Route prob? Can only ping self of POP
[gb] Shadow Hawkins on Tuesday, 15 June 2004 10:58:33
Hi, I can only ping myself or the POPs ipv6 address, looking at the other posts I get the feeling its a routing problem? How can this be fixed? Please help me Im runnin slack9 linux (kernel 2.4.20), using iproute2 sixxs Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 0A-00-01-01-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 inet6 addr: 3ffe:4005:1000:46::2/64 Scope:Global inet6 addr: fe80::514f:b13b/128 Scope:Link UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1280 Metric:1 RX packets:612 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:854 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:63416 (61.9 Kb) TX bytes:105896 (103.4 Kb) why is that 'Link encap:UNSPEC'? surely it should be 'IPv6 in IPv4'? If you need any other info tell me the command to run and I will post it up! I appreciate your help! Rick

That is not a correctly configured tunnel, read the FAQ.

Hi, I figured something was setup wrong, but I cant find what, I have read the FAq and set it up how it says, I am keeping my PC ntp synced and everything. I really appreciate your help My config script is: ip tunnel add sixxs mode sit local 81.79.34.47 remote 62.24.229.120 ip link set sixxs up ip link set mtu 1280 dev sixxs ip tunnel change sixxs ttl 64 ip -6 addr add 3ffe:4005:1000:46::2/64 dev sixxs ip -6 ro add default via 3ffe:4005:1000:46::1 dev sixxs I dont understand whats going wrong or where

I'm no expert on this, but in the absence of any other advice..... shouldnt 3ffe:4005:1000:46::2/64 be 3ffe:4005:1000:46::2/128 Thats how I've got my tunnel set up. I do have one thing to add to this however. Since moving my tunnel to Kewlio from ipng pop, I havn't been able to get connectivity until today (15th). I have my tunnel setup correctly. I could ping my IPv6 tunnel POP endpoint, and I could also ping other peoples POP and tunnel endpoints, but my packets would never get routed out onto the net. I disabled the tunnel and waited for the pings to time out, and then reenabled it to see if it would reenter the routing info correctly but that didn't work. Then today it just started working out onto the net. I now have it working beautifully. My endpoint is 3ffe:4005:1000:40::2 Can you ping that if you can't ping anything else. Graham

ok its really starting to annoy me now, i have been playing around with it trying to get it to work and I have probably made it worse! if i set it to /128 instead of 64 I cant do the last command, setting the 'via' (gateway). Graham are you using 'ip' or ifconfig? I think my NAT is messed up as well because I cant even ping pop anymore, NAT is done on hardware router that is crap and I cant do much about, but I will carry on trying. also sometimes when I try to ping6 it says ping: bind icmp socket: Invalid argument great eh?

Sorry Richard, Like I said I am no expert and didn't want to make things worse for you. I'm using freebsd so the tunnel setup is all handled for me by the networking scripts. Here's my Freebsd setup using rc.conf ipv6_enable="YES" gif_interfaces="gif0" gifconfig_gif0="217.151.96.239 62.24.229.120" ipv6_network_interfaces="gif0" ipv6_ifconfig_gif0="3ffe:4005:1000:40::2 3ffe:4005:1000:40::1 prefixlen 128" ipv6_defaultrouter="3ffe:4005:1000:40::1" Which now works fine. When you had it set to /64 could you ping your own endpoint, i.e is the tunnel up. If so can you then ping my endpoint, suggesting that your default route is ok. If so, can you ping noc.sixxs.net. This is where mine was falling over. I could ping my own tunnel and other peoples endpoints, just no further. Graham

Richard, is your tunnel enabled. I can't even ping the POP endpoint for you, let alone your endpoint. I can ping 3ffe:4005:1000:40::1 3ffe:4005:1000:44::1 3ffe:4005:1000:38::1 which must be other tunnels POP endpoints, but not 3ffe:4005:1000:46::1 Graham

If it really is a POP problem why did you not email the staff like mentioned when one tries to post " Operational issues, abuse and other questions should be directed to the contact address." ? :)

Could this be the first time where it is the POP and not the user? (I doubt it, more likely Im gonna look the fool!)

I'm no expert here and am out of my depth as I know nothing about the heartbeat system, but why isnt your ipv4 endpoint listed. Is the heartbeat something to do with dynamic endpoints. My setup looks like this. The configuration for this tunnel looks like: POP Description Kewlio.net Limited POP Location London, United Kingdom (Great Britain) POP IPv4 62.24.229.120 Your Location London, United Kingdom (Great Britain) Your IPv4 217.151.96.239 IPv6 Prefix 3ffe:4005:1000:40::1/64 POP IPv6 3ffe:4005:1000:40::1 Your IPv6 3ffe:4005:1000:40::2 Last Alive 2004-06-15 23:17:22 Last Dead 2004-06-07 13:47:22 State Enabled

I only have one thing to say: Read the FAQ: My heartbeat tunnel doesn't work

[gb] Shadow Hawkins on Tuesday, 15 June 2004 23:58:33
because I have a dynamic IPv4 it uses the 'heartbeat' system, a program that runs on my system updating the settings telling the server my IPv4 address

(Yes I had to type it out...if I tried to use ssh then that came up in the dump and made it awkward, there probably was a way around it but I couldnt be bothered, it was easier to type it) Check for Proto-41 activity...how?

Well you could for starters configure your heartbeat client correctly by setting the hb_behindnat option to 1... which you would most people could have told you. Then again that is even more obvious than that Harry Potter 3 movie because it is in the docs ;)

"tcpdump -i eth0 not port 22" is harderd than typing it... hmm ;)
Check for Proto-41 activity...how?
The same as the above one, which will show you all the traffic. man tcpdump for more information ;) You did btw notice the string mentioning "Operational issues, abuse and other questions should be directed to the contact address." when you try to reply ? :)

Like when you are at the shrink, they want you to explain your problem, complaining that you have a problem doesn't lead anywhere. Aka... interface and routing tables, configuration information (heartbeat configs) and of course our beloved tcpdumps. Without that there is no help just like there is no spoon.

the truth is there is not spoon....i like it.... never mind mate...it seems to be working ok now.....*crosses his fingers and touches some wood* I really do appreciate your help...both of you :) thanks a lot!
