Re: ipv6 routing and neighbour discovery

Pascal, Ashish,

Thanks to both of you for the input. It's actually basic subnetting
rules that I neglected to follow. I know have a working IPv6 setup :)

Where is the 6to4 tunnel interface ?
You probably would've guessed correctly; it's a tunnel over ethe (the
only public address)

Second, you must have a different prefix on each network, as in IPv4.
Here ethi and ethe have the same prefix, which is wrong and leads to
confusion such as : is <6to4>:<whatever> reachable on ethi or ethe ?
Yes, I seem to have messed up on my subnetting 101: never use the same
subnet on both sides of a router/gateway :)

Well, you must be lucky. :-) It could have happened that you can not
even reach the desktop if the server had thought that it was reachable
on ethe instead of ethi.
Well it got me confused on this one. If I hadn't been so lucky I might
have realized my mistake sooner...


Thanks again,
Arno
