You're running Red Hat Linux 7.1 or later. + + This is required for correct IPv6 by default settings, and IPv6 being + enabled as a kernel module by default. You also need recent enough + initscripts, provided in RHL71. + +2. You have a static, globally unique IPv4 address. + +3. Protocol 41 (IPv6-in-IPv4) is not being filtered in any IPv4 firewall. + +4. 'iproute' package is installed. This is used by default for a lot + more powerful tunneling capabilities. + +INFORMATION NEEDED +------------------ + +You need to know: + +1. The IPv4 address of your tunnel end point +2. The IPv6 address used in your tunnel + +The other end needs to know the same things about your setup. + +NOTE: It is also possible to set up unnumbered tunnels (no global IPv6 +addresses). + +You must get these from a party (tunnel broker) who's assigning IPv6 tunnels. See: +http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/IPv6-HOWTO/IPv6-HOWTO-1.html#joinIPv6backbone + +Example from http://old.freenet6.net: +--- +This script will create a tunnel between this computer +and the Freenet6 server (tunnels server) +Your IPv6 address (your tunnel end point) is +3ffe:b00:c18:1fff:0:0:0:7f5 +We establish a tunnel to the Freenet6 server at +3ffe:b00:c18:1fff:0:0:0:7f4 +Your IPv4 address is : 193.xxx.yyy.zzz +The IPv4 address of the Freenet6 server is : 206.123.31.102 +--- + +With this information, a tunnel can be set up: + +SETTING UP THE TUNNEL CONFIGURATION +----------------------------------- + +Now, set up the configuration as follows: + +1. Enable IPv6 and set tunnel as default gateway in /etc/sysconfig/network: + + echo "IPV6_DEFAULTDEV=sit1">> /etc/sysconfig/network + +2. Create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sit1, with the following: + +--- +DEVICE=sit1 +BOOTPROTO=none +ONBOOT=yes +IPV6INIT=yes +IPV6TUNNELIPV4=206.123.31.102 +IPV6ADDR=3ffe:b00:c18:1fff:0:0:0:7f5/128 +--- + +NOTE: You must use _sit1_ (or sit2,...). sit0 cannot be used, this is a +special device. + +NOTE: Some tunnel endpoints might require a different kind of prefix length; +for example, Cisco's usually favour /126. Using /0 creates a default route +through that interface. + +NOTE: If you're not directly connected to the Internet, you may want to use +ONBOOT=no instead. + +TUNNELING +--------- + +Tunnel can be brought up and down with: + + ifup sit1 + ifdown sit1 + +NOTE: In initscripts < 6.02 (ie. IPV6_TUNNELMODE=NBMA), even though sit1 is used, +'ip' sees the tunnel as sit0. This is due to an "interesting" implementation +of tunneling -- else multiple tunnels couldn't be used extensibly. + +NOTE: iproute tools give more reliable data, try e.g. '/sbin/ip addr ls'. + +MORE INFORMATION +---------------- + +http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/IPv6-HOWTO/IPv6-HOWTO.html is a good +source of IPv6 related Linux-information. |
