Cisco RVS4000

Hi, i'm about to request a subnet to SixXS, but first i would like to ask something related to the router in the subject:
i read on the internet that since older firmware's versions you could set up a tunnel, while now the only IPv6 configurations available are related to the LAN (dhcp, routing advertisement).
Is it really this way? If yes, which would be the better way of setting up my home network?
I already have a linux router box with a tunnel up and running, so the simplest thing to do could be using that machine with forwarding and maybe disabling the IPv6 mode in the cisco.
i'm just wondering what can be done with the cisco e what can't.
Thanks for reading and sorry for my english.

An RVS4000 is a 'linksys' model, that is, it does not run IOS and thus all the Cisco IOS related commands and comments you will find do not apply. Cisco probably wants you to buy a big box instead of you want to do this kind of stuff as from the little that I know about the RVS4000 it won't do tunneling.

Thanks Jeroen, looks like i made a bad choice buying that router: i didn't know it was not running IOS (i thought it was a Cisco product in effect, not only by the name) and this is really frustrating.

Hi Simone,
as I remember correctly my friend told me he is running a linksys router with some modified OS which runs the AICCU to hold up the sixxs ipv6 tunnel. It is some linux version.
Is this interesting for you? Do you want me to get more details about it?

Most likely that is one of the many variants of OpenWRT/DD-WRT etc. I am fairly sure that the RVS4000 is not supported by that yet and I am quite sure that Cisco does not ship AICCU per default.

Thanks for your help but i think that Jeroen is right: this router does not support DD-WRT or such firmwares.
