FAQ : Connectivity (Tunnels and Subnets) : How do I configure my machine to setup the IPv6 in IPv4 tunnel to the SixXS PoP?

How do I configure my machine to setup the IPv6 in IPv4 tunnel to the SixXS PoP?

The easiest way is by using AICCU, though if one wants to configure it manually or because AICCU doesn't support your platform, then you can pick your Operating system from the following list. AICCU can configure static, heartbeat and AYIYA tunnels.

Warning The manual methods described below only apply to static proto-41 tunnels. AYIYA and heartbeat tunnels require AICCU.

IBM AIX

IBM's AIX has full IPv6 support since its 4.3 release in 1998.

To configure a tunnel we first define the CTI (Configured Tunnel Interface) by executing the deftunnel configuration method: /usr/lib/methods/deftunnel -c if -s CTI -t cti
Then we build the tunnel: /usr/sbin/ifconfig cti inet6 ::0.0.0.0/128 ::[PoP IPv4 Endpoint]
Remove the local endpoint, as the remote one tells where the packets need to go
/usr/sbin/ifconfig cti inet6 ::0.0.0.0/128 delete
/usr/sbin/ifconfig cti inet6 [Your IPv6 Endpoint] [PoP IPv6 Endpoint]
route add -inet6 default [PoP IPv6 Endpoint]
