Raspberry Pi as IPV6 only router

Thu Jul 21, 2016 5:07 pm

Hello Raspberry Gurus,
Need some help regarding on how to set up Raspberry Pi as IPV6 only router. I am trying to set this up from past 2 weeks, Couldn't get any lead/progress on this setup. We are trying to setting this up to allocate IPv6 only addresses to our mobile clients.
FYI, I've successfully set the IPv4 router using ISC-DHCP and Hostapd configs but not working for me in ipv6 :x :evil:

It would be helpful if you have any instruction on how to set up IPV6 router.

Cheers,
Rmeka

You should be able to do that fairly easily with something like radvd or ndpd, There's likely plenty of guides for IPv6 routing on Linux (I've not looked at it for years as I've done it on Solaris - Linux wasn't very good at IPv6 when I was experimenting with it)

You may want to consider dnsmasq. It's one of those little Linux "super-programs" that's a bear to learn, but has incredible functionality. It's definitely worth considering if you have plenty of experience with editing configuration files and Perl scripts.
