RV220W - Trying to setup an IPv6 connection

Hi,
My ISP provides IPv6 connectivity in the form of dual stack IPv4/IPv6 with DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation. Using a Cisco IOS-based router I managed to make such a connection by using as a template the Cisco IOS configuration file that my ISP has posted as an example in the following link:
http://ipv6.otenet.gr/current-config.txt
The main point on this configuration is a PPPoE connection with:
interface Dialer46
ipv6 address autoconfig default
ipv6 enable
ipv6 dhcp client pd LAN_DHCP
interface Vlan1
description local LAN
ipv6 address LAN_DHCP ::/64 eui-64
ipv6 enable
ipv6 nd other-config-flag
ipv6 dhcp server LAN_DHCP
I am now trying to configure an RV220W router on the same network but I cannot make it establish an IPv6 connection. Perhaps I am not setting it up correctly to make it work similarly to the Cisco IOS-based router. My settings are the following:
Networking -> IPv6 ->
IP Mode - IPv4 and IPv6 Dual-Stack
IPv6 WAN - DHCPv6 + Stateless Address Auto Configuration
IPv6 LAN - IPv6 Address: fec0::1, IPv6 Prefix Length: 64, DHCP Status: Enable DHCPv6 Server, DHCP Mode: Stateless, DNS Servers: Use DNS from ISP.
Router Advertisement: Status: Enable, Advertise Mode: Unsolicited Multicast
When I check the Summary page I see that although a have a proper working IPv4 connection, the IPv6 information is the following:
WAN (Internet) Information (IPv6)
Connection Time:                0 Days 00:07:10
Connection Type:                Dynamic IP (DHCP)
Connection State:               Connected                                  
IP Address:                        fe80::5a8d:9ff:fee2:f9d3/64
Gateway:                           fe80::200:ff:fe00:0
DNS Servers:
which is of course wrong.
Could someone please help me to configure this router according the Cisco IOS configuration file I linked on the top in order to have a working IPv6 connection?

So, I did a WAN packet capture to see that type of DHCPv6 packets the router sends to the ISP in order to obtain an IPv6 address and I saw that the router is sending DHCPv6 solicitation packets of type IA_NA i.e. for Identity Association for Non-temporary Address. However, most ISPs that offer a dual stack IP4/IPv6 service, they use DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation in which case the router is expected to send DHCPv6 solicitation packets of type IA_PD i.e. for Identity Association for Prefix Delegation.
Therefore, this router does not support DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation services with firmware 1.0.3.5 and as a result in practice it is only good for tunnel IPv6 connections.
Are there any plans to provide support for Prefix Delegation?

  • LDAP Servers not listed when trying to setup new LDAP connection

    Using SQL Developer: 1.5.1
    Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.2.0
    Windows XP client environment
    Can anyone clarify how to setup LDAP connections in SQL Developer. We use LDAP for our connections with all the other Oracle tools like SQL*Plus and other developer tools like forms. LDAP is working fine for all of those tools. However, when I try to setup an LDAP connection for SQL*Developer no servers are found for the drop down box. Do we need to put the sqlnet.ora and ldap.ora files somehwere so that SQL Developer can find them? Does SQL Developer even need them? How does the LDAP server get populated in SQL Developer? Thanks. I have tried looking at other posts on this issue and nothing really jumped out at how to do this. I do have some older version Oracle homes setup also. For example we have a Oracle 6i home setup on our machines for the old versions of forms and reports.

    I set it to C:\Oracle10g_DevSuiteHome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN. This is under one of my Oracle Homes on this machine that contains the sqlnet.ora and the LDAP.ora files. This didn't appear to make any difference. Still no LDAP servers listed when you try to add or build a new connection. I tried some of my other Oracle Homes and still no effect. I have also tried copying the sqlnet.or and the ldap.ora files to other directories. I have switched my default Oracle Home to point to the 9i and above homes and this made no difference.
    I have never had to do anything with an environment variable called TNS_ADMIN before. I almost remember a variable called TNS_ADMIN years ago in the registery that had to be modified and it was TNS_ADMIN if I remember correclty. When you said to set an environment variable you did mean to just set or create a new environment variable using the My Computer > Properties > Advanced Tab > Environment Variables on the client machine. I just want to make sure I set the right variable. Thanks for you help and suggestons.
    By the way I can connect just fine using basic or advanced connections. I just would like to use LDAP so I don't have to maintain connections when port, server or SID change. For example we just failed over and the fail over database is on a different server. We do this as a test or when needed for failover purposes. If you are using the basic and advanced connections you need to go in a update connection information. If we use LDAP this is all maintained by the DBAs and individual clients shouldn't have to maintain any connection information as long as the have the right SID. The documentation for SQL Developer doesn't really seem to address how to setup LDAP connections it just mentions that you can do it and it sounds simple.

  • Trying to setup a RADIUS connection with challenge response

    I need to test a RADIUS authentication and I've read note id 272804.1 and http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/network.102/b14268/asoradus.htm.
    I'm trying to connect from DEVDB machine using sqlplus as client and connect to the local database server 10gr2 which then should act as RADIUS client to finally try to reach another machine with hostname DEVRADIUS.
    I'm using freeRadius which delegate authentication and authorization phases to a OTP service. Other middleware services are able to use this kind of RADIUS authentication with no problem: so this radius configuration is perfectly working for other clients.
    I've done some tests, but I'm not able to connect to DEVRADIUS from the Oracle database.
    Executing ./adapters and ./adapters ./oracle showed me the RADIUS authentication is available.
    When I try to connect using my external user I'm receiving the following error:

  • I am trying to setup bootcamp on my MacBook Air.  Network diagnostics doesn't believe I'm connected to the internet... but I am!!???

    I am trying to setup bootcamp on my MacBook Air.  I have a wifi internet connection which works fine in Safari etc. However, when I get to the point of downloading the windows install files I am told the network is not connected, but it is!
    I have a simple automatic connection set up to a wifi router which works fine for all standard internet functions - mail, safari, downloads in safari etc. Where it falls down is that the system doesn't recognise it in network diagnostics.  When I reach the point of downloading win installation files for my air from the internet it says I am not connected to the internet and runs network diagnostics which proceeds to break my internet connection.  If I stop network diagnostics, close the windows and simply switch my wifi off and on then I'm back up and running, but the network diagnostics still doesn't believe it.
    Any ideas?  Seems completely illogical to me...

    This is the message I get if that helps anyone...

  • I am trying to setup wireless using my old dome Airport ExtremeBase station. I had previously used it about 5 years ago when I had dial up but have now switche to DSL with Windstream. I can not get connecte as ABS keeps trying to dial up(the phone number)

    I am trying to setup wireless using my old dome Airport Extreme Base station. I had previously used it about 5 years ago when I had dial up but have now switched to DSL with Windstream. I can not get connected as the ABS keeps trying to dial up(the old phone number). When I tried to change my network settings an annoying popup window says "your network settings have been changed by another application'. I have no idea what the message is all about and when I close this window it immediately pops up again and prevents me -as far as I can tell -from changing my Airport settings?  I need advice on how to get this wireless setup done. Maybe a reset? or something else? I have the DSL phone line plugged into WIndsteam Seimens Speedstream 4200 modem and then the ethernet (yellow) wire from the WIndsteam Seimens Speedstream 4200 modem to the port on the dome that is a circle of dots.

    1)Can you explain how using the AEBS as a bridge will work with the Seimens Speedstream4200?
    As a bridge, the AEBS will basically become a wireless access point. This will allow the AEBS to provide a wireless network, but still allow the Speedstream to provide NAT & DHCP services for the wireless clients connected to the AEBS. If the AEBS was left as a router, you would have a double-NAT condition which isn't necessary bad in itself, but would create a second subnet. That would make it more difficult for clients connected to the AEBS to access clients connected to the Speedstream.
    2) Is there a link that will guide me through the steps to set the AEBS as a bridge?
    You can easily reconfigure the AEBS as a bridge using the AirPort Utility.
    ref: AirPort Utility > Select the AEBS > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    3)Can I just connect the DSL phone line to the AEBS and eliminate the Speedstream4200?
    Unfortunately no. The AEBS does not have a built-in DSL modem. You will still need the Speedstream to provide this function.

  • Trying to setup airport for 1st time and it will not connect to internet, we also did not create a new network and cannot find this option again

    Trying to setup airport for 1st time and it will not connect to internet?

    You might try doing a reset of your AirPort unit.  Use a pen or paper clip to press in on the recessed reset button while you plug it in, then continue to keep the button pressed until the status light flashes several times,
    For more advice, please describe all your networking gear.

    i am trying to setup an airport express wirelessly. can this be done or do i have to have an ethernet cable pluged into it?

    You can set up the Express using AirPort Utility and wireless only, but you must first log on to the default network that the Expess provides.....Apple Network xxxxxx....and then open AirPort Utility.
    No password is required.
    For most users, the Ethernet cable method is simpler....if you have a spare Ethernet cable handy.

    does anyone have any ideas on what is not working and why ?

    Looks like an AT&T PPPOE connection - the addresses of those change all of the time. Make sure that the "Client IPv4 address" is correct at the HE side.
    You can update it with a URL, see http://fcartegnie.free.fr/articles/Hurricane%27s%20IPv6%20TunnelBroker%20Endpoin t%20ipv4%20address%20updater.html for details one endpoint updateing using just a URL.

  • I am trying to setup VPN with QuickVPN

    Hi I am trying to setup VPN with WRVS4400N and Quick VPN on client side. I am fairly new to VPN and did some research and looked through the manual but can't seem to get it to work so far and from what I noticed many people are having this problem. So hopefully someone can tell what the problem is or at least point to right direction on solving this.
    Basically it gives the "Failed to establish connection" generic error, shows it almost instantly..
    It also showed the certificate error before but then I read about putting it in the installation directory and it stopped showing it, and whats strange is later I removed it but it doesnt show the error any longer, so don't know if its caching it somewhere or what can be going on...
    In effort to look for answer and test things out I tried to connect to another location and setup a WRV200 router, I also get the same error but not instantly, it even shows "Activating Policy" but then doesn't go farther and shows the generic error...
    Also with this setup strangly it always shows the certificate error, no matter if I put one in directory or not... Even tried to name it as the WRVS4400N certificate name...
    Anyway VPN IPSec is disabled, and Client Accounts are configured and changed password several times to make sure its correct, VPN Passthrough enabled on all 3 options.
    I tried to disable Windows Router, I also have a router in place do I possibly need to open some type of ports for the QuickVPN client?
    Don't know yet whats going on if I am missing something or if there is some problem that needs work-around but if you know the answer or guesses of answer please let me know.

  • Trying to setup systemd user instance

    Hi guys!
    For the past few days I have been trying to setup systemd to run a user instance (user is 'hans'). Sadly, I have been unable to find a lot of detail in doing this, so much of my work has been trial and error. Just recently I learned about the [email protected] and also about loginctl enable-linger. However to what degree they are related to setting up a user instance, I do not know. I set the user 'hans' to 'linger' using the loginctl enable-linger hans command, however I think I might have misunderstood the significance of the command in relation to what I am trying to do.
    What I want to for user 'hans' to have his own service file, i.e. irssi.service, and start/stop/enable/disable/etc that service independently of the system. I realize that I could use sudo and configure it to only allow certain commands, and more than that have individual 'system' services for each user, i.e. hansirssi.service, janeirssi.service, joeirssi.service, etc., but I don't want to have to do that unless there is no other option.
    So Question 1:
    Is it possible to setup up systemd user instances as I envision it? Or have I misunderstood something?
    My system:
    [root@ru ~]# uname -a
    Linux ru 3.5.4-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Sep 15 08:12:04 CEST 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    The system is installed in a Proxmox virtual machine with a virtio virtual HDD and standard setup. It is a headless system. I have a complete systemd conversion as per the wiki plus polkit 0.107-2 for use with 'loginctl'.
    I tried:
    [root@ru ~]$ systemctl enable [email protected]
    The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
    [root@ru ~]$ systemctl start [email protected]
    [root@ru ~]# systemctl status [email protected]
    [email protected] - User Manager for hans
    Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected]; static)
    Active: active (running) since Fri, 21 Sep 2012 18:33:07 +0100; 42min ago
    Main PID: 23189 (systemd)
    Status: "Startup finished in 822us."
    CGroup: name=systemd:/user/hans/shared
    â 23190 (sd-pam)
    â systemd-23189
    â 23189 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd --user
    And on the user account hans I confirm that the service is running:
    [hans@ru ~]$ systemctl status [email protected]
    [email protected] - User Manager for hans
    Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected]; static)
    Active: active (running) since Fri, 21 Sep 2012 18:33:07 +0100; 13s ago
    Main PID: 23189 (systemd)
    Status: "Startup finished in 822us."
    CGroup: name=systemd:/user/hans/shared
    â 23190 (sd-pam)
    â systemd-23189
    â 23189 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd --user
    But in regard to actually starting/stopping/enabling a user specific service, I keep getting this error:
    [hans@ru ~]$ systemctl start dummyservice.service
    Failed to issue method call: Access denied
    and when I try by accessing the 'user' instance, I get the following error:
    [hans@ru ~]$ systemctl --user
    Failed to get D-Bus connection: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11
    The thing is that dbus is running:
    [root@ru ~]# systemctl status dbus

    Question 2:
    Why would dbus reject the 'messages', is there something I need to configure (permissions,...?) in order to get this to work?
    I suspect that it is my lacking knowledge to blame for this problem, which is why I have sought help here.
    EDIT#1:
    I forgot to show you what 'loginctl' was doing:
    [root@ru ~]# loginctl user-status hans

    I just went through the install process, read through the user-session-units doc, I was finally able to get the user instance working, no Dbus errors . However I decided to make sure and run 'dbus-monitor' within the user 'hans' and I got the following error message:
    Failed to open private bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /run/user/1000/dbus/user_bus_socket: No such file or directory
    I checked and there is no such file, however I checked the dbus.socket:
    [root@ru user]# cat /usr/lib/systemd/user/dbus.socket
    [Unit]
    Description=D-Bus System Message Bus Socket
    [Socket]
    ListenStream=%t/dbus/user_bus_socket
    And dbus.service:
    [root@ru user]# dbus-monitor
    Failed to open connection to session bus: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11
    [root@ru user]# cat /usr/lib/systemd/user/dbus.service
    [Unit]
    Description=D-Bus System Message Bus
    Requires=dbus.socket
    [Service]
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/dbus-daemon --session --address=systemd: --nofork --systemd-activation
    ExecReload=/usr/bin/dbus-send --print-reply --session --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus / org.freedesktop.DBus.ReloadConfig
    and as far as I can tell everything see alright there.
    EDIT#1:
    I just restarted the system to see if my symlink worked for the user-session service. It did, sort of, however the following error occured during boot:
    Sep 21 22:15:14 ru systemd[307]: Failed to open private bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /run/user/1000/dbus/user_bus_socket: No such file or directory

    A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
    But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
    If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
    Important thing is to get access to the TC.
    The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

  • I am trying to setup to secure a redirect public port to a private port

    I i am trying to setup to secure a redirect public port to a private port to a Microsoft server exchange
    A user coming from the outside(Untrusted security level 0) will connect to IIS server in the DMZ(Trusted security level 50) with a port 443 to a PIX 515 , the IIS server has a application called Detour Service(Service transparently reroutes any TCP connection from one IP Port to any other IP Port) will initiate a connection to Microsoft server exchange to the inside(trusted security level 100).
    Do you think it is the right solution I term of security?yes or no, are do you have a better solutution
    Thanks
    User port destination 443(outside)>>>>>> IIS server port destination 9999(DMZ)>>>>>>>>>>> Microsoft server exchange(inside)

    Actually the connection from lower security level to higher security level is blocked. You can apply an access list to limit traffic from inside to outside, or allow traffic from outside to inside. For transparent firewall mode, you can also apply an EtherType access list to allow non-IP traffic.
