sleep 5; /sbin/ip -family inet6 route add default via 2001:41d0:****:
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
post-down /sbin/ip -family inet6 route del 2001:41d0:****:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff dev vmbr0
post-down /sbin/ip -family inet6 route del default via 2001:41d0:****:
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

As soon as I reboot the system IPv4 comes back to life but IPv6 does not. SSH is also not working anymore and I have to set it to rescue mode and remove the IPv6 configuration.

Do you have any idea, whats wrong with my config ?

Thanks

  • Netmask is /64 and your gw address is wrong too. I just added ipv6 address and gateway, working fine.

  • I had a netmask of /64 configured but how is my gateway wrong ?

    are you ok with me dm you with my IPv6 address ? I don't really know whats wrong with it ?

    I changed the netmask back to /64 and I figured out, what you meant with 'gateway is wrong'.
    I guess I just messed up with replacing actual IP with stars. I did not fuck it up, it's the LETs post editor :neutral: It uses STAR STAR text STAR STAR to bold sth

    My gateway looks more like this:
    post-up /sbin/ip -family inet6 route add 2001:41d0:----:--ff:ff:ff:ff:ff dev vmbr0
    post-up /sbin/ip -family inet6 route add default via 2001:41d0:----:--ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    post-down /sbin/ip -family inet6 route del 2001:41d0:----:--ff:ff:ff:ff:ff dev vmbr0
    post-down /sbin/ip -family inet6 route del default via 2001:41d0:----:--ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

    I can add the IPv6 to an extra VMBR now but I don't get any connectivity to the internet.
    Does anyone have an idea ?

  • DM me please

  • I had the same issue.
    I solved it like this, I installed npd6 and configured it to my subnet.

    Then i used the following network config:

    iface eno3 inet6 static
        address 2001:41d0:700:xxxx::1/128
        gateway 2001:41d0:700:xxxx:ff:ff:ff:ff
    
    
    auto vmbr0
    iface vmbr0 inet static
        address xx.xx.xx.xx/29
        bridge-ports none
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0
    
    iface vmbr0 inet6 static
        address 2001:41d0:700:xxxx::2/64
        up ip -6 route add 2001:41d0:700:xxxx::/64 dev vmbr0
            down ip -6 route del 2001:41d0:700:xxxx::/64 dev vmbr0
    

    And in my VM I used as 2001:41d0:700:xxxx:12:2/64 and as gateway 2001:41d0:700:xxxx::2

    The main drawback i'm still having: I need to periodically run a traceroute to keep the IPv6 connection running.
    Maybe somebody else can solve it.

    Good luck with IPv6 on OVH's network.

    Their implementation is so broken and rarely works.

    Works, besides when they had a maintenance, the entire machine lost connectivity and I need to run a hard reset.
