1) We need radvd for it to work
# yum install radvd
2) Make changes in radvd.conf
# vim /etc/radvd.conf
interface eth1
{
AdvSendAdvert on;
MinRtrAdvInterval 30;
MaxRtrAdvInterval 100;
prefix 2001:db8:1:0::/64
{
AdvOnLink on;
AdvAutonomous on;
AdvRouterAddr off;
};
};
3) Enable IPv6 forwarding,
we need to set following in /etc/sysctl.conf
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
4) Reboot the PC
5) service radvd start
6) Now the service should start fine
How to test :
Connect Windows 7 PC-> make it tcp/ipv6 DHCP client , connect to Linux Server ( above configured PC)
The two should communicate using IPv6, the Linux Server should assign IPv6 address to windows 7 client.
ping6 -I eth1 ipv6-address-of-windows
should work fine.
Keep Learning !! Keap sharing !!!
