Hi,
Could someone please guide me how to setup Raspberry Wifi to provide IPv6 address only?
I am using Raspberry Pi 3 with below OS details.
uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 4.1.18-v7+ #846 SMP Thu Feb 25 14:22:53 GMT 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux
Please let me know if more details needed.
Reagrds,
Sachin
Re: Force IPv6 only Wifi from Raspberry
It would be a bit complicated to do, but can be done. What is the mfg and model of the Router/Gateway that you are using on your network?
You would have to set the Network connection to use IPv6 "Link local only". You would also need a dual stack router if you do not plan on placing the devices behind a machine running pfSense to handle that group. See the following links. There are more out there if you do a search for "debian jessie lan ipv6 only".

Ren: Now listen, Cadet. I've got a job for you. See this button? Ren: Don't touch it! It's the History Eraser button, you fool! Stimpy: So what'll happen? Ren: That's just it. We don't know. Maybe something bad, maybe something good.

Re: Force IPv6 only Wifi from Raspberry
Hi,
switch off Ipv4 and you have ipv6 only
Things you should consider:
Do you have native IPv6?
Can you split a /64-subnet from your /56 or /48?
Has your router static assigned addresses or dynamically assigned addresses?
The first case is easier. The last case would require dhcpv6-prefix-delegation.
Do you have already a DNS64/NAT64-gateway in your network? If not, would you use an external (public) DNS64/NAT64-provider?
Are you familiar with radvd (RA + DNS) and dhcpv6?
Good luck!
