I have an Ubuntu 10.04 server/router with IPv6 internet connectivity (I have an internet routable /64 subnet). Since I have this abundance of IPv6 addresses I wanted to try and assign v6 addresses to specific users on the local system. I've been looking at ip6tables with packet mangling but I don't seem to be able to find out how to do this or if this is even possible.
Current configuration: eth0: Local network, has the /64 IPv6 public range active and the IPv4 LAN range. tun0: 6in4 tunnel with a ISP assigned public v6 address. eth1: Standard IPv4 internet connection.
All users on my system use the v6 address configured on tun0. I want to force them to use the /64 range which is configured on eth0. If I can force users to use a specific v6 address, I'll configure more then one v6 address on this interface based on the users userID on the system.
I want to add an ipv6 address in linux.
i am going to use the following command.
# /sbin/ifconfig <interface> inet6 add <ipv6address>/<prefixlength>
Can anyone explain how this command will works?
Is that prefix length value is fixed to 64 or is it vary?if so,can you explain how it could be?
I have a kernel function device_ioctl(). How do I define it in file_operations?
1. struct file_operations memory_fops = {
ioctl:device_ioctl
};
2. struct file_operations memory_fops = {
.ioctl=device_ioctl
};
3. struct file_operations memory_fops = {
device_ioctl
};
which one is the right one?
I am able to retrieve IPv4 addresses with ioctl. But it is not returning IPv6 addresses. My requirement is to get both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. I can not use getifaddrs() since it has to be common code between linux, solaris and aix. Solaris and AIX are not having getifaddrs(). Following code is returning only IPv4 addresses.
Code:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <netdb.h>

Hi I am trying to add the device by using followig code strip and it says that eth1 is not defind in the code.
strncpy(ifr.ifr_name,eth1,IFNAMSIZ);
if (ioctl(sd, SIOCGIFINDEX, &ifr) == -1) {
return 0;
}
How do I write down the DEVICE name in the ifr.ifr_name structure ?
I am having the following problem. The following code works fine on my P.C. Ubuntu x64, and on a jetway mini-itx board with an atom processor. The problem is, the same code doesn't work on the intel equivalent of the jetway board. I thought the maybe, I didn't have the port configured right, so I turned on Hardware Flow control and also tried turning on the modem bits I needed with TIOCMBIS. Neither worked. Here is the code. There are two threads, one of them, respsponding to the client, and using the RTS and DTR pins to power two relays. The other, manages listening to CTS and DSR for input. Here is the class with the first thread.

I have been struggling to get FC15 to act as an IPv6 router for a while now, am sure I am missing something trivial.. The idea is that I have a ppp / adsl connection (this works fine), use the wireless card on my pc with hostapd and dhcpd to provide connections to other pcs (works fine), and radvd to delegate ipv6 addresses.
The issue seem to be that as soon as I turn on ipv6 forwarding (net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding =1), the ppp connection no longer gets an IPv6 address. This means the router cannot ping any ipv6 address outside my network.
If I disable ipv6 routing, my router gets an IPv6 address on its ppp connection, and can ping things such as ipv6.google.com just fine, however (of course) no packets are forwarded from my network and radvd complains that forwarding is disabled.
I have a fresh installed redhat 9 with 1 network card attached may I know what command will I type to assign 10.0.0.1 on the network card?
and also when I type hostname it always reply localhost.localdomain
how can I assign a hostname
In my red hat Linux machine there was a Lan card using eth0. IP is asign to that network card and it is functioning properly. I add another ethernet card in my linux machineit was detacted and when i use the commandQuote:[root@localhost root] # ifconfig -ait show me both eth0 and eth1 lan cards.I can see Ip address in my eth1 ethernet card but When I enter into
Code:
[root@localhost root] # cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
and i use ls command it only show me the file ifcfg-eth1 and with

I am using internet in my home PC using Red Hat 9. To assign static IP to my linux machine I use "System Settings....> Network" and then double click on "eth0" to assign the static IP.Well these all settings by using GUI interface.Kindly guide me that if I use only command line interface "runlevel 1" then in that case which file should i edit and assign my static IP,Subnet Mask,Default Gateway DNS settings.2- 2nd thing is,is there any way that I may open web broswer in command line? or the administrator should only use internet on Run Level 5 ?

How do I assign IPv4 and IPv6 static addresses permanently in OpenSUSE 11.2? Currently I am only able to assign either IPv4 or IPv6 static address not both. I cannot find even the interfaces file(/etc/sysconfig/network/interfaces).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have installed Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition on Virtual Box. When I start the virtual machine I do not have connection to my home network. The router I have does not assign any IP address to this machine. Now I have some questions which I am finding hard to find answers for over the internet and other forums.
If I do have a network interface (I checked this using ifconfig -a) then is there a command to actually make the operating system connect to that network (something like repair on windows)?? Also what is the difference between a network interface with alias eth0 and eth5? I know that when it was eth0 the virtual machine used to connect to the network automatically. Now that it is eth5 it does not! I do not know however if this is related.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to modify ioctl TIOCMWAIT to return the same thing that ioctl TIOCMGET returns. Currently wait returns an int of zero or -1 when a change in status occurs. Why not make it return the new status?
This will make the operation faster by not requiring another call to ioctl.The extra call requires 2 to 16 uSeconds to complete on my x64 laptop. How would I make this proposal to the kernal people?
In practice I have a script that call a java program that call a linux system command. The script if I run it, from a shell functions well,so it is not a java problem. The problem come out when i put this script in a crontab schedulation. The result in this case is that java do not execute the system command. I think it depends on crontab
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with my ipv6 connection: although I can't get ipv6 address with DHCP, I can't use ipv6 network. I tried [URL], and the tortoise is static. I want to fix it out , so I use 'ifconfig' to see my network configuration:

inet addr:210.77.9.102 Bcast:210.77.11.255 Mask:255.255.252.0

Some people told me that the fisrt ipv6 address was wrong and unsuitable for ipv6 connecting. I tried /ect/init.d/networking restart but it didn't work. How can I use the second address as my ipv6 address and fix the problem out ? Now it seems there is not problem with the ip adress but the route. After watching some video, I suddenly could use ipv6. I did 'ifconfig' again and nothing was different. However, the result from the command 'ip -f inet6 route' changed: the last default route was gone and there was only one default route.
I want to assign a static ip address, my network/interfaces files shows
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
am I correct to add
Code:
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.42.43.10
netmask 255.255.252.0
gateway 10.42.43.1
or is there more I need?
I have set up a cloud (Ubuntu) environment in my test lad and it's working fine I am confused setting up the public IP in the production environment. The cloud instance will get only a Internal IP address ( Private) we cannot bind the Public Ip to the cloud instance as it uses Elastic IP, so I am confused how can I set up this if I have about 250 Public Ip to 250 cloud instance. How will I map this 250 Public IP with the 250 internal IPs is there any hardware device.

and nothing about IPv6... Then, using ifdown-ipv6 could i remove only the ipv6 address?
Just Installed Fedora 10 on Dell PowerEdge 2950. Installation went fine. Problem is I cannot Assign a Ip address to eth0. Service "NetworkManager " dies on its own "ifconfig eth0 192168.0.8/24" works though.

So there is a "bind to port 22 failed" probably caused by "eth0: link is not ready", but after the sshd init script fails the eth0 is ready...
I am a certified newbie into linux. I am using now ubuntu 9.04. Now here is my question. Is it possible to assign your own IP address on your ubuntu desktop, I mean a fixed IP address? Because everytime I start my computer, my internet service provider will automatically assigned a NEW IP address to my computer, but when I'm on windows the ip address is fixed.
I've installed and configured lampp and joomla. I am trying to learn how to use the joomla under ubuntu using only my computer as my local host. But when I restart my computer, the IP Address that is assigned is different to what I used when I installed joomla so I cant access my website even if I am using the same computer when I installed it. Is it possible to assign a fixed IP Address to my computer under ubuntu.
I am running Linux AS4 Update version. I have one lan card and the primary IP-Address is 192.168.0.215 & subnet is 255.255.255.0
Now I want to assign an alternative IP-Address on the same card & the IP I want to assign is 192.168.15.215.
I run the following command from root user:
Now when I ping this IP 192.168.15.215 From Windows machine then its reply me & properly reply comming from this Ip.
But when I want to access this Ip by \192.168.15.215 from run prompt then it gave me error. The specified network name is no longer available..
I already restart the machine & network service but the problem remains same.
I recently just upgraded from humble Linux user to confused Linux admin of my own virtual Linux server. When I issue the ifconfig command I get following output.
Code:

The WAN IP of the interface is not really 1.2.3.4 I just changed that IP for security reasons.What I am trying to figure out, is it possible to assign a private IP address to the same interface or can I only have one IP address per interface. I understand I have a mask of /32 so I am not going to be able to subnet the address to create any more addresses, so I assume I am stuck with the WAN IP (public IP) that I have, and just need to deal with it.
The reason I ask this is because I have been reading through several DNS/BIND tutorials/walk-throughs, and a lot of them specify setting up a intranet access with 192.168.1.1 address for the local DNS server, but since I am connecting to the sever via SSH I figure I do not need a private IP address.
