  • 1.  IPv6 and IPv4 Same Interface?

    Posted 09-02-2013 16:40

    Hello,

     

    I have a customer who is receiving dual stack IPv4/IPv6 connectivity over their Ethernet LAN (TW Telecom).  IPv4 works, and end to end testing with a laptop also works for IPv6. 


    When the router is connected, there is not IPv6 connectivity.  I have added the inet6.0 family and enabled the IPv6 rib group.  I receive a "Destination Host Unreachable" when attempting to ping the service provider. 

     

    The router is a J-Series 6350-JB.

     

    Something obvious I'm missing?

     

    interfaces {
        ge-0/0/0 {
            speed 100m;
            link-mode full-duplex;
            gigether-options {
                no-auto-negotiation;
            }
            unit 0 {
                family inet {
                    address 64.128.89.190/30;
                }
                family inet6 {
                    address 2001:4870:e040:6::2/64;
                }
            }
        }
    
    
    jbarron@J6350_Franklin> show configuration routing-options
    rib inet6.0 {
        static {
            route ::/0 next-hop 2001:4870:e040:6::1;
        }
    }
    static {

    Try to use source option of ping. Without use of source option ping echo request packet may be going with source address of lo.0

    Problem turned out to be something REALLY simple/silly.  

     

    On J-Series and SRX security devices, IPv6 is disabled by default.  You MUST enable it with either flow or packet mode under security options.  

     

    Once I did that, the rest of the config worked like a champ.

     

    And yes, I did try to source ping it.  Thanks for the tip.  Hopefully this helps someone else.  It wasn't very apparent in the docs that I read.
