It is quite easy to setup a ipv6 testbed at home now.
(1) setup linux ipv6 router
apt-get install radvd # on a vm or real box debian
and copy the sample config to /etc/radvd.conf
/etc/init.d/radvd restart
(2) linux workstation autconfig
The linux workstation should be able to autoconfig an ipv6 address ( without ” iface br0 inet6 auto” in /etc/network/interface)
ip a
br0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default
inet6 2001:db8:1:0:218:8bff:fe81:27fb/64 scope global mngtmpaddr dynamic
inet6 fe80::218:8bff:fe81:27fb/64 scope link
(3) test
ping6 2001:db8:1:0:218:8bff:fe81:27fb
PING 2001:db8:1:0:218:8bff:fe81:27fb(2001:db8:1:0:218:8bff:fe81:27fb) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 2001:db8:1:0:218:8bff:fe81:27fb: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=2.64 ms
ssh 2001:db8:1:0:218:8bff:fe81:27fb ( it is working as well!)
