Basic configuration

Which network segments are IPv6 ready?

Laptop term room, and 802.11 wireless segment are planned to be IPv6 ready.

IPv6 global address prefix?

3ffe:0507:01ff:0001::/64 (ethernet in laptop term room)

3ffe:0507:01ff:0002::/64 (802.11 wireless)

3ffe:0507:01ff:0004::/64 (Grand America hotel rooms)

How to configure my notebook PC?

Use IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration (RFC2462).

Quick autoconf howto: NetBSD OpenBSD FreeBSD BSD/OS Win2k WinXP Linux

How do I get static IPv6 address?

We do not do that. Autoconfigure it.

IPv6 transport-ready nameservers?

3ffe:501:4819::42

3ffe:0:1::c620:242, 198.32.2.66 (z.ip6.int)

3ffe:50e::1 (y.ip6.int)

3ffe:b00:4000::1 (x.ip6.int)

3ffe:4::4 (w.ip6.int)

Service time?

Whenever terminal cluster is running. Hopefully 24hours, starting from Sunday and terminating around Friday noon.

How to obtain IPv6 stacks and make my laptop IPv6 ready?

In general: http://www.ipv6.org/impl/index.html

BSDs: OpenBSD 2.7, NetBSD 1.5, BSD/OS 4.0, FreeBSD 4.0 or later have IPv6 stack integrated.

Linux

depends on the distribution you are using. See distribution status page and conformance test comparison page.

http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/ and http://www.linux-ipv6.org/ have more info.

WinXP: IPv6 stack is integrated.

Win2K: IPv6 research releases from MS research

Win95/98: Trumpet IPv6 or Hitachi Toolnet6

Sun Solaris: Solaris 8 has IPv6 stack integrated. more info

Any other questions?

Do not hesitate to contact ietf52@kame.net.

Stats

• # of IPv6 nodes at the venue (time: GMT)

Advanced configuration

IPv6-to-IPv4 translators?

We have installed a TCP relay translator (KAME faith implementation), for popular TCP ports. You need to change DNS server configuration to use the translator. There is no other special requirements to laptop client side.

• Set your nameserver to 3ffe:507:1ff:1::53, or 12.131.198.4
• Your tcp traffic to 3ffe:507:1ff:ffff::ipv4addr will be relayed to ipv4addr.
• Supported ports are: whois pop3 ftp telnet printer icb http https ssh smtp nntp finger cvspserver imap
• Need additional tcp port to be translated? Contact ietf52@kame.net.

Troubleshooting

I'm on wireless, no basestation visible

Did you configure 802.11 SSID (network name) to "IETF"?

I'm on wireless, IPv4 goes fine but IPv6 does not.

Maybe there's some problem with the basestation you are connected with (ethernet layer multicast turned off, preventing all IPv6 neighbor discovery process). Take note of wireless basestation ID (BSSID), and talk with NOC guys.

If you cannot get replies to ping6 ff02::1 from anyone (except yourself), it is a sign of this problem.

Details of configuration

Connectivity to the outside world?

RFC1933/ RFC2893 configured IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnel to IIJ equipment in Palo Alto, California (PAIX). IPv4 traceroute for tunnel section.

Router equipment?

NetBSD-current (1.5X, KAME IPv6 stack intergrated) running on top of Wildlab LAMB. Basically, LAMB is used as a plain 486 PC with two 10Base-T ethernet interfaces.
