I have 3 intel NUCs
I wanted to use fabricd/ospfv6 and IPv6 addresses for a 3 node ring / mesh network. I had many many issues trying to do this:
I confirmed this was not a firewall issue by installing additional ethernet adapters in the 3 NUCs to have a parallel IPv6 network (albeit 2.5gbe instead of 20gbe). This worked perfectly and confirmed (i think) i am not making any mistakes with the firewall.
I thought this was all because i am brand new to proxmox (it still might be the reason!)
But after more testing it appears this is 100% an issue with IPv6 and thunderbolt adapters on Proxmox VE 8 (i don't know if this a proxmox issue or underlying debian issue)
I will switch to IPv4 for now as IPv6 wasn't really doing anything for me other than i default to IPv6 in my network at this juncture for purpose of learning.
I still have the repro if anyone is interested in me collecting any information.
I wanted to use fabricd/ospfv6 and IPv6 addresses for a 3 node ring / mesh network. I had many many issues trying to do this:
- ICMPv6 worked ok - so i can v6 ping just fine....
- ssh wouldn't work over IPv6 on the thunderbolt interface (but IPv4 was fine)
- setting up second ceph node would fail with communication issues
