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.
View 1 RepliesDo any one knows how to ping global inet6 addresses assigned between two systems. I assigned inet6 address through "ip addr add 2001::4 dev eth0" and similarly 2001::5 in another machine and tried to ping 2001::5 from 2001::4, but it is showing,
sait87@static-host:~$ ping6 2001::5
connect: Network is unreachable
Do any one knows solution for this problem.
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>

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:

connect: Invalid argument
[root@ppatel-brn1 ~]# ping6 -c 3 -I eth0 fe80::204:75ff:feb6:2994

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 Server 10.10 on a 64 bit laptop (also have GNOME installed just for convenience), and have a website up using apache2. I am wondering if it is possible to configure both eth0 and wlan0 to the same local static IP address? I would like to walk around my house and do stuff when I want and still have the website accessible, but also be able to jack my laptop back into the router when I am away, just for peace of mind.
Is this possible? If it is, do I need to do some configuring in apache2 to tell it to use another device? Is this even a smart way to get what I want done?

My wi-fi card is AW-NE770 from AzureWave (mini-pci on Zotac Atom motherboard). I have successfully configured wireless connection to my router. Unfortunately, after short period of time connection drops. When I restart /etc/network/interfaces all goes back to normal. When connection is dropped, iwconfig shows that access point is not assigned. I have already tried installing backport drivers, removing security on the network (WEP and WPA), assigning static IP or using DHCP. Nothing works.

On Fedora 13 is there anywhere else on the system that I have to change to get Apache to Listen to an assigned port, something other than 80. Suppose for instance I wanted Apache to Listen on port 94. I told by the site that their router is forwarding apache to port 94. That doesn't mean I change the Listen in httpd.conf. correct. Apache is still expecting connection on port 80 but in this case 80 then gets forwarded in the router to 94. This is my understanding.

I cannot connect to wirelessly when I have IPv6 enabled for the wireless network card. It works great on ethernet, but if I enable it for the wireless card then I cannot even get IPv4.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a small wireless network running IPv6 connected though a 802.15.4 usb stick, and a network connection through eth1. I can access the nodes on the wireless network from my computer, but not from any other on the wired LAN. Also the nodes on the wireless cannot see even the address of eth1. I'm guessing i have to forward all packets from the wireless to eth1 in some way, but am unable to find an guides for this with IPv6.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've just started using ufw with the frontend gufw. I've configured it like this:
Accept everything in and out as default Block incoming FTP connections from a certain IPv4 address (brute-force for days)
Today I noticed that IPv6 connections don't work anymore. The connection to two hosts (IPv6 only) times out. As soon as I disable ufw entirely, the connections work again. The host I want to connect to is:
2001:638:a00:f00b:200:1cff:fedb:d38f port 7337
2001:638:a00:f00b:a00:6ff:fe07:cda2 port 7337
These are small telnet servers that print out a number (temperature nearby) and close again. I'm logging those values in a database.
Is ufw not IPv6-capable and blocks things it's not supposed to?
Update: ufw seems complete garbage to me... You can't even configure it while it's disabled! How am I supposed to safely activate it when the first thing it does is blocking all communications? I can't even configure it to let me in before I configure it to keep me out... And then, even if I explicitly let it pass port 7337, it still blocks it through IPv6.
I've been using IPv6 on my local network and through a Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel. I've heard that one of the built in features of IPv6 is encryption, both scrambling the data and authenticating where the traffic came from. I've done some searching and heard of SWAN and Racoon, but some of the stuff I found is old and I would like to know what the easiest/best way to set up IPSEC for IPv6 is.
