Since with Windows Vista, IPv6 is enabled by default. Yes, on Windows Server, too! The lifetime of a public address is reset renewed on each Router Advertisement, which makes the address theoretically static! This command shows all active IPv6 addresses on the system, including loopback, Link-Local, global and tunnel interfaces. With this command you can add a static IPv6 route towards the specified address with prefix length into your IPv6 routing table, that uses the specified next hop as a gateway.
Display the Windows IPv6 routing table with this simple command. The Verbosity level is optional and you do not usually need it. Check out the difference in output if you like. You have learned before in this tutorial, what purpose the IPv6 neighbor cache has. Now you can have a look at your Microsoft Windows IPv6 neighbors yourself. Far more useful is being able to reach the rest of the IPv6 internet users.
There are three common methods that are used to connect to the rest of the IPv6 world:. Also keep in mind that there is no problem at all with having multiple IP addresses under IPv6, so more than one method of obtaining IPv6 addresses may be used at the same time. Before proceeding its necessary to point out that no mention of firewalling is made here, but it is something which needs to be considered if you enable IPv6.
A common case is to have a linux host acting as a firewall, router and IPv6 gateway and running the radvd router advertisement daemon. In this case windows XP will have already picked up a local address. Two addresses have been auto configured, the first is an any essentially random address used as the source of outgoing connections [2] and the second is an address configured based in the MAC address of the host.
This second address can be used as the fixed address of this host it will remain the same as long as the network card is not changed. The traceroute tracert6 and ping ping6 commands show that full IPv6 connectivity is now working:. There are a lot of tunnel brokers available and each them has different requirements and features.
You should look at the documentation provided by your tunnel broker for details on how to configure access via their specific service. Windows XP supports configured tunnels with the integrated tunnel interface. Setting up a manual tunnel requires several steps on the command line. In our tests, the configuration of the public 6to4 anycast address was necessary: netsh interface ipv6 6to4 set relay This interface provides an IPv6 loopback interface with the address or fe 2 Automatic Tunneling Pseudo-Interface As its name implies, this is an interface used for automatic tunneling.
To ping the loopback interface in IPv4, you used the command ping For IPv6, you can use either of the following commands; the results are shown in Table C. In addition to this command, XP provides ping6 and tracert6, which perform the same functions as their IPv4 counterparts. When to expect the full version Current IPv6 functionality is still in the dark ages with its command-line-only interface. One of the significant changes will be in the area of IPv6.
With this much backing from Microsoft, you can be sure IPv6 will slowly begin to supplant IPv4 as organizations acquire hardware and software that can support it. Editor's Picks.
