Hello!

I have an IPv6 that assigns me OVH.

I have proxmox installed next to the virtualizor panel, I have created different IPv6 ranges from the ipv6 given to me by the provider.

The problem is as follows: I can't get IPv6 to ping KVM, however, LXC containers work correctly, example:

LXC ping:

Code:
The response for '2001:41d0:303:af8f:0000:0000:1888:2d44' using IPv6 is:
PING 2001:41d0:303:af8f:0000:0000:1888:2d44(2001:41d0:303:af8f::1888:2d44) 56 data bytes

KVM does not ping:

Code:

PING 2001:41d0:303:af8f:0000:0000:1d69:54d6(2001:41d0:303:af8f::1d69:54d6) 56 data bytes

Do I have to do any special proxmox configuration to make IPv6 work on KVM servers?

From KVM if I ping to google I get this error:

Code:
[root@cp1nvme ~]# ping6 ipv6.google.com
PING ipv6.google.com(par21s05-in-x0e.1e100.net (2a00:1450:4007:812::200e)) 56 data bytes

^C

[root@cp1nvme ~]#
 
I've noticed the following.

From inside the KVM server I can correctly ping an ipv6 assigned to the server, but I can't ping the gateway. In case it can help to detect the problem.

Code:
[root@cp1nvme ~]# ping6 2001:41d0:303:af8f:bd8a:4592:ef08:67
