I have been using a routerboard router for 3 years now and find it excellent. My question is how do i do the following
1 Bt are in the process of setting up IPV6 on their network so Id like to setup my router750 to get this IPV6 from the ISP. How would I go about this. I have looked around and could it be as simple as
I am assuming that ether13 would be changed to ether1
2 can I still keep my internal ipv4 addresses for my own network.
3 Do I need to setup a firewall on the IPV6 Options or will the existing one work ? And if I need to can I just copy my existing firewall rules accross
I’m not totally sure about how you will acquire an address from BT when they switch it on. In answer to your other questions, yes, you keep the IPv4 addresses as they are now, you’ll have a separate pool, or single IPv6 address. Firewalling will have to be setup separately for v6 with new rules, you can probably copy the existing ones and change IP addresses to their v6 counterparts. Try and think of IPv4 and 6 separately, they just happen to be using the same physical connection. I think you might be able to use mangle on v6 to add the packets to the same queue that you’re using at the moment, so all will be controllable afaik.
I was hoping that there was an elegant solution like the current dhcp client setup for ipv4.
As for the IPV6 Stuff I just wanted to get ahead of the game and have everything ready to change over. I have ordered a couple of books on IPV6 to fill in my knowledge gaps.
