I have a colocation and recently asked for ipv6. The issue however is that after the setup I can't ping the gateway.

I followed this guide: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-linux-ipv6-networking-configuration/

So to do some testing I gave 3 of my servers the address allocations and can ping all of them. However as said before the problem is that I can't ping the gateway.

Here is my config.


iface eth0 inet6 static
address 2001:0470:0001:014a:0000:0000:0000:0002
netmask 64
gateway 2001:0470:0001:014a:0000:0000:0000:0001


I removed "pre-up modprobe ipv6" as it was causing issues. So after all that and talking to the colocation company, we still have got nowhere. Am i missing something?
 
Do you have control over the router or is it somebody else to maintain?

if yours from the router are you able to ping IPv6 upstream?

Are you sure that it is setup correct for IPv6? If you know that you can ping the other servers just fine then I would think that the problem is with the router and not the servers since they are able to talk to each other.
 
In regards to the router, I don't control it. It is controlled by the colocation company.

I believe that I am correct on the setup, but I am not positive. (First time doing ipv6 setup.)

I agree with you that there is something wrong with the router, but sadly have no access to it. The colocation company says nothing is wrong with the route....so idk.
 
do they have anything else there that is on IPv6? if so can they ping the IP of that router?

I don't have access to anything with IPv6 so I can't see if I can ping the router there.

need to configure a 6to4 tunnel one of these days.
 
stupid me, didn't stop to think that 6to4 is installed by default with windows so I do have an IPv6 connection. :p

I can ping your server just fine.

ping -6 2001:0470:0001:014a:0000:0000:0000:0002

I can ping the gateway also. So everything seems to be fine there. So the next question is what are you seeing that makes you think there is an issue?
 
everything working on your side then now?

Guess the problem "fixed" itself after they found and made some changes ;)
 
The ISP turned on router advertisement for 5 minutes and then turned it off. Guess that is what fixed the situation.
