Linux problems
![[se]](/s/countries/se.gif) Carmen Sandiego on Friday, 21 March 2003 16:29:53
Following the commands listed in the FAQ for Linux New (with iproute2) everything seems good until I'm supposed to add the default route.
sm-frw1 linux # ip ro add default via 2000::/3 dev sixxs
Error: an inet address is expected rather than "2000::/3".
I've also tried to enter the remote endpoint but it gives the same error.
Im running 2.4.19-gentoo-r9, upgradeing to 2.4.20 isn't really an option.
Any help or suggestions is welcome :?

Ok, got it working using this command:
ip ro add 2000::/3 dev sixxs
Removing the 'default via' parts fixed it :D

Is wrong, you are trying to route the default route over the '2000::/3' which is not the other side of the tunnel as it's yet another prefix.
The remote endpoint work, if it didn't you typed it wrongly; maybe you added a prefixlength? The way you 'fixed' it now it is simply sending traffic destined for 2000::/3 over the link (the tunnel) and the other end simply routes it on.
With 2.4.20 and up or the USAGI patches one can use 'default' instead of 2000::/3 even when the router is in gateway (ipv6 forwarding) mode.
As the POPs drop/reject any source addresses not assigned to that endpoint the problem of sending out linklocal addresses is a non-issue.

Im running 2.4.19 at the moment and I dont really want to reboot if it can be avoided.

Then you should use a 'ip -6 ro add 2000::/3 via [POP endpoint] dev sixxs' as stated in the FAQ.
