Hello,
I'm running a CentOS 5.6 server through linode. I am atempting to configure it for ipv6, previously this had been done though not by me on a ubuntu box so the hardware can take it. I've got an ipv6 tunnel through Hurricane Electric and at a shell prompt have done the following:
ifconfig sit0 up ifconfig sit0 inet6 tunnel ::IPV4 Address ifconfig sit1 up ifconfig sit1 inet6 add IPV6 Address route -A inet6 add ::/0 dev sit1
Testing that with a ping6 works fine. I then want it to persist across reboots. So I added the following to /etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes IPV6_DEFAULTDEV=sit1
and I made /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sit1
DEVICE=sit1 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes IPV6INIT=yes IPV6TUNNELIPV4=IPV4 Address IPV6ADDR=IPV6 Address
Reboot the box, check sit1 and it has an ip address. Running that ping6 command says the network can't be reached. I have to take the interface down and rerun those above commands manually. I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks. Dave.
