setting up host ipv6 with SLAAC or DHCPv6

descr

see https://ansible.nethence.com/tests/network_ipv6/README.html ==> static vs. persistent ip6 addressen

slaac

see https://ansible.nethence.com/tests/network_ipv6/docs/slaac.html

dhcpv6

see https://ansible.nethence.com/tests/network_ipv6/docs/dhcpv6.html

ready to go

slackware

enable SLAAC at boot-time

vi /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1

echo slaac and obtain ip6 gateway
echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/$nic/accept_ra

enable DHCPv6 at boot-time – WARNING -P brings ia-pd not ia-na

vi /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1

echo obtain ip6 gateway
echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/$nic/accept_ra

echo define host ip6
ifconfig $nic inet6 add x::x/56 up

echo -n obtain persistent DELEGATION with dhcp6 duid ...
dhclient -cf /etc/dhclient6.conf -6 -P $nic -v && echo done || echo FAIL

status

ifconfig
ps auxfww | grep dhclient

stop

ip addr del x::x/56 dev $nic
dhclient -x -pf /var/run/dhclient6.pid
pkill dhclient

acceptance

who’s your router

#netstat -rn --inet6 | grep ^::/0
ip -6 neigh show
ping6 ...

grab some advertisements from the network

tcpdump -vvvv -ttt -i $nic icmp6 and 'ip6[40] = 134'

apt install radvdump
radvdump

everything is good?

cat /etc/resolv.conf
ping6 2001:bc8:401::3
ping6 2001:bc8:1::16
ping6 ipv6.google.com
traceroute6 ipv6.google.com
curl -si www.kame.net | grep /img/kame

additional notes

other means of enforcing RA over forwarding

#sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_ra=2
#echo net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_ra = 2 >> /etc/sysctl.conf
#sysctl -p

to entirely disable IPv6 at boot time

disable_ipv6=1

and to disable IPv6 while the system is running

sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1
