Configure ip6 route on Dell PowerConnect 6248P router

So you are using unique local addressing (ULA), which is a special class of V6 addresses not meant for routing on the public internet.

You manually configured V6 addresses, in the same ULA range? e.f. fc00:  ????

Are the V6 devices that you are trying to ping on the same network or do you have to route to get there?

More information on your setup is needed?

I also assume that the address you hand out to a DHCPV6 client has conenctivity to the end system you are trying to ping?

harbor,

thanks for your reply.

i followed instructions from this page when i set up my ip6 DHCP server: http://programming4.us/desktop/2794.aspx

to answer your questions:

You manually configured V6 addresses, in the same ULA range? e.f. fc00:  - YES e.g. fc00:1234:5678:9abc::2

Are the V6 devices that you are trying to ping on the same network or do you have to route to get there - all on teh same network. we have 1 site only - about 15 client computers - not big


I also assume that the address you hand out to a DHCPV6 client has conenctivity to the end system you are trying to ping - the addresses handed to the clients all start with fc00:1234:5678:9abc:

in my attempt to try to fix the problem i have now made it worse. the clients no logner get IP6 addresses my by ip6 DHCP server.

i ran teh following commands on my server:
Netsh interface ipv6 add route fc00:1234:5678:9abc::/64 "Local Area Connection" publish=yes

Netsh interface ipv6 set interface "Local Area Connection" forwarding=enabled advertise=enabled nud=enabled routerdiscovery=disabled managedaddress=disabled otherstateful=disabled advertisedefaultroute=enabled

i probably ran other ones but i cant remember now

i get the following result when i run:  netsh int ipv6 show int 10

i hope this makes some sense.

what i want to achieve is that my ip6 DHCP server hands out addresses to by clients and they can contact eact other over IP6

thanks

jack

now when i run the following on the win 7 clients they get a ip6 address from the dhcp server:

netsh int ipv6 set int 12 routerdiscovery=disabled
netsh int ipv6 set int 12 managedaddress=enabled

all my servers are configured with static ip6 addresses e.g.

server2: fc00:1234:5678:9abc::2
server3: fc00:1234:5678:9abc::3

server2 and ping server3

one of my win 7 clients has been allocated the following ip6 address from the DHCP server: fc00:1234:5678:9abc:bad6:811:7064:720c

i cannot ping this address from server2 or server 3 - i get the error message: Request timed out.

i also cannot ping from the client to server2 or 3. i get the error message: PING: transmit failed. General failure.

does this help identiry the problem?

thanks

jack

hi harbor235

sorry for my delayed reply.

all win 7 clients are on the same domain. we only have 1 windows domain.. is that what you are asking.

as i tried to say.. i am a bit out of my depth with configuring the switch - when you ask: How is layer 2 configured? - do you mean on the switch?

i have not added any other vlan's to the swtich. there is only the managament vlan at the moment.

thanks

jack
