I am trying to setup my proxmox host node(s) with ipv6 support. (Hoping to get away from ipv4)
Currently I have a few providers that don't support native ipv6. Yes I know it is 2015.... In these cases I was hoping to use he.net's ipv6 tunnel broker for ips. The problem is I can't seem to set it up.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 204.77.0.xxx
netmask 255.255.255.248
gateway 204.77.0.xxx
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0
auto he-ipv6
iface he-ipv6 inet6 v4tunnel
address 2001:470:c:xxx:2
netmask 64
endpoint 66.220.18.42
local 204.77.0.xxx
ttl 255
gateway 2001:470:c:xxx:1
With this config I do get the host node functional with ipv6, but bridge_ports, special routing configs, and much more seem to not work to the actual vms on the server. Which is kinda the whole point!
I am trying to set this up for KVM vms. Not openvz.
Help please!
(p.s. yes I googled this question, do you know how many bad answers are out there?)
