Hello!
I'm having problems with my ipv6 setup. I'm developing a kind of network
analyzer, and I'm building ipv6 support for it. Now, I'm capturing the
packets from a network interface, using ppp. For some reason, I couldn't
get any ipv6 packets through. All I get is a couple of broadcasts, when I
bring up the link. Seems like they are some kind of router discovery
ICMPv6 messages. I have no routers, though. How can I disable this kind of
behaviour? I'd just like to connect two hosts using ipv6 over PPP.
I also get
ppp0: No ipv6 routers found
messages in the system log.
The distribution I'm using is Redhat 6.2-based. I have installed the
initscripts from Peter Bieringer's website. Kernel version is 2.4.7 and
ppp version is 2.4.1. I have compiled pppd myself, to enable ipv6
support.
Here's my /etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4="no"
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes # Enable global IPv6 initialization
#NETWORKING_IPV6=no # Disable global IPv6 initialization [default]
#IPV6_TUNNELMODE="IP" # separate tunnel device mode [default]
#IPV6_TUNNELMODE="NBMA" # NBMA-styled tunnel mode
#IPV6FORWARDING=yes # Enable global IPv6 forwarding
IPV6FORWARDING=no # Disable global IPv6 forwarding [default]
#IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes # Enable global IPv6 autoconfiguration (only, if global forwarding
is disabled) [default]
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no # Disable global IPv6 autoconfiguration (only, if global forwarding
is disabled)
#IPV6_AUTOTUNNEL=yes # Enable automatic IPv6 tunneling
IPV6_AUTOTUNNEL=no # Disable automatic IPv6 tunneling [default]
HOSTNAME="xxxx"
GATEWAY="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
GATEWAYDEV="eth0"
NISDOMAIN=""
IPX="no"
IPXINTERNALNETNUM="0"
IPXINTERNALNODENUM="0"
IPXAUTOPRIMARY="on"
IPXAUTOFRAME="on"
and here's what I have in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0:
--------8<-------
DEVICE="ppp0"
BOOTPROTO="none"
ONBOOT="no"
IPV6INIT="yes"
IPV6FORWARDING="no"
IPV6TO4INIT="no"
-------->8--------
Am I missing something? The other options are commented out.
