IPv6 Tunneling


Recommended Posts

Can someone give me hand with this problem, I'm trying to setup an IPv6 Tunnel through freebsd,

Does anyone have any experience with IPv6 Tunneling that can give me a hand with this part, [ The part in the brackets ], I need some kind of example..... if possible.

Next step is configuring the tunnel:

# ifconfig gif0 create

# ifconfig gif0 tunnel [Your IPv4 Endpoint] [POP IPv4 Endpoint]

# ifconfig gif0 inet6 [Your IPv6 Endpoint] [POP IPv6 Endpoint] prefixlen 128

The tunnel should be up now.

# route add -inet6 default [POP IPv6 Endpoint]

If you plan to use your machine as a router:

# sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1

rc.conf way:

ipv6_enable="YES"

ipv6_defaultrouter="[POP IPv6 Endpoint]"

gif_interfaces="gif0"

gifconfig_gif0="[Your IPv4 Endpoint] [POP IPv4 Endpoint]"

ipv6_ifconfig_gif0="[Your IPv6 Endpoint] [POP IPv6 Endpoint] prefixlen 128"

Thats true , but since most people look @ the General Forum before going anywhere else I thought it best to post it here, and since time isn't really a factor... I thought what the hell give it a try here first ;)

Thanks for the reply though ;)
