openwrt router works, linux box doesnt.

[slaxative]

I can ping6 anything with open wrt router.
I am unable to ping6 anything with Linux box.

                AdvAutonomous on;
                AdvRouterAddr off;
        };

};

This is the error I get while pinging from the Linux box to any ipv6 host.
PING irc.ipv6.he.net(irc.ipv6.he.net) 56 data bytes
From 2001:470:f001::1 icmp_seq=1 Destination unreachable: No route

The forwarding setting below is enabled.
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding


Thank you for any help offered.

[broquea]

maybe assign 2001:470:f001:beef::1/64 to br-lan instead of 2001:470:f001::1/48 ?
also you default points to link-local, shouldn't it be the br-lan assigned address?

[slaxative]

Assigned the /64 to br-lan.
How do i modify the route to the correct host?
Shouldnt radvd take care of that?

[broquea]

yes, it should, i thought it odd that it would choose link-local

You can try restarting the linux machine's networking (/etc/init.d/network restart) and seeing if it picks up the correct information.
Or remove and setting the default route by hand (ip route del default dev eth0 ; ip route ::/0 dev eth0).

Also in all my configurations of radvd, I have "AdvRouterAddr" set to on. Maybe change yours from off to on and restart that linux machines networkiing

[slaxative]

Adjusted the line in radvd with no luck.
Still cant ping anything from Linux....

[slaxative]

Ok, I finally figured it out.
The line to forward ipv6 must be before you setup the tunnel on the router...
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding
This MUST be done before the tunnel is setup on openwrt Kamikaze 7.09.
This works fine now.

[slaxative]

Thanks again for your help, by the way.

[kriteknetworks]

Defnitely before radvd is started since radvd will fail to start when it checks if forwarding is enabled and finds it off.

I was having a similar problem to the first poster who couldn't ping an IPv6 host. I ended up having to change

Code:

route -A inet6 add ::/0 dev sit1

into

Code:

route -A inet6 add 2000::/3 sit1

like broquea suggested (worked like a charm btw =D). Now I'm having a problem where I cannot use any ip except 2001:470:1f04:1f8::2. I know my way around linux, just not very well so any help on how to fix this would be really appreciated. I'm running Ubuntu, uname -a is Linux planck 2.6.20-15-generic.

Ok, I finally figured it out.

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding
This MUST be done before the tunnel is setup on openwrt Kamikaze 7.09.
This works fine now.

So how did you fix that?  Did you move the echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding from the /etc/init.d/radvd script to the beginning of your tunnel script?

What's the working order for setting up the tunnel, starting radvd, etc.?

I have a similar problem as you, but I can ping from the router and the LAN but any attempt to access IPv6 web sites times out.

My /etc/rc.d now looks like this:

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Sep  9  2008 S40network -> /etc/init.d/network
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           20 Sep  9  2008 S45firewall -> /etc/init.d/firewall
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           23 Jan  1  2000 S47wlmacfilter -> /etc/init.d/wlmacfilter
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           22 Jan  1  2000 S48tunhe-ipv6 -> /etc/init.d/tunhe-ipv6
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           17 Jan  1  2000 S49radvd -> /etc/init.d/radvd

and I copied echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding to the beginning of my tunnel script.

Code:

#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common
LOCALIP=x.x.x.x
POPIP=x.x.x.x
LOCTUN=2001:0db8:1234:4::2
REMTUN=2001:0db8:1234:4::1
START=48

start() {
        echo -n "Starting TunnelBroker.net IPv6 tunnel: "
        echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding
        ip tunnel add he-ipv6 mode sit local $LOCALIP remote $POPIP
        ip link set he-ipv6 up
        #ip link set mtu 1280 dev he-ipv6
        #ip tunnel change he-ipv6 ttl 64
        ip -6 addr add $LOCTUN/64 dev he-ipv6
        ip -6 ro add default via $REMTUN dev he-ipv6
        #ip -f inet6 addr
        echo "Done."
}
stop() {
        echo -n "Stopping TunnelBroker.net IPv6 tunnel: "
        ip link set he-ipv6 down
        ip tunnel del he-ipv6
        echo "Done."
}
restart() {
        stop
        start
}

But, I still get sketchy routing/connectivity.

Also in all my configurations of radvd, I have "AdvRouterAddr" set to on.

I also added this setting to my /etc/radvd.conf and now my default router shows up as the non-link-local address.  I still have sketchy IPv6 performance however.
