I've enabled ipv6 support in my kernel and it appears to be working on |
| 2 |
the "lo" interface: |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
# ip -6 addr show lo |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 |
| 7 |
inet6 ::1/128 scope host |
| 8 |
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
# ping6 -c3 ::1 |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
PING ::1(::1) 56 data bytes |
| 13 |
64 bytes from ::1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.022 ms |
| 14 |
64 bytes from ::1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.021 ms |
| 15 |
64 bytes from ::1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.021 ms |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
--- ::1 ping statistics --- |
| 18 |
3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 1998ms |
| 19 |
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.021/0.021/0.022/0.003 ms |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
And the other interfaces all have link-local addresses: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
# ip -6 addr show eth1 |
| 24 |
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000 |
| 25 |
inet6 fe80::216:17ff:fe84:a7b3/64 scope link |
| 26 |
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
But I can't ping6 any of the "real" interfaces (or any external |
| 29 |
address): |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
# ping6 -c3 fe80::216:17ff:fe84:a7b3 |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
connect: Invalid argument |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Why can I ping "lo" at ::1 and not "eth1" at fe80::216:17ff:fe84:a7b3? |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I'm guessing there might other packages I have to re-emerge with the |
| 38 |
ipv6 use flag. But, I do not want to rebuild everything capable of |
| 39 |
supporting ipv6, since there are only a few selected programs that |
| 40 |
I'll be using with ipv6. I thought I might have to rebuild glibc, but |
| 41 |
it doens't list ipv6 as one of it's use flags. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Any hints? |
