IPv6 Networking Overview
A default installation of Bering-uClibc 4.x has IPv6 partially enabled:
- The
ipv6.kokernel Module is loaded automatically. - As a result, IPv6 addresses are assigned to each network interface - "link local" addresses and also "global" addresses if an IPv6 router is present.
- Most of the daemon Packages support IPv6 in addition to IPv4. For example:
-
dropbear.lrp(SSH) -
mhttpd.lrp(HTTP) -
ntpd.lrp(NTP)
-
However, the default installation of Shorewall[4] disables most IPv6 operations.
For full IPv6 operation it is necessary to install and configure additional Packages as described in the Sub-Chapters.
