Proxmox Interface removing IPv6 configuration (OpenVZ Container)

[Hook]

Proxmox-Version: 2.3-12

When adding some other IPv4-Addresses via the proxmox Interface to a container, the v6 configuration gets removed. (one can set it again with vzctl set <VMID> --save --ipadd <IP-Addr>)
As far as I can see, there's still no bit of v6 support added to proxmox (besides the default OS configuration). Are you even thinking about supporting v6 in the future?

What do I have to do to get at least basic v6 support added to proxmox? Can I get this implemented when buying a support subscription?

Again, here's what needs to be done to get v6 working with proxmox:

1. Add this to your /etc/sysctl.conf:

net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
net.ipv6.conf.all.proxy_ndp=1

2. Add the v6-Address to your container:

vzctl set 102 --save --ipadd 2a04:a04:3:102::1

3. Add a proxy ARP entry:

ip -6 neigh add proxy 2a04:a04:3:102::1 dev vmbr0

4. OPTIONAL: Verify:

ping6 2a04:a04:3:102::1

yes, that is planned. But If you use bridged network, you can already configure vl inside the container/guest.

What do I have to do to get at least basic v6 support added to proxmox? Can I get this implemented when buying a support subscription?

A support subscription does not include development of new feature. But you can pay a developer to implement what you needs.

Hi,

this doesn't seem to be working anymore under Proxmox 3.0? Any reason for that?
