[SLUG] ip6tables config tutorial ... ?
Can I ask has anyone come across a concise, clear ip6tables tutorial pls? And if so, can you point me to it? Or is it simply a case of std. iptables rules (with the exception of a few - ipv6 specific - 'match' parameters) AND modules (namely ip_conntrack, ip_nat, etc.) just work with ip6tables so long as you obviously substitute any IP's you might have in your script with ipv6 format addresses? -- Kind Regards Kyle -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

There is no fundamental difference between firewalling IPv6 and IPv4 other than the small number of reserved/local address ranges, etc. Any tutorial covering IPv4 and iptables can be trivially extended to IPv6 by substituting the equivalent ip6tables command in most cases.

Correct -- assuming you are running a sufficiently recent kernel that the IPv4 and IPv6 merge happened in the iptables subsystem; if not I strongly advise you to upgrade before you do more firewall work.

Thanks Daniel, doing a CentOS 5.2 install, so I expect that to have been taken care of.
