Changing local IPV4 endpoint
Shadow Hawkins on Sunday, 14 February 2010 13:30:39
Hello
Last year I decided to spend some time to dip my feet in the IPV6 world and I decided to try SIXXS to create a tunnel.
My setup is an adsl connection terminated on an openwrt 8.09.2 router.
I have a static IP, therefore i decided to create a static tunnel.
The tunnel was requested and granted in august last year, but due to lack of ping replies was at some point disabled.
Due to lack of time, i did not spend time back then in order to troubleshoot the issue, but i would like to do so now.
By looking at the Tunnel Information I see that the listed IP is not the right one (looks like I entered the wrong info in August, by since a lot of time has passed, I'm not sure).
The question is: how do i change to local endpoint IP to the right one?
For the life of me I cannot find a way on the site, even if i see mentions in the FAQ that this should be doable.
Any hints?
Thanks in advance

I think this is possible via "change tunnel type" on the tunnel details page.

But where is it exaclty?
Under this url?
https://www.sixxs.net/home/tunnelinfo/?XXXXX
But no buttons there for me. Is it because the tunnel is "Administratively set down"?

Hi Paolo,
the tunnel was never activated.
09-07-08 10:37 Requested tunnel T22240 from xx.xx.xx.xx to PoP ittrn01
09-07-08 10:37 The roundtrip seem pretty nice at 24/25 ms..
09-07-08 19:40 Tunnel T22240 to xx.xx.xx.xx was admin disabled (Endpoint didn't ping)
I have now activated the tunnel. You should now be able to change your endpoint to your new IPv4 address and enable the tunnel. Please remember that your IPv4 endpoint has to ping!
Have fun with your IPv6 connectivity and thank you for using SixXS.
Best Regards
Bernhard

Thanks, the menus appeared, and i was able to change my local endpoint.
It seems it is even working.
Now in order not to incur in penalties, as my openwrt setup is still shaky, what should i do? Can i disable the interface until i'm fully ready? (One issue is that my openwrt is able to get the external IP by using an ADSL modem in half bridge mode, but i do not control the external modem that much, and i'm afraid its default is to stop pings. I have to see how to fix that)..
Thanks
