Here are the correct settings that seem to work:
1)
Addresses given by my ISP:
HEX1:aa00::/64
HEX2:bb00::/56 <-- this is the one used below
2) /etc/network/interfaces file
#for IPv6 config (note "bb01"). Goes to LAN switch
iface eth0 inet6 static
address HEX2:bb01::01
netmask 64
network HEX2:bb01::
#for IPv6 config (note "bb00"). Goes to ADSL modem
iface eth1 inet6 static
address HEX2:bb00::01
netmask 64
network HEX2:bb00::
3)
I also have the "+ipv6" option in my dsl-provider file to be used when I
make an ADSL connection.
4)
And added the route:
$> sudo route --inet6 add default dev ppp0
Further, in my /etc/radvd.conf on this router machine, I have the
following(recall that eth0 is connected to a switch on the LAN):
> cat /etc/radvd.conf
interface eth0
{
AdvSendAdvert on;
AdvLinkMTU 1280;
MaxRtrAdvInterval 300;
MinRtrAdvInterval 30;
prefix HEX2:bb01::/64 # <-- note this address and ref. eth0
{
AdvOnLink on;
AdvAutonomous on;
};
};
Now another machine on my LAN is able to get an IPv6 address:
{LAN machine}$> /sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep inet6
$> /sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep inet6
inet6 addr: HEX2:bb01:HEXblah:/64 Scope:Global
inet6 addr: fe80::204:75ff:fe8a:d6df/64 Scope:Link
So, I had to assign address from HEX2:bb00::/56 range. One network was
eth1 (HEX2:bb00::) and another was eth0 (HEX2:bb01::). Basically, the
two NICs in the same machine need to be on different IPv6 networks ...
same as in IPv4 (Doh!).
Now, do the above observations mean I am now correctly using my IPv6
networking and ppp connection given by my ISP? Also, what is the
HEX2::/64 address given to me by my ISP for?
