O Canada! → Canadian → TekSavvy > IPv6 beta

Re: IPv6 beta

Can we opt into this beta and still have our existing account/login? can the two be used on seperate computers? I'm tempted interested getting into this to learn more about it etc.

I've followed these directions using the ipv6 address assigned to me and logging into to @hsiservice.net and the router is not assigning my vista machine an ipv6 address.

You will need to enter "2607:f2c0:blah:4200::1" in the Router IPv6 field
and select /56 as the Router IPv6 netmask. Hit Save. At that point every IPv6 capable host behind the router should pick up an IP.

Has anyone else had this problem or know how to resolve it?
TIA!

Can you post your ipconfig /all info for your adaptor? it may be assigned but another problem

Here's my ipconfig/all
The adapter isn't being assigned anything for ipv6 from the router

I want to add, I CAN ping ipv6.google.com from the router just fine.

- ipv6less

(sarcasm) No wonder, you don't even have a valid MAC address! (/sarcasm)

Seriously, it's like trying to hide a computer's local IP as 192.168.0.5, it's silly.

Hum, I hope you aren't actually typing "blah" in there. Replace that with the actual IP provided.

lol, yeah I have some mild knowledge in the computer world, I would know to replace the blah :P

It worked fine using a /64 subnet in your 1.19 firmware (I could access IPv6 sites and see my IP)

2607:f2c0:blah:1500::1 in your case.

Like I said previously, I'm going to work on Tomato so that the user doesn't have to type any IPv6 address at all. The problem at the moment is that IPv6 Neighbour Discovery + MLPPP doesn't work on our ERXes. We filed a bug report with Juniper, they acknowledged the problem and are working on a patch.

A part of my log: »pastie.org/private/gl0xbw7httkkchacj6aivw
2607:f2c0:blah:1500::1 (replaced blah with the actual value) is in the IPv6 field, /56 selected. Still not working.

Based on this

Feb 27 20:17:38 unknown local2.info pppd[5332]: Terminating link on signal 2
Feb 27 20:17:38 unknown local2.notice pppd[5332]: Link terminated.

You aren't connected... I can't tell why though.

Connected to what? I can browse the internet fine, posting this using the connection.

Should I try reflashing and erasing NVRAM?

EDIT: Looks like I'm not the only one »IPv6 Testers

Used the solution posted at »IPv6 Testers posted by daboom. Worked nicely

doesn't look like u got ipv6 on at all

What OS you got running there? looks like XP.

to anyone else having the router work with ipv6 and nothing else and esp if your lan device is getting a ipv6 address assigned from the router. check this part out.

Anyone mind checking out there firewall functions on tomato?

It appears to not be functioning proper/at all on IPv6. A port scan found several open ports on my system.

A IPv4 scan shows nothing open and a IPv6 scan shows 88 and 548 open. Should be easy enough to fix, but be warned, tomato appears to not firewall ipv6 at all by default.

Yes that's correct no Ipv6 firewall enabled yet it's like having a direct connection to the inet just make sure pc firewall is on and blocking if avail. The Ipv6 filtering may be added later and this was well discussed in various posts.

I must of skipped those posts then . I just assumed it would at least default to everything closed.

At any rate, I turned ipv6 off for now, I dont want to go around making sure everything is firewalled in software properly right now, plus some devices can't be firewalled through software (like my ipv6 ready printers.)

I managed to get IPv6 working with the custom tomato release with no trouble at all, however I do have these observations:

- I get a dynamic IPv4 rather than my static IPv4 that I get with my usual credentials. (I've received a suggestion as to how to work around this)

- The tomato interface doesn't let me add static IPv6 routes from the routing screen -- I had to go do so by adding it to administration/scripts in the form of:

ip -6 route add 2607:f2c0:foo:baz::/64 via 2607:f2c0:foo:bar::2 
 

Do you plan to offer static ipv4 soon with our ipv6 login?

I was planning and successfully used ipv6 on 1.19mp2 but I see tat you only offer dynamic IP and I need a static IP

Hey brassy,

I've been trying to get mpd5 configured correctly - did you have to write your own link-up scripts? I'm seeing the IPV6CP LayerUp event and the addresses involved are shown (see below), but there is nothing a the linklocal address on the PPP link afterwards (no other aliases or routes are added).

I also tried userland ppp and it never negotiated IPV6CP even though the option is specified (but did happily do MLPPP/SLPPP and IPV4)

[B1] IPV6CP: LayerUp
[B1] 02a0:ccff:fe30:abcd -> 0090:1a00:4243:wxyz

Hey,

Is there a way to get an ND build so that also my Asus router can feel the loving?

Well after a few days of banging my head against the wall I finally have stable IPv6 access to the net. I was getting weird stuff going on. The net was there then it wasn't. I could ping from the router then but I could not from the hosts on the network. Nothing was making any sense. I played with the routing until I was blue in the face. Being in the tech industry for 12 years I was feeling fairly stupid. Then it hit me. I swapped the WRT-54GL for another one and BAM everything worked! (with the BAM sound effect and everything!!) I ended up splitting my /56 into 4 /64s and using one between the WRT-54GL and my MikroTik RB450G router and the second /64 for my LAN. The 3rd and 4rth /64s are for future expansion when I run out of address space So I am using ipv6.google.com for my searching and using the Hurricane Electric IPv6 DNS server to get youtube and all that on IPv6. All in all everything is working quite well.

Any update on Western Canada IPv6?

Hi rhooper,

I've been trying to get it working with mpd5 for me .. and it connects, does the IPv6CP negotiation, then the interface ends up with this configured address:

IPv6 Addresses : fe80::2b0:d0ff:fee9:ef8%ng0 -> fe80::90:1a00:4243:14a8%ng0

In mpd.log it shows:

Mar 12 18:49:16 mpd: [B1] IPV6CP: LayerUp
Mar 12 18:49:16 mpd: [B1] 02b0:d0ff:fee9:0ef8 -> 0090:1a00:4243:14a8

It seems I am getting link-local addresses on the interface, but am not sure what this means!

Your ifup and ifdown scripts leave this info:

/usr/local/etc/mpd5/ifup.sh ng0 inet6 fe80::2b0:d0ff:fee9:ef8%ng0 fe80::90:1a00:4243:14a8%ng0 - 00:00:00:00:00:00
add net default: gateway fe80::90:1a00:4243:14a8%ng0

/usr/local/etc/mpd5/ifdown.sh ng0 inet6 fe80::2b0:d0ff:fee9:ef8%ng0 fe80::90:1a00:4243:14a8%ng0 - 00:00:00:00:00:00
delete net default: gateway fe80::90:1a00:4243:14a8%ng0

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

We now have an IPv6 block routed to vancouver but the problem is that we need to upgrade the OS on one of the routers to properly support IPv6 over ppp. (requires downtime). No ETA for that yet.
