I was wondering if it would be possible to run parts of the TERENA Secretariat office network on IPv6 only.
Our office has a /24 IPv4 and a /48 IPv6 network since 2002, and all our public services are available on IPv4 and IPv6.
Since we have native IPv6 connectivity in our office, it seems that the first step would be to remove IPv4 from services that are only used internally.
This page keeps track of progress, bugs, and issues.
BTW, this is not the first time this has been tried out. For instance Arkko & Keranen did some interesting work in 2010.

Tinyproxy
Some of our systems have extra "security needs", and they are not allowed to initiate outgoing connections by default. This means that IP ACLs are used so that they can only reach neccessary services (SMTP gateway, DNS resolvers, NTP etc).
Because those hosts do need access to some web sites (mostly for software updates), we use a proxy server to allow them access to those domains.
If you have an IPv6-only host that only needs access to some outside HTTP resources, then this approach kills two birds with one stone:
- Many services are run on CDNs such as Akamai, which renders IP ACLs into a nightmare. A proxy solves this by allowing domains/URLs.
- Some services are only accessible via IPv4 (Microsoft Update, hostupdate.vmware.com, Secunia.com). A dual stack proxy does the protocol translation. If those web sites were the only problems on the IPv6-only system, this is just what you need, and you can avoid using additional complex systems such as NAT64/DNS64.
Because we do not need any caching, but only the access restriction part, I choose tinyproxy because it is very light weight and simple.
The only downside is that the tinyproxy that sits in Ubuntu 12.04 does not listen on both IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time
2013-01-04 Shame on me... I didn't test properly , but tinyproxy does work on both protocols
I assumed that this result:
netstat -tlnpvw | grep tinyproxy
tcp6 0 0 :::8888 :::* LISTEN 3946/tinyproxy
meant that it didn't listen on v4... but I was wrong.
Listen ::
#This will accept connections on IPv6, but also on IPv4: IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses are used:
#CONNECT Jan 04 15:29:13 [23566]: Connect (file descriptor 6): host.terena.org [::ffff:192.87.30.2]
Listen 0.0.0.0
# This will listen on IPv4 only
Listen 2001:610:148:dead::666
# This will listen only on the specified IPv6 address. Not nice, but workable.
Coda 2 drops support for IPv6
One of my users that joined our company recently needed to do some web editing stuff on her Apple computer. Other users have good experience with the Coda editor from panic.com. So I ordered and installed it from the Apple Store. Hadn't done this earlier but seems convenient. It was the new version 2 - whatever, let's go.
For some reason she could not connect to our web server. "Could not connect to server", "Not connected.":
Checked what was wrong and found out that version 2 dropped support for IPv6 , which renders it useless in our IPv6 only environment.
Copied the latest old version (1.7.5) and that works just fine. Questions about this on the Coda support list confirmed by fears.
Hopefully they add back IPv6 support, perhaps with a configuration switch. Until that time we won't upgrade.
As of December 2012, Coda is at version 2.0.7, and still no IPv6 support.
Remote support with IPv6-only VNC
While looking for a cross-platfrom remote support solution that does IPv6, I ended up using commercial software this time: RealVNC Enterprise Edition. This does some other handy things as well, such as AES encryption, system authentication, and an Accept/Reject dialog on the client.
By default it listens on both IPv4 and IPv6 but it can be easily configured to listen only on IPv6:
I use this to remotely support people. One important issue: you do have to know the network address before you can connect to it . There are two possibilties:
- In the office. All our computers autoconfigure themselves with the modified EUI64 interface identifier, which is based on the interface's MAC address. This works out of the box for Mac OSX 10.7/10.8, but on Windows you have to manually configure this (once). Note that this does not have to clash with privacy extensions; those can (and should, IMHO) still be disabled. This means that computers will have a(n extra) predictable address in the office, so you can assign easy to remember hostname to them, such as 'laptop-alice-wifi', 'laptop-alice-wired', etc. Note that this does not have to interfere with.
- Out of the office. People working from remote need to set up their Cisco AnyConnect VPN connection. Once that is done, they have IPv6 connectivity, bypassing any NAT boxes they might be behind. They either need to tell me their network address, or I can look it up on our VPN server.
An alternative for locating machines would be dynamic DNS, but I have not found an end-user-friendly and easy-to-administer cross platform solution for that - yet.
Microsoft AutoUpdate does not work in an IPv6-only environment
2011-03-28. Upon installing a Mac with OSX 10.7 and the applications we use, I connected it to our IPv6-only network. Everything went fine, until I tried to update Microsoft Office for Mac 2011:
Because the network does NAT64/DNS64, this must mean that AutoUpdate does some weird IPv4-only stuff. After connecting it temporarily to the dual stack network, I did get the updates immediately.
I created a couple of tcpdumps, and it looks like the AutoUpdate tool has some hardcoded logic that makes it only use A records for download.microsoft.com, which of course fail:
Interestingly, had the tool queried for a AAAA record, it would have worked:
administrators-macbook-pro:~ root# host -t aaaa download.microsoft.com download.microsoft.com is an alias for download.microsoft.com.nsatc.net. download.microsoft.com.nsatc.net is an alias for main.dl.ms.akadns.net. main.dl.ms.akadns.net is an alias for intl.dl.ms.akadns.net. intl.dl.ms.akadns.net is an alias for dl.ms.georedirector.akadns.net. dl.ms.georedirector.akadns.net is an alias for a767.ms.akamai.net. a767.ms.akamai.net has IPv6 address 2001:610:148:ffff:b0b0::58dd:d830 a767.ms.akamai.net has IPv6 address 2001:610:148:ffff:b0b0::58dd:d83a
Boo!!!
Ubuntu servers not ready
Trying to debug OpenDNSSEC packages on one of my IPv6-only systems but unfortunately some bumps in the way. The system keyserver.ubuntu.com does not have IPv6 connectivity, so adding GPG keys using apt-key does not work:

Samba
Our servers run Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, which ships with Samba 3.4.7, and this has proper IPv6 support. There is no global switch to make it listen to a specific IP version, but is not too difficult to make it listen to IPv6 only.
You need to tell it to only bind to a specific (hard coded) interface address in smb.conf
:
bind interfaces only = yes interfaces = 2001:610:148:beef::132/64
This machine is a server but sits in the Office network, so it was needed to disable autoconfiguration to prevent is from accumulating multiple IPv6 addresses (never a good idea for servers).
Contrary to what you would expect, setting /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/autoconf
to 0 does not do the trick. You have to explicitly state the interface. So I ended up with this /etc/network/interfaces
:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet6 loopback pre-up ip addr del 127.0.0.1/8 dev lo # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet6 static address 2001:610:148:beef::132 netmask 64 gateway 2001:610:148:beef::1 dev eth0 pre-up echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/autoconf
MacOSX Lion & Cisco AnyConnect
Late July 2011 Apple released version 10.7 of their OSX operating system, named Lion. This version has several major IPv6 related improvements, the most important I think is DHCPv6 support. This means that it is now possible to successfully run a Mac in an IPv6 only environment without any configuration.
Unfortunately for us AnyConnect has a serious bug on Lion, namely that there is no default gateway being configured for IPv6 upon connection.
Since we have several IPv6 only services these days, this is a true show stopper
What makes it worse it that the smbd in Lion has IPv6 support, and because our Windows 7 computers already support SMB via IPv6, this means that we could make our Samba server IPv6 only. But since AnyConnect does not work, this is not (yet) an option...
The issue has been reported already to Cisco and is filed as CSCts11510 (login required).
Rumour has it that a fix is available soon, so let's just keep our fingers crossed!
Update: As of 29 September 2011, AnyConnect 3.0.4235 fixes the problems! Now all my users can have IPv6 again from everywhere
Specific issues
Name resolution
To avoid name resolution problems, it was sometimes necessary to copy to the legacy 127.0.1.1
entries to ::1
in the /etc/hosts
file:
127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 ldap.terena.org ldap # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback ldap.terena.org ldap
127.0.0.1
On IPv6 only hosts, there is no IPv4 address configured on the network interface, so obviously all communications will go via IPv6.
There is still an IPv4 address (127.0.0.1) sitting on the loopback interface lo
. It's doesn't hurt but it should not be there if the host were to be truly IPv6 only
I could not find anywhere in /etc
where this address get added.
Since I can prevent it from getting added, I removed it after it gets added, by hacking configuring /etc/network/interfaces
:
# The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet6 loopback pre-up ip addr del 127.0.0.1/8 dev lo
This seems to work fine, only now ntp dumps core, but that has been fixed as of 17 April 2011.
Skype
Skype does not support IPv6 at all FAIL!!!! Please VOTE FOR IPv6 (<- this link appears to be dead as of January 2012, and the original poll is gone it seems... wonder why that happened...)
I've set-up a poll on http://www.change.org/petitions/skype-add-ipv6-support-to-skype , please vote there so Skype can be persuaded to add IPv6 support
FYI the first request for IPv6 enabled Skype date back to 2004!!
Cisco Catalyst 3750
This switch (WS-C3750G-24TS-E) does not support IPv6 access lists on VLANs.
2011-10 Replaced with a WS-C3750X-48T-S and a WS-C3750X-48PF-S.
This one does IPv6 access lists on VLANs, but I had to use sdm templates for this. In hindside the old one might have supported it as well.
But because that died after powering it off to take it out of service, no way to find that out anymore
Cisco AP1200
These access points do not support IPv6. Need replacing anyway. The AIR-AP1142N-E-K9 could be a drop-in replacement. Also does N.
December 2011: after successful participation in the Eduroam-as-a-Service from SURFnet/Wentzo wireless, these accesspoints were not needed any more.
I donated them to the System & Network Engineering master education of the University of Amsterdam.
Sharp AR-M276
This copier/printer does not support IPv6 at all.
Could not retrieve e-mail addresses for 'scan to email' after LDAP server went IPv6 only. Hack Work-around: manually put addresses in.
Our big Sharp MX2600n has IPv6 support, so we should get rid of this clunker on the first occasion.
Google Mini
This box does not support IPv6. Needs replacing in 2011 anyway, but don't forget to check!!
Axis Q1755 web cam
Can be configured to do IPv6, but only PING works
Investigate further.
2011-12-20 Reset the cam and started with fresh config, now works fine over IPv6.
Sharp MX-2600N printer
After enabling IPv6 on our Sharp MX2600N printer, the network stack actually works, but only a couple of services are running IPv6:
root@expat:~# nmap -6 2001:610:148:beef::134 Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2011-03-01 10:31 CET Interesting ports on 2001:610:148:beef::134: Not shown: 996 closed ports PORT STATE SERVICE 21/tcp open ftp 23/tcp open telnet 515/tcp open printer 631/tcp open ipp Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 2.29 seconds
This is in stark contrast to what runs on IPv4:
root@expat:~# nmap --system-dns 192.87.30.134 Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2011-03-01 10:35 CET Interesting ports on sharp-mx2600n.terena.org (192.87.30.134): Not shown: 991 closed ports PORT STATE SERVICE 21/tcp open ftp 23/tcp open telnet 80/tcp open http 443/tcp open https 515/tcp open printer 631/tcp open ipp 5900/tcp open vnc 9100/tcp open jetdirect 50001/tcp open unknown Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 2.37 seconds
Now I'm trying to find out how to print using IPP from Windows 7.
Ecdysis
Some tests indicate the Ecdysis works well.
Also, they presented at our own conference last year
Take into consideration!
PECL radius
IPv6 doesn't work. Needed for TERENA web site. Update 2011-03-01: by upgrading Pear_Auth, Pear Live_User was able to use LDAP (via IPv6), without the Radius overhead.
MySQL
MySQL at this moment does not support IPv6 connections, but the development versions seem to support it (sort of). There are tools to make it work, such as https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/EGEE/IPv6CARE.
Not A Problem Here: we have only one host running MySQL, and that will be phased out in the future any way.
Update 2013-03-22: We were forced to use MySQL for some stuff, but the version in Ubuntu 12.04 appears to have IPv6 support . I configured it to listen to IPv6 only:
bind-address = '::'
apt-get
security.ubuntu.com
does not work, so no security updates. Workaround: use local mirror nl.archive.ubuntu.com
for security updates.
Update 2013-03-12: This has been fixed : https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/foundations-bugs/2013-March/140037.html
Pear Net_Socket
Does not like IPv6 addresses, wrote patch.
ntp
ntp.ubuntu.com
does not work. We are able to use SURFnet'schime3.surfnet.nl
andchime4.surfnet.nl
however:visser@svn:~$ ntpq -pn remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== +2001:610:508:11 .GPS. 1 u 360 1024 377 4.499 -0.340 0.483 *2001:610:0:800b .PPS. 1 u 192 1024 377 4.746 1.525 0.089
- dumps core without IPv4 loopback address. This has been fixed in 1:4.2.4p8+dfsg-1ubuntu2.1 .
Confluence and JIRA LDAP auth via IPv6
Authentication on dual stack LDAP servers does not work. Using an IPv6-only hostname does work. For us this works, because our LDAP server is IPv6 only.
Radiator
Cannot use IPv6 LDAP server. Filed support ticket at Open.com.au. Fixed as of 2011-02-12. Also make sure to add flags to any custom perl hooks:
my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new('ldap://ldap.terena.org',inet6=>1);
.
We use Radiator for our Eduroam set-up. Our instance (radius.terena.org
is connected upstream to SURFnet's radius servers.
I worked together with SURFnet to do some IPv6 debugging, and since 12 April 2011 the TERENA-SURFnet radius connection is using only IPv6
In the next months we will be participating in a Eduroam-as-a-service pilot. This would mean our current (IPv4 only) Cisco AP1200's would not need to connect any more.
That would leave our Cisco ASA5505s as the only IPv4 radius clients.
If Cisco fixes that, then radius.terena.org
can become IPv6 only as well.
Listmanager
This is a custom email list manager, running on Erasmus. 2 lists were doing queries to ldap.terena.org
. Unfortunately the Net::LDAP in Ubuntu Hardy (libnet-ldap-perl
) is too old and does not recognise the inet6 paramater. Hacked Fixed by copying /usr/share/perl5/Net/LDAP.pm
from a Lucid box.
Nmap
Nmap only recognizes IPv6 resolvers by specifying "--system-dns
"
Mtr
Name resolution does not work with IPv6 only name servers
Exact Globe 2003
This financial software package runs on Windows 2003 Server, which supports IPv6.
It also requires Microsoft SQL Server, and the version we run (SQL Server 2005) seems to speak IPv6 as well.
So based on that it looks like it could work.
However, after more close inspection it does not look too encouraging:
- The update process involves logging in and downloading patches from https://update.exactsoftware.com and https://eportal.exact.nl, which are IPv4 only.
- The main Exact website is IPv4 only.
- All the different sub sites are IPv4 only:
- Searching for "ipv6" on the Exact website yields 0 results.
- Phoning Exact customer support if their software will work with IPv6: "What? IPv6? What kind of operating system is that?" +1 for this, but still FAIL.
Having a software package on a dedicated Windows server, with a dedicated SQL server is quite some overhead, so I was interested in their new web based product Exact Online.
The Exact Online web site (surprise surprise) can't be reached via IPv6. But if everything is just running through HTTP(S), then a NAT64/DNS64 solution might make things work.
WinSCP
Upgrade to 4.2.8 or later to get IPv6 going.
EMS PostgresQL/MySQL manager
Tunneling via SSH does not work. Native Postgres connections work, so the bug must be in sshfwd.dll
.
Confirmed by EMS, but not yet fixed.
Work-around was to not use SSH tunneling anymore, but directly connecting to the database server. Have set up proper rules in pg_hba.conf
.
Since the cryptographic shield of SSH was now gone, I have configured all non-local entries in pg_hba.conf
to force SSL, such as:
# Erasmus hostssl all all 2001:610:148:dead::2/128 password
TurtoiseSVN
Works, but some weird things: I had some repositories checked out with TurtoiseSVN, using my SSH keys from Putty/Pageant. Any actions on the repository started to have a really long delay after switching off IPv4 on the subversion server. Fixed after using the right repository URL format, in my case using the Putty session name instead of the host name. This session has everything set properly already. In my case the hostname is svn.terena.org
, and the PuTTY session name is svn
.
Windows Remote Desktop Client
The "Remote Desktop client" in Windows 7 (mstsc.exe
) has some weird behavior. An RDP connection to a Windows 7 computer using a hostname that only has a AAAA record takes 11 seconds. mstsc.exe
does an A query first, gets back a No such name, then wait 11 seconds, then asks for and receives the AAAA record, and then immediately connects. |
FWbuilder
We use this excellent tool to create and install iptables/ip6tables scripts on our Ubuntu hosts.
FWBuilder is the tool for easy, understandable, object based firewalls.
We have a commercial license because I wanted the Windows version, but I think it's worth every penny. Linux versions are GPL though.
There is a bug in the batch installer that makes it choke on IPv6 only hosts, but that is fixed as of 2011-04-27, in build 3532.
Friendly developer, and very responsive. Has fixed numerous corner cases that I have run into.
Mac OS X
DNS
2011-07-20 OSX Lion finally supports DHCPv6 Now autoconfiguration can work!
CIFS
CIFS client on Mac OS X does not support IPv6. Unable to file bug report due to lame web site ("An error has occurred. Please report the error to Apple Inc. by emailing the error detail to devbugs@apple.com.").
CIFS via IPv6 works in Lion. After upgrading all the Macs to Lion I can make our Samba server IPv6-only
CyberDuck
CyberDuck does not work with IPv6 hostnames. Use either literal IPv6 address, or IPv6-only host name godzilla.ipv6.terena.org
.
Semi-fixed in 4.0, but the default is to use IPv4 addresses when an address has both: http://trac.cyberduck.ch/ticket/2539#comment:15
So in order to use Cyberduck in TERENA, you'd have to change the defaults:
defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck connection.dns.ipv6 true
To Do
- VMware ESXi, Vcenter, VCB. These SHOULD work on IPv6. Curious if they really work on IPv6 only...
- Reconfigure Nagios checks so that either IPv6, IPv4, or both are monitored.

Hmmm, at a first look, I see a lot of problems which are really due to ignorance of IPv6 protocol.
1) DHCP is not needed in IPv6. DHCPv6 support in Lion is a nice plus because it allows easier transitions in dual-stack implementations, but it is useless on IPv6 only network. I suggest you study network autoconfiguration features of IPv6, because you can confusing IPv4 with IPv6. Autoconfiguration has absolutely nothing to do with DHCPv6, you are mixing apples and oranges.
2) IPv6 does not need any default gateway configured even in tunnels. This is also autoconfigured via router advertisement protocol (RA) via icmpv6. Are you sure there is a "bug" in the Cisco client, or the connecting network is not properly configured? What I have seen is mostly dumb administrators cutting icmp on IPv4 and thinking they must do the same on IPv6, without realising this is the main way things work on IPv6.
3) Catalyst 3750 supports IPv6 only through an upgraded license. This is probably why you can't configure IPv6 ACL :-) you lack the proper license.
Hope it helps.
Dick Visser
Hi Anonymous
Thanks for your comments. Let me responds to them:
1) If you define autoconfiguration as 'hosts can configure network connectivity themselves', then you do not need DHCP. To me autoconfiguration also means that hosts can resolve names, which implies obtaining at least one resolver address. This can be done using DHCPv6, which is supported by both Lion and Windows 7.
It is tragic that there has not been enough cooperation between various players (Apple, Microsoft, and the IETF) to collectively agree on an autoconfiguration mechanism that can do both and resolver address assignment. The windows of opportunity has closed now, as two similar but incompatible standards have emerged that are therefore useless.
But if both Microsoft and Apple get their acts together and also start supporting RFC5006, then we can switch off DHCPv6 again.
This should have been done in 2000-2001 of course.
2) I phrased the AnyConnect issue incorrectly. As per original bug report: "AnyConnect doesn't create a default route for IPv6 on Lion". Version 3.0.4 that just came out fixes things.
3) I have managed to get a set of new 3750s and they do support IPv6 ACLs. I'll write on that shortly.

What access point hardware are you using for wifi on your ipv6 only infrastructure? I'm in the process of setting up an ipv6 only test network, but I can't find any wifi gear that will let me completely disable ipv4. Thoughts?
Thanks for making this wiki public. Great to see the nice ipv6 steps being taken.
Dick Visser
We have outsourced our access point to a company called Wentzo, they run our eduroam infrastructure.
The IPv6-only SSID is configured to carry traffic only from a specific VLAN, which in this case does not route any IPv4 traffic.
I know that the base stations are remotely managed over IPv4 though... I have asked if this could be done over IPv4 but that was not possible at this time....
