I am trying to implement dual stack for IPv6 support in a IPv4 system. I have configured a DHCP server which gives IPv4 and IPv6 address to the device.
My PC and the VM running on it gets both, IPv6 and IPv4 addresses. The embedded system I am working on needs the dhcpcd command to get IP address.
I've got the following setup:
My Windows 7 development box (or a freshly installed Windows 7 VM)
A Windows Embedded CE 6.0 based device with IPv6 enabled and a web server running
A USB RNDIS connection between the two
On both sides of the connection, there is a link-local IPv6 address configured automatically as expected and I can ping in both directions using the scope ID.
I can enter the dev
I am trying to get an IPv6 Bind DNS server running on RedHat ES4 Bind version bind-9.2.4-37.el4, but am having mixed results. I can get named to run correctly and I see named listening on my IPv6 address, I can even do a dig to the IPv6 local host address and it returns results.
I cant however get any dig results if I query against the IPv6 address it times out and doesn't return any results.
I was, previously, able to configure OpenVZ VMs with only IPv6 addresses, but when configuring a new VM, OpenVZ required that I enter a value for the IPv4 address and, using a dummy address (0.0.0.0, for example), was able to build a new VM. This process worked, but was not ideal, and I would prefer to simply use the single IPv6 address, if possible.
I've been having difficulty with connecting to my IPv6 address via rsync. Because the argument for the destination folder is colon-separated, the IPv6 address disrupts this like so:
root@fdff::ffff:ffff:ffff:/path/to/dest
How do I use rsync with an IPv6 address via SSH?
IPv4 IPs getting rare and more expensive and I wonder if it is possible to switch our web servers completely to IPv6. I know it is advised to use IPv4 and IPv6 but I still would like to know:
Is there any way to make multiple IPv6 web servers reachable using only one IPv4 address?
What problems would we face concerning for example HTTPS?
Do the ipv6 addresses start with fe80 or something else? Anything "fe80" are link local addresses and are not routable ipv6 addresses.If you look at the last 6 digits of the i... [by TrevorH]
How i can assign two or more IPv6 address on one NIC. I tried Google by no luck. I've done it with ipv4 but ipv6 can not .
Thanks in advance!
I have a Windows 7 box that already has a dynamic address assigned by a router but I would like to add a static address (private/Unique Local - not a link local). I don't see anyway of doing this via the UI unless I turn off dynamic address assignment. Is it possible via the CLI?
EDIT: And how do I make it permanent?
