PPP over IPv6

Hello,
I'm trying to configure PPPoE in IPv6 on a Cisco Router 7301 (without RADIUS) but it doesn't send DNS(ip name-server) and an IPv6 configuration from the pool (Windows 7).
I tried in IPv4, and everything worked.
VLANs
2 : fd01::120:0/112
96 : fd01::96:0/112
120 :fd01::120:0/112
This is an IPv6 Test network
Thanks.

  • Problem about the jmf when working over IPV6

    I write a program about monitoring a RTP stream ,get the feedbacks about the stream by receving the RTCP reports and analysize the paramaters .Now the throny issues encountered is the code working perfect over the IPV4 network .but there are many exceptions when working over IPV6 the exceptions is as follows:
    Exception in thread "RTCP Reporter" java.lang.NullPointerException
    at com.sun.media.rtp.RTCPTransmitter.makereports(RTCPTransmitter.java:200)
    at com.sun.media.rtp.RTCPTransmitter.report(RTCPTransmitter.java:106)
    at com.sun.media.rtp.RTCPReporter.run(RTCPReporter.java:193)
    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)
    the session can be set up and can receive the stream .so I think it is ok of setting up the session with the IPV6 multicast address.strangely , the same particate in the session sends more than one feedbacks with different SSRC which is ought to be single.I cannot figure out.
    I wonder whether there is any special setting when JMF working on the IPV6 network.I did not find materials about the JMF working on IPV6 network in Microsoft xp pc.
    can any guys give me any tips?

  • Unexpected case IPv4 tunnel over IPv6 ?

    hi,
    I wonder if there is one use case one can think of that is not possible with Cisco IOS:
    Establish a IPsec tunnel over an IPv6 network tranporting both IPv4 and Ipv6 traffic. Even IPsec tunnel over an IPv6 network transporting IPv4 only does not work.
    I tried several things in my lab but couldn't get it running.
    I tried to search the net for my use case but I only find the other way round.
    Question: is it possible to achieve connectivity of the following IPv4 addresses over an IIPsec tunnel over Ipv6 network?
    Ultimately, the same tunnel should be capable transporting both. A dedicated Tunnel for IPv4 and IPv6 tunnel on the same routers would also be OK.

    Same/similar question but the case is instead of Site to Site VPN, it would be using the Cisco VPN Client.  The host on the left side is connected to an IPv6-only network.  They need to communicate with IPv4 devices across the Internet (behind a Cisco ASA).
    Is this possible?

  • HDMI over IPv6

    Can HDMI be routed over IP/IPv6, or dare I say it, transported over HTTP? Since HDMI is a digital protocol, this must be possible.
    Is there any known work in progress to get HDMI to be routed over IP/IPv6, or even to get it to be transported over HTTP?
    Do these CE hardware folks even know about the Internet? And why can't they fit PC video cards with real HDMI connectors that can carry HD audio as well? All PC video cards I've seen have S-Video out, or a DVI-HDMI connector, and neither can carry audio.
    With a high-bandwidth Layer 2 technology such as 10Gbps Ethernet or InfiniBand that offers even more bandwidth, the commodity potential of HDMI over IPv6 would be enormous. It can drive a substantial segment of any nation's economy.
    Thanks.

    Well, the reason Apple TV doesn't work well with HDMI switches is probably because Apple is not doing HDMI right. And the fact that Apple TV does not process HD Audio codecs such as DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD supports this theory.
    When Apple provides support for those HD audio codecs in Apple TV, you would get HDMI right.

  • Cannot export nfs-share over ipv6 in OS X 10.8

    I've successfully exported my nfs share over ipv4 and can access this with a nfs-client from a linux machine. However, I'm not able to export the same share over ipv6.
    In my /etc/exports I have:
    /Volumes/Harddisk
    -network 10.0.0.0
    -mask 255.255.255.0
    /Volumes/Harddisk
    -network fd60:760d:98ec:8588::/64
    However, from the linux client I can only mount the ipv4 share, but not the ipv6 share.
    Is it possible to export nfs-shares over ipv6 in OS X 10.8?

    I would suggest testing a connection from a second Mac also running 10.8 via IPv6. At least then you know both will be using compatible versions. If that does not work then it would seem to be an IPv6 issue on the Mac server.

  • Do we support RADIUS over IPv6 in ACS 5.5?

    Hi,
    Could you please let me know if we support RADIUS over IPv6?

    It is hard to see the information in your screen shot but ACS 5.4 and later support IPv6 for network devices:
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5-4/user/guide/acsuserguide/net_resources.html
    Also, if you type an invalid IP address in ACS you would get the following error:
    A valid IPv4 address consists of four numbers (0-255) separated by periods, e.g. 123.0.255.3
    A valid IPv6 address is n:n:n:n:n:n:n:n where the 'n's are either digits (0-9) or letters (A-F)
    I hope this is what you were looking for!
    Thank you for rating helpful posts!

  • ISCSI over IPv6

    Can Cisco's iSCSI hardware be deployed on a Windows Server 2008 IPv6 network that uses InfiniBand as the underlying I/O fabric?
    Thanks.

    G'day,
    Of course it can run over IPv6 - so long as your IB/Ethernet bridge is not going to do anything whacky you should be fine.
    For more info:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5989/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a0080664d94.html
    and
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/technologies/tk648/tk872/tk373/technologies_white_paper09186a00802219bc.html
    I would say however, depending on the size of your datacentre you might want to look at the nexus switches vs infiniband. I know the inifiband is very well priced a the moment but dual 10gbE cards these days are only ~1200(AUD)...

  • MPLS over IPv6?

    I've heard IPv6 over MPLS lots of times, but never heard of MPLS over IPv6.

    I have heard too much going on in this field. Any particular interest?

  • Mpls over atm ppp over aal5

    Hi,
    Does cisco support mpls over atm-ppp-llc
    per RFC 2354(PPP over AAL5).
    Something like a scenario if Cisco acts as a PE and it gets frames with mpls over atm-ppp-llc from a connected CE ,is it supported in cisco , or it will drop the frames ?
    Running mpls over ce-pe link is mandatory for the specific scenario.
    Thanks
    Thanks in advance

    Hello,
    The MPLS should be supported also on PPP over AAL5. Simply use the "mpls ip" command on the Virtual-Template or the Dialer interface you are using on top of the ATM VC to set up the PPP interface.
    The 3640 with proper IOS can support the PE functions. The Enterprise feature sets should be equipped with all features necessary to provide a PE router functionality - basically, the VRF, MPLS, LDP, MPLS VPN support, BGP, BGP VPNv4 support, IGP protocols with VRF support and that should be sufficient.
    Best regards,

  • Why is firefox for android so slow over ipv6?

    firefox for anddroid is much slower than dolphin and chrome over ipv6.

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. <br>
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
    #Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
    #Tap '''Settings'''.
    #After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
    #You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
    #*Cookies & active logins
    #*Cache
    #After those have been selected, tap the '''Clear data''' button to actually clear the cache and cookies.
    Did this help you with your problems? Please let us know!

  • PPP over L2TP with RADIUS Failed

    Hi, I'm getting a CodeRej when I try do a PPP over L2TP dynamic using a Radius in a debian OS.
    Regards

    Ok, Ok i admit it was my fault to not use that common and sometimes strangely new feature probably older than me called "SEARCH"
    I checked another discussion regarding the same subject and it turned out by their knowledge that ACS 5.x manage
    TACACS+ only for Device Administration
    RADIUS for Network Access
    Any other way doesn't work...any other opinion? ( i just can't help the fact that Cisco doesn't let use TACACS+ for PPP Authentication...does anybody knows why?)

  • PPP and IPv6 stateless address configuration

    Hello everyone.
    I'm doing some tests with IPv6 over PPP. Using IPv6 over the Ethernet you can use the "stateless address autoconfiguration" to assign a global IPv6 address to a machine when in.ndpd is running on one machine in the network.
    Is it possible to do stateless autoconfiguration using a PPP connection ?
    The computer which shall configure itself is running under Solaris. Currently I use only one computer with two instances of pppd running. The interfaces "sppp0"/"sppp1" do not have the "ADDRCONF" flag set. After setting this flag manually using ioctl(SIOCSLIFFLAGS) ifconfig says that the ADDRCONF flag is set but the address is not automatically configured.
    ndpd.conf contains the following lines:
    prefix (a test prefix here) sppp0
    prefix (another test prefix here) sppp1
    I re-started in.ndpd after the PPP connection was up but this did not help.
    Any ideas ?
    Martin

    Hello again.
    It seems I only forgot the "if sppp0 AdvSendAdvertisements on" line in the ndpd.conf file.
    Address autoconfiguration seems to work now. I tested a connection between a computer running Linux and a computer running Solaris - it worked well.

  • Windows 8.1 prefers IPv4 over IPv6

    Hi,
    I face a strange issue regarding IPv6 networking on Windows 8.1 Pro. My local network runs a router with router advertising daemon to announce fc00::/7 unique local address as well as global adresses. It also runs DHCPv6 to assign static unique local address.
    So all my machines in local LAN get multiple local IPv6 addresses:
    IPv6 DHCP lease in fc00::/7 network
    Auto-assigned IPv6 fc00::/7 address
    Temporary IPv6 fec00::/7 address
    Link-local IPv6 address in range fe80::64 network
    Temporary global unicast IPv6 2000::/3 address
    Link-local IPv6 fe80::/10 address
    DHCP-assigned 10.0.0.0/8 IPv4 address
    DNS servers: fc00::/7 IPv6 and 10.0.0.0/8 (same server with DNS listening on both interfaces)
    Gateway: Link-local IPv6 fe80::/10 address of router, 10.0.0.0/8 server (same host as IPv6 gateway)
    So far almost everything seems to work well:
    Can ping and connect to IPv6-enabled web-hosts
    ping www.google.com pings IPv6 interface on Google server
    However Windows 8.1 decides to connect on IPv4 only local servers. E.g. the local web-service. Issuing "ping local-server" pings IPv4 only as well as Internet Explorer or Firefox only connect on IPv4 to the web service. It's not a DNS issue as
    DNS resolves properly to link-local IPv6 address:
    nslookup local-server
    Server:  UnKnown
    Address:  fdea:....:....:....::6
    Name:    local-server.example.local
    Addresses:  fdea:....:....:....::6
              10.0.1.6
    Also using the IP address within the browser like http://[fdea:....:....:....::6]/ works just fine.
    Even more strange the same setup on Windows 7 Professional connects just fine to the same host on IPv6.
    I thought this might be an issue with prefix policies (see 'netsh interface ipv6 show prefixpolicies') which were changed from Windows 7 to Windows 8(.1). But I messed with the rules at no avail.
    Any explanation or hint what I am doing wrong or what has changed in Windows 8(.1) which makes Windows 8 prefer IPv4 over unique local fec0::/7 addresses?

    you can run ipconfig /all, and paste the result here
    Of course I can. See below. Note: I have removed static IPv6 site-local addresses (except the prefix).

  • JDBC connection over IPv6

    Hi
    I have an MS SQL Server 2005 Database Server and a Client computer on two different subnets.
    There is also a DNS Server, which contains both an IPv4 (A) and IPv6 (AAAA) DNS record for the Database Server.
    I've disabled IPv4 routing between the two subnets so that the Database Server is only accessible by IPv6 from the Client computer.
    I am then unable to connect to the Database Server from the Client using JDBC.
    I have tried increasing the loginTimeout in the JDBC connection string, but this doesn't appear to make any difference.
    I get a java.net.ConnectException in about 20 seconds.
    If I remove the IPv4 (A) record of the Database Server from the DNS Server, the JDBC connection then succeeds.
    Does JDBC iterate over all the possible addresses of the Database Server?
    Is the loginTimeout the correct parameter to try to increase, to allow it to iterate over the possible addresses?
    There is a similar problem with MS SQL Client - see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms378428(SQL.90).aspx
    But increasing the connection timeout allows a successful connection.
    Thanks

    If a driver gives up on the first DNS lookup (which probably will be the IPv4 address), it'll never try the IPv6 addresses. However that is NOT what you are testing.
    As described in your first post there is a route. Routing works if the final location is found. After that a refused connection is a refused connection.
    Alain: In my test, IPv4 routing is disabled between the two subnets. So there is no IPv4 routing between the two machines, only IPv6.

    But even so, to me it is still two different IP addresses. Just as if you try to create your own replication by having two database servers on different IPv4 addresses. If the client is supposed to be using one address then the DNS should be set up that way.
    Or use the address. Because the point is not the IP address, the point is the DNS look up.
    Alain: With IPv6, it is common for computers to be assigned more than one address for routing under different hierarchies.
    If you're saying that the DNS lookup should be set up to return only one IP address to client computers trying to connect to the DB Server, DNS will need to be set up differently depending on where the client computer is.

    Again looking at it from the point of someone developing a driver the only option I would allow is that one might be able to specify a configuration value that says to try a IPv6 address first. That would be in the driver, not JDBC. So you can look to your driver for that.
    There is a similar problem with MS SQL Client - see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms378428(SQL.90).aspx
    But increasing the connection timeout allows a successful connection.
    I do not see anywhere in that link that it claims that the setup you are using would work Alain: apologies. It was the wrong url link.
    I meant, http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2005/10/12/480192.aspx.The scenario there is SQL Server is configured to listen only on IPv6 addresses and disable all IPv4 addresses so that only IPv6 connection can be accepted. The workaround is to specify the IPv6 address of the target machine explicitly to force SNI to use IPv6 connection directly or to use longer timeout value. I don't see that in that blog.
    It says that if you have addresses that some different behavior might result. It specifically refers to using an IPv4 address (not DNS) and failing on that and then attempting to use a IPv6 address (again not a DNS) and even in that case it might fail.
    Alain: The blog is talking about a hostname resolving into multiple addresses. I quote from the blog, with bold for emphasis,
    "In most cases, the connection string does not need to be modified if the <servername> is specified using server hostname or FQDN (Full Qualified Domain Name). If the server machine has dual-stack, *its hostname or FQDN will be resolved into multiple IP addresses*, including at lease one IPv4 address and multiple IPv6 addresses. *And SNI will attempt to establish connections using these IP addresses in order and use the first connection that succeeds*. IPv4 addresses are attempted first if both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are present. This logic is transparent to the users of ODBC, OLEDB or ADO.NET.
    And it doesn't say anything about that some clients already do this but merely that they can.
    Alain: SNI does, from the quote above. A test also shows that it does try all the addresses that DNS returns, with the caveat that the connection timeout has to be increased.
    Unfortunately it looks like the MS JDBC driver doesn't do likewise.
    Myself I don't really consider that a valid option for most use cases for drivers. If I have a data center then I am not normally going to be using both types of addresses. And if I am both will work. And if there are variation in subnets then I would expect that if DNS is in use then it would be set up to correctly represent that.Thanks for your input on this thread. Much appreciated.

  • Lion Server unreachable over IPv6?

    My Lion Server is perfectly reachable over IPv4 and as it is housed in a datacenter the DNS must not be an issue either. Does anyone think it's fun to help me sort this question out? If I find the answer before you do, I'll post it here

    I've see this Apple post already:
    To manually set up your computer to use IPv6
    You should only do this if your network administrator or Internet service provider has specifically told you to manually configure IPv6.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
    If the Network Preference is locked, click on the lock icon and enter your Admin password to make further changes.
    Choose the network service you want to use with IPv6, such as Ethernet or AirPort.
    Click Advanced, and then click TCP/IP.
    Click on the Configure IPv6 pop-up menu (typically set to Automatically) and select Manually.
    Enter the IPv6 address, router address, and prefix length you received from your network administrator or Internet service provider. Your router address may be referred to as your gateway address by some ISPs.
