Back in December, I set up an IPv6 tunnel endpoint for the 18.177
subnet on mumps-11. It was much too flaky. I've moved the tunnel
endpoint to the newly-reinstalled edt, also sitting in my office,
which appears to be more stable.
I've included my 6to4 patches in the kernel on this machine, so it's
advertising two prefixes:
3ffe:1ce1:0:b1::/64
2002:12b1:111:0::/64
Autoconfiguration appears to work. I'm still running netbsd-current
on mumps-11, and have it configured as a normal host now. It's
picking up both advertised prefixes and generating its own IPv6
addresses with no additional configuration information required. Any
other machine brought up to do IPv6 autoconfiguration on this subnet
should do likewise.
If any of the current watchmakers or staff want to experiment with
IPv6, but can't set it up on their own machines, I can probably set up
a few accounts on this machine, but: it's not running AFS or NFS right
now, X11 is not installed, it's not amazingly fast, and I'll be
leaving town Saturday for most of the week.
Bill Sommerfeld and several network and ops people have root login
access, in case anything goes awry.
