Hello,

few weeks ago I was trying to setup IPv6, but that doesn't work.
http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&goto=12809&& amp;srch=IPv6#msg_12809

I would really like to have this feature. So I'm trying to experiment
with veth devices, but not much success again :(

My host node has IPv6 support:

> staj-dev:~# ifconfig
> eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:72:1B:0B:97
> inet addr:195.113.233.4 Bcast:195.113.233.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
> inet6 addr: 2001:718:1:e::23:3004/64 Scope:Global
> inet6 addr: fe80::213:72ff:fe1b:b97/64 Scope:Link
> UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
> RX packets:2136 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
> TX packets:1304 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
> collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
> RX bytes:211656 (206.6 KiB) TX bytes:138480 (135.2 KiB)
> Interrupt:17

It is accessible on IPv6:

> semik@staff:~$ ping6 -c1 2001:718:1:e::23:3004
> PING 2001:718:1:e::23:3004(2001:718:1:e::23:3004) 56 data bytes
> 64 bytes from 2001:718:1:e::23:3004: icmp_seq=0 ttl=63 time=0.129 ms

I setup IPv4 part this way:

> staj-dev:~# ifconfig veth012.0 0
> staj-dev:~# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/veth012.0/forwarding
> staj-dev:~# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/veth012.0/proxy_arp
> staj-dev:~# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/forwarding
> staj-dev:~# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/proxy_arp
> staj-dev:~# ip route add 195.113.233.012 dev veth012.0

and it works:

> semik:~$ping -c1 195.113.233.12
> PING 195.113.233.12 (195.113.233.12): 56 data bytes
> 64 bytes from 195.113.233.12: icmp_seq=0 ttl=61 time=0.252 ms

I'm trying to follow
http://wiki.openvz.org/Virtual_Ethernet_device#Virtual_ether net_device_with_IPv6

but after executing (2nd, 3rd) lines

> staj-dev:~# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/veth012.0/forwarding
> staj-dev:~# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/forwarding
> staj-dev:~# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding

host node stop responding to ping6. I'm stuck here... I also do not want
run router advertisement daemon (if that is possible). My VE should have
address 2001:718:1:e::23:3012.

Inside VE I setup:

> root@ip6v2-test:~# ifconfig
> eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:29:63:A6:73
> inet addr:195.113.233.12 Bcast:195.113.233.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

veth interface is configured this way:

> NETIF=" ifname=eth0,mac=00:0C:29:63:A6:73,host_ifname=veth012.0,host _mac=00:0C:29:63:A6:74 "

inside VE I see reasonable routes:

> root@ip6v2-test:~# route -6
> Kernel IPv6 routing table
> Destination Next Hop Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
> ::1/128 :: U 0 1 1 lo
> 2001:718:1:e::23:3004/128 2001:718:1:e::23:3004 UC 0 49 0 eth0
> 2001:718:1:e::23:3012/128 :: U 0 142 1 lo
> 2001:718:1:e::/64 :: U 256 0 0 eth0
> fe80::20c:29ff:fe63:a673/128 :: U 0 0 1 lo
> fe80::/64 :: U 256 0 0 eth0
> ff02::16/128 ff02::16 UC 0 5 0 eth0
> ff00::/8 :: U 256 0 0 eth0

but I'm not able even to ping to my host:

> root@ip6v2-test:~# ping6 2001:718:1:e::23:3004
> PING 2001:718:1:e::23:3004(2001:718:1:e::23:3004) 56 data bytes
> From 2001:718:1:e::23:3012 icmp_seq=1 Destination unreachable: Address unreachable

it is very interesting, that host node see my ping requests:

> staj-dev:~# tcpdump -i veth012.0
> tcpdump: WARNING: veth012.0: no IPv4 address assigned
> tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode

but do not respond to ping :(

I'm trying this on 2.6.18-028stab035 system with vzctl version 3.0.16-5dso1.

Could anybody help? Thanks.
