Glad to hear people are successfully using my IPv6 guide for Maxis.  Maxis seems to have increased their bandwidth to Singapore very recently so IPv6 speeds have greatly improved.  The end point of the tunnel is located in Singapore and HE has direct peering with Maxis it seems.

Interested to hear feedback and ways to improve the IPv6 guide to make it easier and more successful to follow.

As for why Maxis doesn't provide native IPv6?  I think it's a matter of cost.  Very few end users are requesting it while it would be expensive to reconfigure and test all of Maxis's routers and firewalls.  But since the IPv4 address range has been fully allocated, it is only a matter of time before IPS's like Maxis with provide native IPv6 addresses.  Double NATing is not a good long term solution.

Hi,

Need some clarification on this line

CODE
All traffic from the IPv4 Tunnel address needs to go to the router (again, use the IPv4 address given in the email as the foreign_addr value). In this command, the router automatically maps 0.0.0.1 to the first IPv4 address of the Internet interface.

:nat tmpladd intf=eInternet type=nat outside_addr=0.0.0.1 inside_addr=0.0.0.1 protocol=ipv6


Does this means I type in according to the sample above, or do i replace the 0.0.0.1 of the outside_addr to the IPv4 address given in the email ?

Thanks.

If you are using the Singapore HE Tunnel broker address, then enter as is all the instructions except the parts with xxxx.  You only need to change the parts that have "xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx" to the IPv6 block your tunnel broker provides.  Have made that clearer in the instructions, thank you pointing that out.

Thanks ! will try it out once i get home and see it get me out of the problem currently facing with Maxis Fiber

By the way, lets say after testing and feel like removing it, do you have the steps to reverse the config done?

Note: have not registered with HE Tunnel, so have no idea whats the email content smile.gif

Good question.  I just added:

"If at any point something goes wrong, simply turn off and on again your Maxis router and the changes will be removed, until you do the :saveall instruction at the end."

In addition, if for whatever reason, IPv6 stops working, all operating systems I've used fall back to using IPv4 instead until it starts working again without notifying the end user.

Have also added the suggestion of adding a backup before starting so the change can be reverted.

Finally, if everything goes really wrong, can always do a factory reset on the Maxis router and set it up again.

Hi again,

Tried following your guide but got stuck when trying to execute the scripts. After login to the router with Administrator and password, at the prompt key in :tunnel 6in4 add ifname=6in4tunnel but get unknown command.

any idea ?

It may also be because the user you are accessing the router with does not have permission to make these modifications.  If you PM me a screenshot I think I can work out what is going wrong.

I'm using the Administrator as the user. Will PM you the screenshot tonight when i get back home.

Thanks
