Networking :: Unable To Get IPv6 Addresses Using Ioctl()
Feb 4, 2011
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>
[Code]....

I have retrieved IPv4 address successfully using
Code:
struct ifreq ifr;
fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
ifr.ifr_addr.sa_family = AF_INET;
ioctl(fd, SIOCGIFADDR, &ifr)
for IPv6 address I tried

I'm trying to assign like 80 IPv6 addresses on eth0 for virtual webhosting, but after 55 addresses I get the following error:# ip addr add 2a01:9f8:a171:1651::4b:a8af dev eth0 RTNETLINK answers: File exists.What's the problem? I don't understand that error message at all. Is the number of IPv6 addresses per device somehow limited?Ubuntu 10.4.1 server, 64 bit.

Does anyone know if there is any way to configure 50K "virtual" IPv6 addresses on loopback device in Linux?
The aim is not to add all 50K IPv6 addresses one by one on the loopback/ETH device which will probably mess up the ip table on the system. In IPv4, I am able to achieve that by specifying the IP address subnet on loopback device (e.g: "ip addr add 10.1.0.0/16 dev lo"). The same command does not seem to work the same way for IPv6. It only adds a single IPv6 address on loopback device and it automatically adds an "unreachable route" entry on the ipv6 route table for that IPv6 network prefix.
The reason I need this is because I am working on an application which tries to simulate 50K IPv6 addresses on a single Linux box. The kernel version I am currently using is RHEL 2.6.9.55.

We have connected two systems with ethernet cables and have configured the two systems with ipv6 addresses. The IP of one system is 2001:0db8:0:f101::1 (let's say X::1) (This system runs OS Fedora 10) and the other is 2001:0db8:0:f101::2. (Let's say X::2) (This system runs OpenSuSE 10.3) We are able to ping from both systems to the other. We are able to ssh into the one with IP X::2 from the one with IP X::1, but not vice versa.
We have disabled iptables on both systems by using the following commands:
/etc/init.d/iptables save
/etc/init.d/iptables stop
on the fedora 10 system and
# iptables -X
# iptables -t nat -F
# iptables -t nat -X
# iptables -t mangle -F
# iptables -t mangle -X
# iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
# iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
# iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
on the openSuse system.
The error we get in trying to ssh from the openSuse system to the fedora system is:
ssh: connect to host 2001:0db8:0:f101::1 port 22: Connection refused
We're trying to write server and client code to send data from one system to the other using SOCK_DGRAM. The code works fine when we run both the client and server on the same system. However, we are not able to send data from one system to another when we use the IPv6 addresses to run the client and server programs.
The error we get is:
sendto(): Operation not permitted
The codes we are using for the server and client programs can be found here in beej's guide here : [URL]. We've only substituted the appropriate addresses in the right places... We've disabled the iptables...

I am trying to use link scope IPv6 addresses to permit two machines to connect using IPv6, but I cannot figure out how to do it without specifying the interface to use on every connection. Here is an example ping:
[root@ppatel-brn1 ~]# ping6 -c 3 fe80::204:75ff:feb6:2994
connect: Invalid argument
[root@ppatel-brn1 ~]# ping6 -c 3 -I eth0 fe80::204:75ff:feb6:2994
PING fe80::204:75ff:feb6:2994(fe80::204:75ff:feb6:2994) from fe80::214:22ff:febd:7c1f eth0: 56 data bytes

I am trying to configure my IPv6 network. My computers are behind a Fedora gateway IPv6-configured, which is working great. But for computers inside my network, it seems I am getting only internal addresses from DHCP. Here is my ifconfig for an internal computer:

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).

I 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?

I used to play with gw6c ( a client for tunnel broker ) It works well with fedora9 , fedora 10, but not with leonidas. my rpm is gw6c-6.0-0.4.beta4.fc9.i386.rpm ( a little old!) when I tried to install i have got this: libcrypto.so.7 est ncessaire pou w6c-6.0-0.4.beta4.fc9.i386 I try to make a soft link to libcrypto.so.0.9.8k, but nothing; The question :-Is there a solution for that pb - did you know a better client for non native ipv6 connectivity?

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'm running Ubuntu 10.4 and I've tried disabling IPv6 as I don't currently need it. I rand the following to disable IPv6 and then rebooted my server:
echo "#disable ipv6" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
echo "net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
echo "net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
echo "net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
After the reboot I can see that IPv& is disabled by running:
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6
On running netstat -antlp i see that most of the IPv6 applications have closed but SSHd keeps running:
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9090 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 663/java
[Code]....
Ho can I close the SSH daemon on port 22 of the IPv6?

I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on my laptop. My ISP natively supports ipv6, but since last weekend, I do not get an ipv6 ip. When I use a live cd however, I do get an ipv6 ip. For as far as I can see, all settings (/etc/network/interface and the settings in network manager) are exactly the same.
Output of ifconfig:
Code:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
inet addr:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX Bcast:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX Mask:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
inet6 addr: XXXX::XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
[Code].....
EDIT: is there a way to let the netwerk be automatically configured as happens during installation? It would be nice to start with a clean and new set of network config files as there were just after I installed Ubuntu on my system, without a full reinstall of my system.

I 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:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:8d:ef:dd:06
inet addr:210.77.9.102 Bcast:210.77.11.255 Mask:255.255.252.0
inet6 addr: 2002:d24d:b64:4:250:8dff:feef:dd06/64 Scope:Global
[code]....
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 have installed Bind 9.6.1 on my linux pc. I have to resolve domain name using IPv6 address. I have made following entry in the /etc/resolv.conf file code...
address of the machine on which Bind is running. The problem is that I am not able to ping open-ims.test domain name. If I use IPv4, everything works fine but how to ping domain using IPv6.
I have also made changes in dnszone file by replacing IPv4 address with IPv6 address and also changing A to AAAA.

Is it possible to configure two IP addresses using one NIC? I'm implementing a VPN server on network 192.168.1.0, ultimately to be accessed over the Internet and through an ADSL router with port-forwarding to the server. Right now I'd like to test it on the LAN, but with the VPN client and server both on the 192.168.1.0 network, that test would not be be valid.
If I had a spare NIC I could put the server on both the 192.168.1.0 network and, say, a 10.0.0.0 network, configure the client on 10.0.0.0 and test. Not having a spare NIC, I'm wondering if it is possible to configure the server with two IP addressese NIC.Virtualising hosts are able to do something similar when running guests with NICs in bridged mode. Log files show they switch eth0 into promiscuouse.In case it matters the server OS is Slackware 13.0.

The goal: ipv6 connectivity using 6to4 The problem: no connectivity on some internal hosts (mixed win & debian) and no ipv6-web access on any host. Let's start with my external box. It is headless debian lenny dhcp/local-dns & cache/firewall. It has the following interfaces after a reboot:
[Code]...
My understanding is that ipv6 will auto-configure itself and that the radvd file is all that is needed by the external host to give all the ipv6 enabled internal hosts ipv6 web access. My question: How is my external host misconfigured? Or are the problems specific to the internal hosts? I am assuming that I have issues on both the external and internal hosts since some of the internals have golobal ipv6 address and some don't. I do however wish to address the external host first.

I have a host and typing ifconfig I get:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0E:7F:4F:E4:09
inet addr:130.130.9.9 Bcast:130.130.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0
inet6 addr: fe80::20e:7fff:fe4f:e409/64 Scope:Link
[code]...
and to do a test i want to disable or delete the ipv6 address, but mainteining the other configured parameters. Looking on the ifcfg config file I have
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=130.130.255.255
[code]....
and nothing about IPv6... Then, using ifdown-ipv6 could i remove only the ipv6 address?

I have a server application that uses loopback addresses to open servers on linux machine.
For IPv4 with one line of configuration I can open many servers according to the mask I use for example with 10.10.10.0/24 I can open 254 servers.
How can I do the same for IPv6 ? I am able to add loopback interfaces but only for one host. Is it possible to add for a subnet ?
If not what is the max number of addresses that I can add ?
I also saw that it add the address only to loopback lo and I can add it to lo:3 for example.
