TomatoUSB

Just wanted to thank everyone involved in making the IPv6 support and interface on the current git version of Tomato-RT.

I am using it successfully (compiled from source 2 hours ago) on an Asus RT-N16 with 6in4 mode using HE tunnel broker.
I will test it in native mode when my ISP start testing it (I opted in to participate).

I successfully connected to my dedicated server in IPv6 via SSH and on several IPv6 webpages (both from a Windows 7 x64 machine).
I am also able to ping6 various IPv6 addresses from my Ubuntu 10.10 machine. Still got a problem with my bind9 install on it which refuses to listen on the IPv6 address (no IPv6 interfaces found) but I don't think it is related to Tomato. ;)

Thanks again! :)

P.S: Just wondering if you are planning some DHCPv6 static IPv6 per MAC like it exists for IPv4? Or is it already there and I haven't found it? :p

DHCP doesn't exist for IPv6, so no. :) Addresses are derived based on the MAC and the subnet being advertised by radvd.

Err… DHCPv6 exists, it's just not nearly as necessary, thanks to 64-bit subnets and stateless autoconfiguration.

TomatoUSB now includes a DHCPv6 client, for retrieving configuration settings from your ISP (where applicable), but at the moment there's no compelling reason to include a DHCPv6 server.

I'm planning to add options to the Static DHCP page for automatically creating IPv6 DNS entries, like those that are created in IPv4 using the entered hostnames, but I'm still not entirely sure what the best way to do it is. (In the meantime, for myself, I'm using a script to automatically add to dnsmasq the hostname/IPv6 address mappings for machines on my network.)

Apologies - I didn't realize DHCPv6 was ratified (because other than more stratified addressing at ISPs, its value appears to be somewhat dubious). Never mind me.

I know it is not really necessary, I already assigned some static IPv6 from my /64 to my servers behind the router even if they get assigned one cryptic one from their MAC address. But still that would be nice. :)

The automatic hostname/IPv6 mapping could be a good option I had not thought of this one.
