IPV6ADDR_2 |
IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES (prefix included) contains a list with additional IPv6 addresses |

This perl script is setup with exacts values :
Your IPv6 address : 3ffe:b00:c18:1fff:0:0:0:287
Freenet6 IPv6 address (server side) : 3ffe:b00:c18:1fff:0:0:0:286
Freenet6 IPv4 address (server side): 206.123.31.102
Your IPv4 address : 62.158.197.92
Freenet6 name | Freenet6 value | Explanation | Which file is related | Where to put this value |
---|---|---|---|---|
Your IPv6 address : | 3ffe:b00:c18:1fff:0:0:0:287 | Freenet6 assigned a piece of
their IPv6 address space to you. The small piece is one IPv6 address,
not more!
Therefore, prefix length is 127 |
i.e. ifcfg-sit2 |
IPV6ADDR="3ffe:b00:c18:1fff:0:0:0:287/127" |
Freenet6 IPv6 address (server side) : | 3ffe:b00:c18:1fff:0:0:0:286 | They also assigned a relating IPv6 address on their tunnel server (it's now a point-to-point IPv6 link) | Value is locally not needed (but for easier ping6 tests you can put it in /etc/hosts) | |
Freenet6 IPv4 address (server side): | 206.123.31.102 | The IPv4 address of their tunnel server | i.e. ifcfg-sit2 |
IPV6TUNNELIPV4="206.123.31.102" |
Your IPv4 address : | 62.158.197.92 | Your global IPv4 address, static or dynamically assigned | interface or ial-up configuration |
Value must be already assigned static or dynamically, otherwise no Internet connection is possible |
