qjail-ipv6-testing(8)	     System Manager's Manual	   qjail-ipv6-testing(8)

NAME
     qjail-ipv6-testing -- Details explaining how to perform testing of ipv6 ad-
     dresses used in qjail non-vnet and vnet jails.

THINGS NOT COVERED HERE
     Setting  up  host ipv6 connectivity from your public ISP or local ipv6 con-
     nectivity across your LAN.

TESTING DESCRIPTION
     This testing setup is limited to just the	host  where  qjail  is	running.
     It's  intended  to  be used to test the connectivity between the hosts ipv6
     address and the ipv6 addresses you assigned to your  qjail  non-vnet  jails
     and  vnet	jails  to  verify  things are working as they should. The host's
     firewall should not have any bearing on this testing, But a firewall in the
     vnet jail will have an effect. To simplify things the vnet jail should  not
     have  any	firewall  running, or must have a rule to default to passing all
     ipv6 packets from the ping6 command.

     ipv6 has a range of ipv6 ip address numbers reserved  for	local  LAN  use.
     Defined as fc00::/7 this is just like 10.0.0.0/8

     To  test  qjail  non-vnet jails and vnet jails for local ipv6 connectivity,
     the host needs a default local ipv6 ip address. Use  this	command  on  the
     host to create one. Replace fxp0 with the interface name your jails are us-
     ing.

       ifconfig fxp0 inet6 fc00::1 alias
	       and to remove it
       ifconfig fxp0 inet6 fc00::1 -alias

     The ipv6 addresses used for jail testing are coded like this.

     qjail  create  -4 10.0.10.10 -6 fc00::2 non-vnet1
     qjail   create   -4   10.0.10.20	-6   fc00::3,fc00::4,fc00::5   non-vnet2
     qjail create -4 10.0.10.30 -6 fc00::6,fc00::7,fc00::8  vnet10

     From a vnet jail console you can ping6 the hosts ipv6 address this way
       ping6 -c 2 fc00::1

     From the host you can ping6 any jail using its ipv6 address this way
       ping6 -c 2 fc00::4    # This is the non-vnet2 jail
       ping6 -c 2 fc00::7    # This is the vnet10 jail

     For your information; as of 2016, Time Warner cable provider who is merging
     with  spectrum  provides ipv6 service as part of their normal internet ser-
     vice at no extra cost. This is becoming normal for all large internet  ser-
     vices providers.
