IPV6 and SolusVM

[VPSDATABASE]

I was wondering if you could help me enable IPV6?

On my root#/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2 IT doesn't show

IPV6ADDR=

IPV6_DEFAULTGW=

only

DEVICE=eth2

HWADDR=00:25:90:79:31:AE

TYPE=Ethernet

UUID=5a2094c3-78d7-4bc6-8af6-b57ea92563cd

ONBOOT=yes

NM_CONTROLLED=yes

BOOTPROTO=dhcp

 

I am trying to follow this guide here http://kbeezie.com/ipv6.txt

You have to add those to the file, they aren't included. Can just add it to the bottom of the file, modify values, save, etc.

Where can I find the Values for it?

Like I know I have to add 

IPV6ADDR=

IPV6_DEFAULTGW=

But I am not sure what to put in for the values.

Well the IPV6ADDR is the IPV6 address you'd like to assign to the node, and the IPV6_DefaultGW is the default gateway (gateway IP + the /subnet)

For example

IPV6ADDR=1234:5678:0123::2

IPV6DEFAULTGW=1234:5678:0123::1/48

Example IP space, obviously use your own in that case -- and the /48 is the subnet you have access to from your provider so make sure to use the proper values based on what was assigned.

You should have those values from your host/provider of the dedicated server.

If you are doing this on an OpenVZ node, one thing that you need to keep in mind is that you will need to run a script on the node to enable IPv6 for each container. This script is provided by SolusVM themselves and it is loaded on the node when you install SolusVM.

/scripts/openvz-ipv6

This seems to work pretty easily:

Everyone thank you for the great information, sorry for bothering you all.

Just never had much experience with networking.
