Tunneling from a Solaris hosts.

[Andrew Watkins]

Hello,

I sure this is an easy one for you lot, but not for me!!

I am setting up a IPv6 host, but so far I have been unable to
ping hosts past the 6bone. I can ping the 6bone but no others, also
I have used Lancaster Univ. ping web program and have failed to ping my IPv6 
interface.

Any help would be welcome.

Here is the script of the installation, plus a summary:

pv4 tunnel entry: 144.82.29.51 
ipv4 tunnel end:  193.63.94.6 
ipv6 source:      3ffe:2100:0001:0010::0/64 
ipv6 destination: 3FFE:2100:0001:0010:0:C46:B898:10 
====================================================
%/usr/ipv6/etc/conf_ipv6

This script is used to configure the start up scripts for the
IPv6 prototype. The file that this script produces is
/etc/rc2.d/S70ipv6. This file can be editted after completing
this configuration script.



Should this node perform automatic tunneling? (y/n) [Y] 

Configuring tunnel for address ::144.82.29.51


Create a configured tunnel. This is an IPv6 interface that operates
by encapsulating IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets.
You must provide the IPv4 entry/endpoint of the tunnel as well as the
IPv6 source and destination address of the tunnel.
For 6BONE connection please consult: http://www-6bone.lbl.gov/6bone/ 

Should this node do configured tunneling? (y/n) [Y] 

The following must be the IPv4 address of an existing interface, 
Enter the IPv4 tunnel entry-point src address [def:144.82.29.51] 
Enter the IPv4 tunnel exit-point address: 193.63.94.6
Enter the IPv6 source address: 3ffe:2100:0001:0010::0/64
Enter the IPv6 destination address: 3FFE:2100:1:10:0:C46:B898:10

Here is the info you specified for the configured tunnel 
ipv4 tunnel entry: 144.82.29.51 
ipv4 tunnel end: 193.63.94.6 
ipv6 source:      3ffe:2100:0001:0010::0/64 
ipv6 destination: 3FFE:2100:0001:0010:0:C46:B898:10 
Is this correct? y/n [n] y
Do you want to create another configured tunnel interface? (y/n) [n]


In this section information about IPv6 network interfaces
is entered. The name of an IPv6 interfaces is of the form
<name><unit>#v6. That is they are the same as IPv4 interfaces
only have a #v6 appended. If you choose to configure IPv6
network interfaces, this script will search for all the IPv4
network interfaces (at least those listed in /etc/hostname.*)
and for each one found ask if an IPv6 interface should be configured.
Currently *only* ethernet interfaces are supported.

Do you wish to configure IPv6 interfaces? (y/n) [Y] 

Found interfaces:  le0.

Do you want an IPv6 interface for "le0"? (y/n) [Y] 


An interface can be set to send router advertisments. With
router advertisments onlink prefixes can be advertised and this
node can be advertised as a default router.

Should this interface do router advertising? (y/n) [N] 

Every IPv6 interface automatically has one address automatically
configured called the link local address. This is usually
determined by combining the hardware address of the interface
with some standard address prefix. Other addresses can also
be configured on the interface.

Do you want to configure other addresses? (y/n) [N] 

The routing protocol RIPv6 is supported through the routing daemon
"in.routed6". This daemon can be run on a node that is acting as
a router and is participating in routing propogation with other
routers.

Would you like run in.routed6 (y/n) [N] 

All the necessary configuration information has been gathered. If you
do not want to write the configuration to the startup script
/etc/rc2.d/S70ipv6 you can choose not to now. Else, the script will be
created and upon reboot it will take effect.

Write result to /etc/rc2.d/S70ipv6? (y/n) [Y] 

Wrote results to /etc/rc2.d/S70ipv6

........


IPv6 configuration is complete.
You may undo the changes you have mad and
restore the system to its original state by:
pkgrm SUNWipv6

Please reboot for changes to take affect.
