Hi,

 

Besides starting io-pkt-v6-hc and configuring an address using ifconfig,
what else needs to be configured to run IPv6?

 

I am attempting to run io-pkt-v6-hc with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
assigned.  My basic test has two blades connected to each other such
that I can attempt a ping and ping6 to the other blade (from either
end).

 

 

Success:

 

-        IPv4 ping on both cards

-        IPv4 ping of local address (127.0.0.1)

-        IPv4 ping of local configured address

-        IPv6 ping of local address (::1)

-        IPv6 ping of local configured address

 

Failure:

 

-        IPv4 ping on both cards

 

The IP configuration and test results, for the ping and ping6 attempts
between the cards, are captured below.  I've checked most of the
ifconfig and io-pkt documentation as well as the io-net migration and
driver threads without finding any similar threads.

 

 

Cheers,

maurice

Background

I have already used io-net in the past.  To limit the change, I've had a
designer here run the io-pkt-v6 with our original devn-ppc405 (e.g.
access using the shim).
