Oct 11 06:40:59 <sicelo> microsoft :-/
Oct 11 17:18:53 <sicelo> mmm, i am connected to a router with IPv6 dhcp enabled. now, i don't really have IPv6 experiences, as we still have a few IPv4 available in our block (Africa/Swaziland). How do I get an IPv6 LAN address on my laptop?
Oct 11 17:19:18 <KotCzarny> ip -6 a s
Oct 11 17:19:25 <sicelo> i understand it won't help me with IPv6 on the Internet, as the ISP is IPv4 only
Oct 11 17:19:45 <sicelo> yes, that command shows me that i only have link-local, fe80
Oct 11 17:20:03 <sicelo> how do i request dhcp6 address?
Oct 11 17:20:16 <KotCzarny> dhcpcd/dhclient ?
Oct 11 17:20:51 <KotCzarny> pinging ff02::2 i think also gives some hints about network
Oct 11 17:20:57 <KotCzarny> or something
Oct 11 17:21:11 <KotCzarny> unfortunatelly ipv6 is broken on my sysarm server
Oct 11 17:23:00 <sicelo> let me check my dhclient config then
Oct 11 17:23:50 <KotCzarny> but usually you get assigned some range, and use that
Oct 11 17:28:01 <sicelo> here,'s the router config. http://pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=aef1cf7ec6fc34294c310ab31777ed6c
Oct 11 17:28:13 <sicelo> anything incorrect/missing that you see there?
Oct 11 17:28:54 <KotCzarny> interface address is empty
Oct 11 17:29:30 <sicelo> i noticed. wasn't sure if something's needed there however. i would guess it should have some sort of sensible default
Oct 11 17:29:49 <KotCzarny> yeah, usually the range you have got assigned from provider
Oct 11 17:29:58 <KotCzarny> (thats my guess)
Oct 11 17:30:55 <KotCzarny> unless it's for ipv6 nat (although that would be an abomination)
Oct 11 17:31:14 <sicelo> i see. since ISP isn't assigning me IPv6, then i'd have nothing here. so i should use my own 'internet' range, i guess
Oct 11 17:33:05 <KotCzarny> does that router connect to ipv6 via some tunnel?
Oct 11 17:33:19 <KotCzarny> or you just want to play with local lan ipv6?
Oct 11 17:35:04 <sicelo> just want local. there's no tunnel, although i could look for one ... no idea if it would have any practical value besides just learning
Oct 11 17:35:47 <KotCzarny> well, you could connect from the world to your local device with ipv6
Oct 11 17:36:40 <KotCzarny> one could think of ipv6 as public humungous vpn ;)
Oct 11 17:38:11 <sicelo> :)
Oct 11 17:39:24 <sicelo> i think i have an account with he.net. i recall they are a tunnel broker.
Oct 11 17:40:01 <KotCzarny> there is a chance your router support tunnels too
Oct 11 17:40:44 <sicelo> yes, i saw it somewhere
Oct 11 18:35:04 <sicelo> mmm, now i have an IPv6, but not Ipv6 traffic working
Oct 11 18:35:32 <sicelo> i used tunnelbroker, and everything worked well
Oct 11 18:42:12 <sicelo> i guess im not configuring the router correclty
Oct 11 18:49:08 <sicelo> works when i use it directly only the laptop
Oct 11 19:38:35 <sicelo> giving up on the router .. would have been nice to get in ipv6 on all devices, but i can't figure out where i'm going wrong. router's a TP-Link TD-W8960N
Oct 11 19:51:35 <sixwheeledbeast> ew.. tp-link
Oct 11 20:03:10 <sicelo> looks like my main issue is that, at least so far, i don't have somewhere in the router to add a default ipv6 gateway
Oct 11 20:04:52 <sixwheeledbeast> Use stateful with DHCPv6, does the ruoter have a ipv6 WAN ip?
Oct 11 20:07:54 <sicelo> trying stateful now. yes i have been given an ipv6 wan ip from the tunnel
Oct 11 20:09:50 <sixwheeledbeast> so this isn't native v6? it's 6in4 or the like?
Oct 11 20:10:37 <sicelo> yes, 6in4, via tunnelbroker
Oct 11 20:12:01 <sicelo> works fine if i use the details on the laptop. on the router i can't really get it working yet. pebkac, i am sure, but no idea what i could be doing wrong. then again, my ipv6 experience/knowledge is really minimal
Oct 11 20:13:34 <sixwheeledbeast> i used sixxs for years until it closed no problem
Oct 11 20:15:13 <sixwheeledbeast> I am not sure on tp link but it sounds like the ipv6 wan settings are not set up
Oct 11 20:16:06 <sixwheeledbeast> it maybe possible the router doesn't support tunnel accounts
Oct 11 20:16:42 <sicelo> ok. solved/(not) ... this router does 6rd, and tunnelbroker doesn't  support that, at least if the answer in https://forums.he.net/index.php?topic=3764.0 is correct
Oct 11 20:18:02 <sixwheeledbeast> I have Dray and used AICCU
Oct 11 20:18:19 <sixwheeledbeast> If using a tunnel the router needs the account details to connect
Oct 11 20:22:26 <sicelo> i will use it on laptop only for now. 
Oct 11 20:25:41 <sixwheeledbeast> this a isp provided router?
Oct 11 20:26:41 <sicelo> yes. ISP is not IPv6-enabled yet
Oct 11 20:31:51 <sixwheeledbeast> Looking at the router manual it has no IPv6 WAN options, it would need a native v6 or 6in4.
Oct 11 20:32:53 <sicelo> yes, i supposed tunnelbroker was 6in4, or i misunderstood something?
Oct 11 20:33:56 <sicelo> i won't buy a better router. this is a shared connection with the other apartments/houses around the premises. i don't really wish to take on  the responsibility of maintaining/managing the network. i do have access to the router, and i've setup a few things that suit me, as long as i don't disadvantage 'regularr' users
Oct 11 20:56:12 <sixwheeledbeast> sicelo: Yeah you need a router with WAN connection options on v6, like https://unsee.cc/7ed0fcc1/ for example
Oct 11 20:57:29 <sicelo> i think the one that was hit by lightning had it :-p
Oct 11 21:00:20 <sixwheeledbeast> was it completely cooked or just the modem dead?
Oct 11 21:04:43 <sicelo> modem dead. other functions were still working. but it was returned to ISP, and exchanged for this TP-LINK
Oct 11 21:07:00 <sicelo> still. i've learned something in the last few hours, and yes, my laptop is accessible via ipv6
Oct 11 21:23:20 <sixwheeledbeast> Was wondering if you could use the tp-link as modem for your old router.
Oct 11 21:33:18 <sicelo> that idead came to my mind when you asked, but yeah, it's gone
