Server Configuration to Tunnel Broker

Your IP address is 38.107.191.115
OVERVIEW

INTRODUCTION

This page documents the configuration of a Linux Server (Mandriva 2010) and Windows XP Pro clients for establishing an ipv4 tunnel to a tunnel broker and providing ipv6 capability to the Local Area Network (LAN).
  • I have registered for ipv6 addresses at an IPv6 Tunnel Broker (external link) (cache) and have been allocated the "Routed IPv6 Prefixes" of 2001:470:d:420::/64 and 2001:470:f083::/48.
  • Because I currently have a dynamic address assignment from my ISP, I have configured a script to update my ip address to my tunnel broker account.
  • I've also configured a script to enable ipv6 connections on my server and LAN by establishing a 6to4 tunnel (sit device) to the tunnel broker.
  • I've installed RADVD to advertise prefix 2001:470:d:420:1::1/64 on the server internal (eth1) interface so clients on this interface is allocated ipv6 addresses.
  • Service Pack 3 for Windows XP Pro is installed so that the "Microsoft TCP/IP version 6" protocol can be used to enable ipv6 capability on the LAN clients.
