Sample configuration for testing IPv6

This basic configuration for testing IPv6 in Abiquo is a VM with radvd and dhcpd6. And a VM with dhclient ipv6 enabled.

Router

In our example the router has an IPv6 address of 2001:db8:0:1::1230/64 (eth1).

Radvd configuration

A typical configuration for a eth1 that has an IPv6 address of 2001:db8:0:1::1230/64.

/etc/radvd.conf

# Router advertisment is performed (listen and send) on eth1
interface eth1 
{
    # We are sending advertisments (route)
    AdvSendAdvert on;
    
    # When set, host use the administered (stateful) protocol
    # for address autoconfiguration. The use of this flag is
    # described in RFC 4862. DHCPv6 provides IP address
    AdvManagedFlag on;
    
    # When set, host use the administered (stateful) protocol
    # for address autoconfiguration. For other (non-address)
    # information. DHCPv6 provides DNS and domain prefix for example.
    # The use of this flag is described in RFC 4862
    AdvOtherConfigFlag on;
    
    # Netmask length must be "/64"
    # (see RFC 2462, sect 5.5.3, page 18)
    prefix 2001:db8:0:1::/64 
    {
       # Says to hosts:
       # "Everything sharing this prefix is on the
       # same link as you."
       AdvOnLink on;
       
       # Says to hosts:
       # Use the address DHCPv6 gave you.
       AdvAutonomous off;
    };
    
    # Yet another prefix
    prefix 2001:db:1:0::/64
    {
       # Says to hosts:
       # "Everything sharing this prefix is on the
       # same link as you."
       AdvOnLink on;
       
       # Says to hosts:
       # "Use the prefix to autoconfigure your address"
       AdvAutonomous off;
    };
};

DHCPv6

A DHCPv6 listening in the eth1. A minimal configuration.

/etc/dhcp/dhcpd6.conf

omapi-port 7911;


subnet6 2001:db8:0:1::/64 {
}
