Hello all Is there IPv6 support in Xen? I did''nt found any information about that. Thx Marco _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

There''s some extra config you have to go through to get it to work - the default bridge config breaks ipv6 in the domU, so you have to set that up manually, as in the post here http://www.linux.ie/lists/pipermail/ilug/2007-May/093320.html (I''m sure there''s a post on this list detailing what''s wrong with the bridge but I can''t find it right now). You also have to make sure you fix the mac addresses of all the domU interfaces otherwise their ipv6 addresses will change with each reboot.

Another solution which works for me, is an IPv6 v4tunnel via sixxs.net tunnel broker.

But it is enabled as a module in the standard XenSource distribution, so if that''s where you''re getting the binaries, it should work. -- Mats _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Xen doesn''t have todo anything special - its just providing a generic network device. I''m running all my guests bridged to the LAN so they autoconfigure themselves with global IPv6 addresses, no manual setup required other than NETWORKING_IPV6=yes in the /etc/sysconfig/network file on Fedora.
