Hi,
I am trying to configure the following network topology using IPv6 addresses:
Laptop - FreeBSD Router A - FreeBSD Router B - PC
The above topology is not connected to the internet, I am only experimenting IPv6 v/s IPv4.
I have assigned the following IP addresses to the system above, could anyone tell me if it is the right addressing scheme to be used.
Laptop Windows XP:
After installation, there is an IPv6 address generated by the Local-link which is
fe80::21b:38ff:fefb:2442%5
I have also configured a static IPv6 address : ipv6 adu 5/feee::1
I have also given the default gateway as the Local-Link - NOT SURE IF THIS IS RIGHT?
ROUTER A:
I have noticed that there is already an IPv6 address on each interface:
ROUTER B:
Local-Link address:
PC:
Local-Link: fe80::212:3fff:fe8b:589a%4
Static IP: feee::2
Default Gateway same as local-link.
How can I use the IPv6 addresses generated by the Local-Link to setup the network or is it better to use static IPv6 addresses, if so am I using the right IP address scheme. I tried to make some PING tests but the only one working if from fec0::1 -> fec0::2
Many thanks and regards.
