Need some help with IPv6
I've been working on IPv6 for the last 2 hours or so, but i just can not get it working on my server
I have the following in my network config:
iface eth0 inet6 static pre-up modprobe ipv6 address 2xxx:xxx:6:0292::2 netmask 64 gateway 2xxx:xxx:6:0292::1 dns-nameservers 2001:4860:4860::8888 2001:4860:4860::8844
But i still have the
inet6 addr: fe80::226:2dff:fe16:1d55/64
Address at the ifconfig results
Also, can not ping6 any host
Can someone help me with this please?
Comments
remove the name servers and try it.
Can you ping the ipv6 gateway from the vps and from the outside?
As for the inet6 addr: fe80::226:2dff:fe16:1d55/64 is the internal IPv6. But, can you also post the /etc/resolv.conf?
@Joodle - you have rebooted the server after making the changes?
Still does not work
Yes
Just done that, didn't work
That's the causes
Try to modify it to like this :
Been working on it all morning... Google'd a lot, still doesn't work
Also doesn't make any changes..
Is this a vps from another provider or your own vps inside your dedi?
fe80::/64 is link-local address always there. Maybe gateway not up?
This is a dedicated server
Gateway should be up, i have this line at the interfaces file: "gateway 2605:xxx:x:xxxx::1"
It's running Ubuntu 13.10
http://knowledgelayer.softlayer.com/learning/adding-ipv6-ubuntu-systems use the ipv6 connectivity part to troubleshoot
Getting the following error:
Already found that website yesterday, nothing did work
How about disable the IPv6 from the config, and add it manually?
Is it works?
There's 2 persons always help me solving the IPv6 problem, Spirit and rm_
Just did that, it does add the IPv6 addresses, but i can't ping6 google and i can't ping the IPv6 address from either...
edit: what does ip -6 r say? Can you ping6 your gateway?
I need another result from this command
Did the IPv6 in /64 or /54?
Done this:
Getting the following error:
I mean gateway cannot be properly contacted ( ping6 ) even with correct IPv6 addr. Gateway refuse to route your IPv6 or gateway actually down.
I guess its a upstream problem?
ip -6 r a 2xxx:xxx:6:0292::/64 dev eth0
ip -6 r a default via 2xxx:xxx:6:0292::1
Awesome this work, i can ping the IPv6 from another server now, but i can not ping IPv6 addresses from the dedicated server
Edit: Can't connect to the IPv6 ubuntu server either (apt-get)
what does "ip -6 r" say?
Ok, and ip6tables -L -n ?
So you can't ping6 ipv6.google.com ?
All of those IPv6 can be pinged from the outside, except 2605:980:6:292::
Interesting that it all goes through a He.net tunnel. I thought Delimiter had native ipv6.
Correct, i just get massive packet loss
I have never had any issues with IPv6 before on other servers...
