How to set up Windows 2008 for a static IP
Shadow Hawkins on Thursday, 28 July 2011 13:59:36
Hey,
I'm not really a Windows person, but I've been tasked with setting up a Windows 2008 server.
I've managed to get the ipv6 on the server, but the problem I currently have is that I set it up on cmd, and not through the network control panel, which does involve a bit of complication.
I'm trying to set it up so that I can monitor DHCP and connection usage, but I can't use the Server Manager to set up the DHCP, because the connection is not recognised.
Is there a way to set up a static ipv6 connection using Network and connection sharing center? If so, how?
Thanks.

You can do it a couple of different ways. You can add a static IPv6 address the same way you would add a static IPv4 address (control panel, networking, network adapters, ect) or you can add it through the command line by doing a
"netsh int ipv6 add address [name of interface] [ipv6 address]"

Thanks, but to which interface would I add the ipv6 to? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I dont think simply adding the ipv6 endpoint and gateway to the static ipv4 ethernet connection would enable ipv6.
My current confituration is as follows:
Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : <removed>
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : <removed>
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 2<removed>
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : <removed>
Tunnel adapter Local Area Connection* 8:
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Tunnel adapter Local Area Connection* 9:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IPv6 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 2001:0:5ef5:79fd:b2:c41:3f57:fea5
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::b2:c41:3f57:fea5%12
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
Tunnel adapter SixXS:

That seems to be your main network adapter, add it to that. Do note that you need to use a /64 from your subnet for it. (the tunnel /64 does not work; well, you can add it, but it won't work ;).

That is Teredo, you should disable it ("netsh int ipv6 set teredo disabled" or something like that)

Thanks, and the gateway would be... the tunnel POP or my endpoint?

Due to the fact that you have a tunnel, you should already have a gateway for the tunnel, as such you can leave that option empty. You just need an IPv6 address on the interface, that is it.
