What's the best way to get started in IPv6 in Debian? I've installed the
iputils-ping package and am running kernel 2.4.0-test7 on one machine and
2.4.0-test4 on another.
Have the following in /etc/hosts on both machines:
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
"ping6 ip6-loopback" works fine. I try ping6 on any of the other IPv6
addresses and get the following:
ping6 ip6-allnodes
connect: Invalid argument
Same for all the other ipv6 addresses.
ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:A4:E6:6C:02
inet addr:10.200.16.212 Bcast:10.200.19.255 Mask:255.255.252.0
inet6 addr: fe80::210:a4ff:fee6:6c02/10 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:83258 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:73912 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:27
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:9 Base address:0x300
So I have an inet6 address on eth0 as soon as I do "modprobe ipv6". What is
the way to ping it?
Here is my routing table:
Kernel IPv6 routing table
Destination Next Hop
Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
::1/128 ::
U 0 23 1 lo
fe80::210:a4ff:fee6:6c02/128 ::
U 0 0 0 lo
fe80::/10 ::
UA 256 0 0 eth0
ff02::1/128 ff02::1
UAC 0 1 1 eth0
ff00::/8 ::
UA 256 0 0 eth0
::/0 ::
UDA 256 0 0 eth0
Here is the results when I try to use one of the site-local addresses:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc#ifconfig eth0 inet6 fec0:0:0:1:2c0:6cff:fe00:f043
Don't know how to set addresses for family 10.
Does anyone have any ideas?
