im going by vcs guide for openbsd at http://wiki.arpnetworks.com/wiki/48%20IPv6%20on%20OpenBSD
however, openbsd is a bit diff than debian
hmms
for example, i know i need to add fe80::1 as gateway and fe80::2 as an address but would the be netmask 48 or netmask 64 in /etc/network/interfaces
are you doing this on debian or obsd ?
debian
just add them in interfaces then
so can anyone help me, im having trouble with configuring ipv6 on debian?
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianIPv6
yeah i'm looking for someone to help instead of pasting links
i've already saw them all
what problem are you having?
ive done tryed damn near every combination in /etc/network/interfaces
i'm running debian
i tryed going by vxs guide for openbsd for this same thing with same host
and i get 'Reconfiguring network interfaces...SIOCADDRT: File exists' whenever i /etc/init.d/networking restart
if you do ifconfig -a or "ip addr" do you see your ipv6 address?
yea
inet6 addr: fe80::5054:ff:fe27:2351/64 Scope:Link
my network is 2607:f2f8:34c0::/48 and gateway is fe80::1/64
ive tryed making fe80::1   the gateway in interfaces file and address fe80::2
and tryed other things as well
that address, fe80:: is a link-local one (like a mac address with ipv4)
you can't use it to talk to the outside world
ive also tryed 2607:f2f8:34c0::1 as gateway
but in the guide for openbsd it says this -> As root, first open the file "/etc/mygate". Replace the IPv6 line with the IPv6 gateway: "fe80::1%em0", where em0 is the name of your external network interface.
that should be right, but you also have to give your host its proper address, right
the %em0 syntax is a bsd thing, it won't work with linkx
s/linkx/linux/
ye
so i should edit /etc/hosts
and replace ::1    localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback   to that 2607:1 ip?
try getting it working with the ifconfig or ip commands first
worry about the configuration files later
so something like:
ifconifg eth0 inet6 add 2607:f2f8:34c0::2/48
route -A inet6 default gw 2607:f2f8:34c0::1
(rather ifconfig ipv6 add eth0 2607:...) or something. linux has funny non-standard syntax for these things
ahahaha
