Hi Gang,
For a long time, I had a working setup with a Hurricane Electric IPv6
tunnel. Lately I've noticed that my IPv6 connectivity seems to be broken.
I went and created a new tunnel at he.net and seem to be able to
establish the tunnel without a problem, but traffic doesn't seem to want
to move.
My tunnel ifconfig:
he-ipv6: flags=209<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP> mtu 1480
inet6 2001:470:7:682::2 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x0<global>
inet6 fe80::ae6d:4332 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x20<link>
sit txqueuelen 0 (IPv6-in-IPv4)
RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
TX errors 22 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 22 collisions 0
I notice that all the packets are TX errors. I'm not sure how to
troubleshoot that.
ping6 ipv6.google.com just has 100% packet loss.
I'm still running iptables for firewalling, and have no outbound rules,
and the default is accept.
What do I need to check? I still know so little about IPv6...
Thanks,
-Brian
