| sicelo | mmm, i am connected to a router with IPv6 dhcp enabled. now, i don't really have IPv6 experiences, as we still have a few IPv4 available in our block (Africa/Swaziland). How do I get an IPv6 LAN address on my laptop? | 19:18 |
| KotCzarny | ip -6 a s | 19:19 |
| sicelo | i understand it won't help me with IPv6 on the Internet, as the ISP is IPv4 only | 19:19 |
| sicelo | yes, that command shows me that i only have link-local, fe80 | 19:19 |
| sicelo | how do i request dhcp6 address? | 19:20 |
| KotCzarny | dhcpcd/dhclient ? | 19:20 |
| KotCzarny | pinging ff02::2 i think also gives some hints about network | 19:20 |
| KotCzarny | or something | 19:20 |
| KotCzarny | unfortunatelly ipv6 is broken on my sysarm server | 19:21 |
| sicelo | let me check my dhclient config then | 19:23 |
| KotCzarny | but usually you get assigned some range, and use that | 19:23 |
| sicelo | here,'s the router config. http://pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=aef1cf7ec6fc34294c310ab31777ed6c | 19:28 |
| sicelo | anything incorrect/missing that you see there? | 19:28 |
| KotCzarny | interface address is empty | 19:28 |
| sicelo | i noticed. wasn't sure if something's needed there however. i would guess it should have some sort of sensible default | 19:29 |
| KotCzarny | yeah, usually the range you have got assigned from provider | 19:29 |
| KotCzarny | (thats my guess) | 19:29 |
| KotCzarny | unless it's for ipv6 nat (although that would be an abomination) | 19:30 |
| sicelo | i see. since ISP isn't assigning me IPv6, then i'd have nothing here. so i should use my own 'internet' range, i guess | 19:31 |
| KotCzarny | does that router connect to ipv6 via some tunnel? | 19:33 |
| KotCzarny | or you just want to play with local lan ipv6? | 19:33 |
| sicelo | just want local. there's no tunnel, although i could look for one ... no idea if it would have any practical value besides just learning | 19:35 |
| KotCzarny | well, you could connect from the world to your local device with ipv6 | 19:35 |
| KotCzarny | one could think of ipv6 as public humungous vpn ;) | 19:36 |
| sicelo | :) | 19:38 |
| sicelo | i think i have an account with he.net. i recall they are a tunnel broker. | 19:39 |
| KotCzarny | there is a chance your router support tunnels too | 19:40 |
| sicelo | yes, i saw it somewhere | 19:40 |
| sicelo | mmm, now i have an IPv6, but not Ipv6 traffic working | 20:35 |
| sicelo | i used tunnelbroker, and everything worked well | 20:35 |
| sicelo | i guess im not configuring the router correclty | 20:42 |
| sicelo | works when i use it directly only the laptop | 20:49 |
| sicelo | giving up on the router .. would have been nice to get in ipv6 on all devices, but i can't figure out where i'm going wrong. router's a TP-Link TD-W8960N | 21:38 |
| sixwheeledbeast | ew.. tp-link | 21:51 |
| sicelo | looks like my main issue is that, at least so far, i don't have somewhere in the router to add a default ipv6 gateway | 22:03 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Use stateful with DHCPv6, does the ruoter have a ipv6 WAN ip? | 22:04 |
| sicelo | trying stateful now. yes i have been given an ipv6 wan ip from the tunnel | 22:07 |
| sixwheeledbeast | so this isn't native v6? it's 6in4 or the like? | 22:09 |
| sicelo | yes, 6in4, via tunnelbroker | 22:10 |
| sicelo | works fine if i use the details on the laptop. on the router i can't really get it working yet. pebkac, i am sure, but no idea what i could be doing wrong. then again, my ipv6 experience/knowledge is really minimal | 22:12 |
| sixwheeledbeast | i used sixxs for years until it closed no problem | 22:13 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I am not sure on tp link but it sounds like the ipv6 wan settings are not set up | 22:15 |
| sixwheeledbeast | it maybe possible the router doesn't support tunnel accounts | 22:16 |
| sicelo | ok. solved/(not) ... this router does 6rd, and tunnelbroker doesn't support that, at least if the answer in https://forums.he.net/index.php?topic=3764.0 is correct | 22:16 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I have Dray and used AICCU | 22:18 |
| sixwheeledbeast | If using a tunnel the router needs the account details to connect | 22:18 |
| sicelo | i will use it on laptop only for now. | 22:22 |
| sixwheeledbeast | this a isp provided router? | 22:25 |
| sicelo | yes. ISP is not IPv6-enabled yet | 22:26 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Looking at the router manual it has no IPv6 WAN options, it would need a native v6 or 6in4. | 22:31 |
| sicelo | yes, i supposed tunnelbroker was 6in4, or i misunderstood something? | 22:32 |
| sicelo | i won't buy a better router. this is a shared connection with the other apartments/houses around the premises. i don't really wish to take on the responsibility of maintaining/managing the network. i do have access to the router, and i've setup a few things that suit me, as long as i don't disadvantage 'regularr' users | 22:33 |
| sixwheeledbeast | sicelo: Yeah you need a router with WAN connection options on v6, like https://unsee.cc/7ed0fcc1/ for example | 22:56 |
| sicelo | i think the one that was hit by lightning had it :-p | 22:57 |
| sixwheeledbeast | was it completely cooked or just the modem dead? | 23:00 |
| sicelo | modem dead. other functions were still working. but it was returned to ISP, and exchanged for this TP-LINK | 23:04 |
| sicelo | still. i've learned something in the last few hours, and yes, my laptop is accessible via ipv6 | 23:07 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Was wondering if you could use the tp-link as modem for your old router. | 23:23 |
| sicelo | that idead came to my mind when you asked, but yeah, it's gone | 23:33 |
