Hello
Any help for the followign questions will be appreicated:
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
The radvd application fails to start saying that ipv6 forwarding is not enabled.
To enable IPv6 forwarding, I dont see any forwarding option in /proc/sys/net/ipv6/.
I am running Linux kernel version 2.6.14 under Debian Sarge 3.1,
PROBLEM DETAIL:
I am experimenting with IPv6 and trying to establish an IPv6 test network.
For this purpose I have 3 Linux (all running kernel version 2.6.14 ) machines with one representing a ROUTER (and has 3 Ethernet interfaces). Eth0 is connected to the Internet, eth1 to HOST_A (which represents NETWORK A) and eth2 to HOST_B (which represents NETWORK B).
I have been able to successfully establish a 6to4 tunnel using Freenet6 TSPC program. Now I want to configure the ROUTER and for that I installed the radvd application, made a /etc/radvd.conf file, but when I try to run the radvd application bz executing:
~# radvd C /etc/radvd.conf
I get the meesage that radvd fails to start as IPv6 forwarding is not enabled. so how to enable forwarding as there i cant see any forwarding command.
QUESTION ABOUT radvd:
I assumed that upon the installation of radvd (using apt-get install radvd), the follwoign files should be automatically created:
/etc/radvd.conf
/var/run/radvd/radvd.pid
/var/log/radvd.log
/usr/sbin/radvd
But there is nothing created upon radvd istallation. So I manually create the /etc/radvd.conf file. Do I need to do the same for the other files, i.e., manually create them, or they will be created automatically once radvd is executed and starts to run
Please note that I am not a linux guru J and your help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
Zarrar
