Testing IPv6

I've been testing IPv6 Internet access at home using following tunneling modes.
1. 6to4 Automatic Tunnel via Public 6to4 Relay (using Cisco IOS)
2. 6in4 Tunnel using Tunnel Broker (using Cisco IOS)
3. Teredo Tunnel (using Windows 7)

I found using Tunnel Broker (option 2) the most reliable solution.

Following equipments were used in the test.
1. Cisco 1841 Router Running 12.4 code
2. Windows 7 Computers x 2
3. Ubuntu 4.1.2

F0/0 is connected to the Internet.
F0/1 is connected to the Internal Network.

IOS config using Tunnel Broker (Hurricane Electric).

interface FastEthernet0/0
description Outside
ip address dhcp

interface FastEthernet0/1
description Inside
ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.128
ipv6 address 2001:470:1FFF::1/64 <-- HE gave out free /64 blocks
ipv6 enable

interface Tunnel0
description Hurricane Electric IPv6 Tunnel Broker
no ip address
ipv6 address 2001:470:1FFE::1/64
ipv6 enable
tunnel source [my public IP]
tunnel destination [Hurricane Electric assigned IP]
tunnel mode ipv6ip

ipv6 route ::/0 Tunnel0

Once config was completed (and half a day of troubleshooting), I was able to run following tests.
1. ping test to ipv6.google.com, www.ipv6forum.com (ping -6 in Windows and ping6 in Linux)
2. Browse to http://www.kame.net and I saw a dancing Turtle :)
3. Go to http://whatismyv6.com/ and check out my IPv6 addr.

Notes on Windows 7
I ended up having multiple IPv6 addresses on one interface.
1. Link local starting with FE80, but I have to keep this address.
2. Static IPv6 that I assigned manually. I want this address to be the only global IPv6 address.
3. One random IPv6 address assigned by OS.
4. Another temporary IPv6 address.

(I was able to get rid of v6 address in 3 and 4 by disabling RouterDiscover using the following command.

netsh interface ipv6 set interface "Local Area Connection" routerdiscovery=disabled

Notes on Linux (CentOS/RedHat)

Following config was used
1. to assign static IPv6 address to eth0 and
2. to disable stateless autoconfig.

[mid@rdis100 network-scripts]# more /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Notes on Linux (Ubuntu)

Following config was used
1. to assign static IPv6 address to eth0 and
2. to disable stateless autoconfig.

[mid@rds001 network-scripts]# more /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static

### Start IPV6 static configuration

pre-up modprobe ipv6

### END IPV6 configuration

[mid@rds001 network-scripts]# sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.autoconf=0

[mid@rds001 network-scripts]# /etc/init.d/networking restart

JUNOS 101 #2

#2 OSPF
1. Establish OSPF neighbors between EX-8216 over 10G link (area 0)
2. Configure Vlan1 in ospf area 1.

protocols {
ospf {
area 0.0.0.0 {

}
}
}

interfaces {

JUNOS 101 #1

I got a few Juniper boxes to test, 2 x EX-8216 and a few pizza boxes. This is the first time I am working on Junos boxes. These are configuration notes from my first days with Junos on EX-8216.

#1 BGP
Following configuration is
1. Establish a BGP session between two EX-8216
2. Redistribute static route into BGP
