Prerequisites

In order to get IPv6 working with your Fritz!Box 7270 you need to take the following steps on the SixXS website:

• First create a SixXS account.
• Request heartbeat tunnel.
• Request a subnet.

Be carefull with your ISK!

Additionally, you need a Fritz!Box 7270 with:

• At least the experimental IPv6 firmware Fritz!Box 7270 "Labor-Version 54.04.94-14338"
• Recently firmware for the international (English) Fritz!Box 7270 "Labor-Version 54.04.94-14621" was made available. [1]
• FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7270 "Laboratory version 54.04.94-15316" (at the moment the download of German version is available only), improvement: Now RFC 4861 is also supported for WANs: Neigbour Discovery for IP version 6
• At this time there's a Laboratory version 54.04.94-15316 available as well at: http://www.avm.de/en/news/artikel/IPv6_Lab.html Even Though it says it's version 14621, the package contains Laboratory version 54.04.94-15316. I(JHS7-SIXXS) am running it on my international FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7270!

At the moment the Fritz!Box 7270 supports IPv6 only. There's no test/Labor IPv6 firmware for the Fritz!Box 7170 at the moment.

There is also a Laboratory version for the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7570 VDSL available at the link above now. Using the ruKernelTool it can also be installed on the compatible Speedport W920V from Deutsche Telekom. (I am running it on the Speedport here - TSH8-SIXXS) The configuration is the same as for the 7270.

Configuration

After you have a heartbeat tunnel and a subnet attached to it, log in to your Fritz!Box. See screenshot for detailed instructions.

German

• Go to Einstellungen -> Internet -> IPv6.
• Select Unterstützung für IPv6 aktivieren.
• Select IPv6 über einen SixXS-Tunnel nutzen.
• Enter your username, password and tunnel ID.
• Click Übernehmen.

English

• Go to Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Internet -> IPv6.
• Select Enable support for IPv6.
• Select Use IPv6 via a SixXS tunnel.
• Enter your username, password and tunnel ID.
• Click Apply.

Both Languages

Now the Fritz!Box will reset and should come up with everything working. The startscreen will show IPv6 connected when ready.

Clients

Make sure to renew the DHCP lease on your local clients, as you won't get a working IPv6 address otherwise.

Testing

On Linux and Mac OS X you can test your Tunnel with ping6

$ ping6 ipv6.google.com
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 2a01:xxx:xxx::xxx:xxx:xxx:xxx --> 2001:4860:a003::68
16 bytes from 2001:4860:a003::68, icmp_seq=0 hlim=59 time=51.396 ms
16 bytes from 2001:4860:a003::68, icmp_seq=1 hlim=59 time=56.082 ms
16 bytes from 2001:4860:a003::68, icmp_seq=2 hlim=59 time=56.018 ms
16 bytes from 2001:4860:a003::68, icmp_seq=3 hlim=59 time=64.578 ms

On Solaris and OpenSolaris normal ping does ipv4 and ipv6 so you can just use ping for the same test.

Also, you can see your IPv6 address here: http://www.ipv6forum.com/test_ipv6.php

Miscellaneous

Old versions of the Fritz!Box IPv6 Labor Firmware caused the SixXS status graphics for the tunnel to show up with 100% package loss. This issue was caused by the firmware blocking incoming ICMP6 traffic to the tunnel endpoint (your local end does not respond to ping). This incompatibility with the SixXS tunnel uptime verification method showed up with firmwares up to Fritz!Box IPv6 Labor Firmware 54.04.94-13992 and was fixed in 54.04.94-14338. So make sure you update at least to that version.

See this forum discussion for more information.

FAQ

"Internetverbindung IPv6 (SixXS Tunnel) ist fehlgeschlagen. Subnetz überprüfen"

• You don't have a subnet allocated to your Tunnel or no Tunnel.
• You may haven't entered the right Tunnel-ID. In /var/flash/ar7.cfg (telnet to your box and open with nvi) theres a section "sixxs". In this section you find the date your box will use to connect to sixxs. Make sure the Tunnel-ID is right and there is no trailing "\t". This may be a Bug in Lab-Version of 7270 when copy/paste the Tunnel-ID from sixxs. You can delete the \t by webinterface.

Note: Call #96*7* to enable telnetd. Call #96*8* to disable telnetd again.
