 Posted: Tue Jul 27, 2004 5:30 am Post subject: weird ipv6 problems [solved] |
 |
|
I recently added ipv6 support to my Gentoo desktop (fe80::260:8ff:fe59:ad7e). I have 2 computers running OpenBSD (fe80::208:2ff:fe6c:7e1b and fe80::290:27ff:fe0e:84b2), which supports ipv6 by default, and a vmware virtual machine running Solaris 10 7/04 and using vmware's bridged networking (fe80::20c:29ff:fecc:3d9).
When I try accessing anything over ipv6 from Gentoo, I get
| Code: | $ ping6 fe80::260:8ff:fe59:ad7e
connect: Invalid argument
$ ftp fe80::208:2ff:fe6c:7e1b
ftp: connect: Invalid argument
$ ssh fe80::290:27ff:fe0e:84b2
ssh: connect to host fe80::290:27ff:fe0e:84b2 port 22: Invalid argument
$ ping6 fe80::20c:29ff:fecc:3d9
connect: Invalid argument |
but, the following commands work
| Code: | $ ssh ::1
$ ping6 ::1 |
in OpenBSD, I get
| Code: | $ ping6 fe80::260:8ff:fe59:ad7e
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) fe80::1%lo0 --> fe80::260:8ff:fe59:ad7e
ping6: sendmsg: Network is unreachable
$ ftp fe80::208:2ff:fe6c:7e1b
ftp: connect: Network is unreachable
$ ssh fe80::20c:29ff:fecc:3d9
ssh: connect to host fe80::20c:29ff:fecc:3d9 port 22: Network is unreachable |
but again, all the commands work on ::1
now for the big surprise from Solaris
| Code: | $ ping fe80::260:8ff:fe59:ad7e
fe80::260:8ff:fe59:ad7e is alive
$ ftp fe80::208:2ff:fe6c:7e1b
Connected to fe80::208:2ff:fe6c:7e1b.
...
$ ssh fe80::290:27ff:fe0e:84b2
jake@fe80::290:27ff:fe0e:84b2's password:
$ ping fe80::20c:29ff:fecc:3d9
fe80::20c:29ff:fecc:3d9 is alive |
and of course everything also works on ::1
Am I getting the syntax wrong in OpenBSD and Linux or something? Is Solaris doing some kind of voodoo tunneling? I don't see any extra interfaces with /sbin/ifconfig -a, but I'm just a newbie with Solaris.
Oh, and I think my routes look good, but I wouldn't know a good ipv6 route if I saw one
| Code: | gentoo$ /sbin/ip -6 route show
fe80::/64 dev eth0 metric 256 mtu 1500 advmss 1440 metric10 64
...
obsd$ route show
...
fe80::%fxp0 link#1 U
.... |
EDIT: OpenBSD and Linux need site-local addresses (fecx::...).

Now I can ping at least, but how am I supposed to get everything else working?
EDIT: I know I need a tunnel for Internet ipv6 access, but I don't want to sign up if my LAN isn't ipv6 capable |
