»docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-51···m?a=view]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22132318 Thu, 26 Mar 2009 12:29:16 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22130894 anon : Hi All,

My requirement is to create a v4overv6 tunnel on both solaris machines and need to access one machine from another
For this, I am trying to create a v4 over v6 tunnel on Solaris. Can I get the exact information regarding it. Here, I am putting few trails I did so far.

1.) Initially I tried creating v6 over v4 tunnels with the following commands and worked out:
ifconfig ip.tun1 inet6 plumb
ifconfig ip.tun1 inet6 tsrc 192.168.2.4 tdst 192.168.2.6 up
ifconfig ip.tun1 inet6 addif fe80::a00:27ff:fe03:b9a4 fe80::a00:27ff:fe03:b9a4 up

I tried to use same kind of syntax to create v4 over v6 tunnel as well
ifconfig ip.tun1 inet6 plumb
ifconfig ip.tun1 inet6 tsrc fe80::a00:27ff:fe03:b9a4 tdst fe80::a00:27ff:fe03:b9a4 up
ifconfig ip.tun1 inet6 addif 192.168.2.4 192.168.2.6 up
But I am getting errors like this:-
ifconfig: fe80::a00:27ff:fe03:b9a4: bad address
ifconfig: 192.168.2.4: bad address

2.) I was trying to execute following command (which I got from google)
ifconfig ip6.tun1 inet plumb tsrc fe80::a00:27ff:fe03:b9a4 tdst fe80::a00:27ff:fe03:b9a4 up
It has thrown the following error:-
ifconfig : Failure : ip6.tun1 : Cannot assign requested address.

3.) I also tried another command.
ifconfig ip6.tun1 inet plumb 192.168.2.4 192.168.2.6 tsrc fe80::a00:27ff:fe03:b9a4 tdst fe80::a00:27ff:fe03:b9a4 up
It has thrown the same error but has assigned the IPv4 address:-
ifconfig : Failure : ip6.tun1 : Cannot assign requested address.

Please do the needful.

Thanks in Advance.
