sit1 not passing traffic on Centos 5
[nl] Shadow Hawkins on Wednesday, 23 May 2007 11:43:53
On my Centos 5 machine I am unable to make sit1 to work properly. Configuring the interface and activating it is not the problem. The config in /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-sit1:
DEVICE=sit1 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none IPV6INIT=yes IPV6TUNNELIPV4=213.204.193.2 IPV6TUNNELIPV4LOCAL=84.244.132.201 IPV6ADDR=2001:960:2:595::2/64
The interface is up:
sit1 Link encap:IPv6-in-IPv4 inet6 addr: 2001:960:2:595::2/64 Scope:Global inet6 addr: fe80::54f4:84c9/128 Scope:Link UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1480 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Routing is taken care of:
Kernel IPv6 routing table Destination Next Hop Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 2001:888:10fa::12/128 2001:888:10fa::12 UC 0 6 0 sit1 2001:960:2:595::/64 :: U 256 0 0 sit1 fe80::/64 :: U 256 0 0 eth0 fe80::/64 :: U 256 0 0 sit1 ::/0 :: U 1 0 0 sit1 ::1/128 :: U 0 3 1 lo 2001:960:2:595::/128 :: U 0 0 2 lo 2001:960:2:595::2/128 :: U 0 0 1 lo fe80::54f4:84c9/128 :: U 0 0 1 lo fe80::219:d1ff:fe13:cd5e/128 :: U 0 0 1 lo fe80::250:56ff:fec0:1/128 :: U 0 0 1 lo fe80::250:56ff:fec0:8/128 :: U 0 0 1 lo ff00::/8 :: U 256 0 0 eth0 ff00::/8 :: U 256 0 0 sit1
When I check with tcpdump on eth0 I do notice my system reports the tunnel is not working:
11:04:03.893503 IP broker04.ams.nl.sixxs.net > balin.waakhond.net: IP6 aragorn.hugo.vanderkooij.org.49755 > cl-1430.ams-04.nl.sixxs.net.traceroute: UDP, length 16 11:04:03.893535 IP balin.waakhond.net > broker04.ams.nl.sixxs.net: ICMP balin.waakhond.net protocol 41 port 0 unreachable, length 92
As far as I can tell the modules list is fine too:
Module Size Used by ip_conntrack_netbios_ns 6977 0 ipt_LOG 10177 1 ipt_REJECT 9537 1 xt_state 6209 10 ip_conntrack 53153 2 ip_conntrack_netbios_ns,xt_state nfnetlink 10713 1 ip_conntrack iptable_filter 7105 1 ip_tables 17029 1 iptable_filter ip6t_REJECT 9409 1 xt_tcpudp 7105 20 ip6table_filter 6849 1 ip6_tables 18181 1 ip6table_filter x_tables 17349 7 ipt_LOG,ipt_REJECT,xt_state,ip_tables,ip6t_REJECT,xt_tcpudp,ip6_tables ipv6 250369 39 ip6t_REJECT
I tried to dig around a bit based on the error but could not find any hints via google or in the forum here. Any suggestions towards a solution are welcome as I ran out of ideas at the moment.
sit1 now passing traffic on Centos 5

Right. The sound you just heard is me hitting myself with a LART. If one makes a mistake to fill in the incorrect IPv4 address the tunnel is oddly connected. Too bad it didn't shout "stupid" to me. When I put in a remark and restated the interface it worked fine:
#IPV6TUNNELIPV4LOCAL=84.244.132.201
I just coded the following metal subroutine:
IF [ 201 -ne 155 ] THEN LART HUGO FI
Thanks, Hugo.
