Internet Server and HomeLan into one subnet?

Shadow Hawkins on Friday, 31 October 2008 21:51:27

Hi all, just wanted to ask, if its possible to install a subnet for my internetserver (public IPv4) and my HomeLAN so that I can use IPv6 at home and within the same subnet as the server. technically i would say no chance. But as ipv6 is much different there might be a way. Thx anyway

Internet Server and HomeLan into one subnet?

Assuming that you mean that your internet server and Home LAN are not on the same subnet, then one thing you can do is if both your subnet and internet server have IPv6 addresses, is simply adjust your firewall rules to allow each to access each other. Since there is no NAT it is simply the Firewall rules which will control the access permissions. I would be curious to know what the aim of the exercise is?

I guess he has two sixxs tunnels and one subnet routed to one tunnel. Perhaps he wants reverse delegation for both of his networks without asking for another subnet. Please provider more information to get help. :-)

Hi there, basically, I want the same thing. My environment: There's a (hired) server on the internet, with public IP address and there's my NAT'ed home network behind a DSL router and my provider refuses to give out IPv6 addresses, yet. The router itself doesn't even know thatr IPv6 exists. I have one ayiya tunnel and I'm planning to acquire a subnet soon. My aim: My home network hosts and my internet server shall be in the same subnet. I don't want to leave my computer running as a router for the other hosts to get ipv6 connectivity (and tunnel routing). So, I'd like my internet server to be my RA server for my home network, keeping the tunnel (which I'd convert from ayiya to static). At the moment I'm using some IPv4 VPN with the internet server being my VPN server, routing all my traffic. I want my other (home network) hosts to be available to public via IPv6 and vice-versa. My Idea: 1. Make the ayiya tunnel static and set it up on the internet server 2. Configure the internet server to be my router 3. Give subnet IPs to my home network hosts ...and what now? Is there a way to get all hosts into my subnet without the need of my computer to be running all the time while keeping IPv6 connectivity for all other home network hosts? Thanks for reading! Hope you can help. Greetings, Jan
