One such, +'radvd' is available in the distribution. + +You must configure the prefix your IPv4 maps to (see tun6to4 above) in +/etc/radvd.conf or use certain automatic hooks. This is not covered here +in detail; see radvd.conf(5) and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ipv6 +for details. + +Usually the following is enough: + +1. Make sure that radvd package is installed. + +2. Configure radvd as outlined in radvd.conf(5); the file could + be something like: + + interface eth1 + { + AdvSendAdvert on; + MinRtrAdvInterval 3; + MaxRtrAdvInterval 10; + prefix 0:0:0:1::/64 + { + Base6to4Interface eth0; + AdvPreferredLifetime 120; + AdvValidLifetime 300; + }; + }; + +3. Make sure radvd starts at boot and start it now: + + /sbin/chkconfig radvd on + /sbin/service radvd start + +4. Make the initscripts signal radvd to recalculate the prefix when it + changes: + + /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0: + + IPV6_CONTROL_RADVD=yes + +5. Configure the associated routes to other 6to4 subnets to point at + your LAN interfaces; this can be done automatically with + IPV6TO4_ROUTING variable; please refer sysconfig.txt for details. + In the particular example, above, this would be like: + + /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0: + + IPV6TO4_ROUTING="eth1-:1::0/64" + + However, please note that no global address is configured on the + interface, just a route! + +MORE INFORMATION +---------------- + +http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/IPv6-HOWTO/IPv6-HOWTO.html is a good +source of IPv6 related Linux-information. + +ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc3056.txt ("Connection of IPv6 Domains via IPv4 +Clouds") is the RFC about 6to4. + +ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc3068.txt ("An Anycast Prefix for 6to4 Relay +Routers") is the RFC about finding a close 6to4 relay automatically. + +http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-savola-v6ops-6to4-security-02.txt +("Security Considerations and Enhancements for 6to4") explains some +security considerations in 6to4. diff --git a/doc/ipv6-tunnel.howto b/doc/ipv6-tunnel.howto new file mode 100644 index 00000000..ac5de0dc --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/ipv6-tunnel.howto @@ -0,0 +1,100 @@ +v1.4 10th Jan 2002, Pekka Savola + +HOW TO SET UP AN IPV6 TUNNEL +---------------------------- + +ASSUMPTIONS +----------- + +1.
