### Configuration Files
1. On Debian/Ubuntu systems, an entry in "/etc/network/interfaces" can be used to statically assign the ::1 address for the local LAN. Example:
- iface eth1 inet6 static
- address 2001:db8:beef::1::1
- netmask 64
- mtu 1280
+ iface eth1 inet6 static
+ address 2001:db8:beef::1::1
+ netmask 64
+ mtu 1280
On non Debian/Ubuntu systems, a line can be put in a boot script, such as "ip -6 addr add 2001:db8:beef:1::1/64 dev eth1".
2. IPv6 forwarding needs to be enabled: put "echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding" in a boot script, or "net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1" in "/etc/sysctl.conf".
4. It is assumed that the config files go into something like "/etc/tinc/link" and "/etc/tinc/nets.boot" has an entry for "link". The following table can be used to guide configuration of routers:
* "routera" configuration for tinc (the master router):
- >cat tinc.conf
- Name = routera
- Mode = switch
- Interface = vpn6
+ >cat tinc.conf
+ Name = routera
+ Mode = switch
+ Interface = vpn6
- >cat tinc-up
- #!/bin/sh
- #Enable tinc
- ip -6 link set $INTERFACE up mtu 1280 txqueuelen 1000
- ip -6 addr add 2001:db8:beef::1/64 dev $INTERFACE
- ip -6 route add 2001:db8:beef::/48 dev $INTERFACE
- #Static routing table
- ip -6 route add 2001:db8:beef:2::/64 via 2001:db8:beef::2
- ip -6 route add 2001:db8:beef:3::/64 via 2001:db8:beef::3
- ip -6 route add 2001:db8:beef:4::/64 via 2001:db8:beef::4
-
- >cat tinc-down
- #!/bin/sh
- #Static routing table
- ip -6 route del 2001:db8:beef:2::/64 via 2001:db8:beef:::2
- ip -6 route del 2001:db8:beef:3::/64 via 2001:db8:beef:::3
- ip -6 route del 2001:db8:beef:4::/64 via 2001:db8:beef:::4
- #Disable tinc
- ip -6 route del 2001:db8:beef::/48 dev $INTERFACE
- ip -6 addr del 2001:db8:beef::1/64 dev $INTERFACE
- ip -6 link set $INTERFACE down
+ >cat tinc-up
+ #!/bin/sh
+ #Enable tinc
+ ip -6 link set $INTERFACE up mtu 1280 txqueuelen 1000

+ #Disable tinc
+ ip -6 route del 2001:db8:beef::/48 dev $INTERFACE
+ ip -6 addr del 2001:db8:beef::1/64 dev $INTERFACE
+ ip -6 link set $INTERFACE down
* "routerb" configuration for tinc (the other non-master routers will be like this one):
- >cat tinc.conf
- Name=routerb
- Mode = switch
- ConnectTo = routera
- Interface = vpn6
+ >cat tinc.conf
+ Name=routerb
+ Mode = switch
+ ConnectTo = routera
+ Interface = vpn6
- >cat tinc-up
- #!/bin/sh
- ip -6 link set $INTERFACE up mtu 1280
- ip -6 addr add 2001:db8:beef::2/64 dev $INTERFACE
- ip -6 route add default via 2001:db8:beef::1
+ >cat tinc-up
+ #!/bin/sh
+ ip -6 link set $INTERFACE up mtu 1280
+ ip -6 addr add 2001:db8:beef::2/64 dev $INTERFACE
+ ip -6 route add default via 2001:db8:beef::1
- >cat tinc-down
- #!/bin/sh
- ip -6 route del default via 2001:db8:beef::1
- ip -6 addr del 2001:db8:beef::2/64 dev $INTERFACE
- ip -6 link set $INTERFACE down
+ >cat tinc-down
+ #!/bin/sh
+ ip -6 route del default via 2001:db8:beef::1
+ ip -6 addr del 2001:db8:beef::2/64 dev $INTERFACE
+ ip -6 link set $INTERFACE down
5. You can use [radvd](http://www.litech.org/radvd/) or [Quagga](http://www.quagga.net/) to perform [stateless address autoconfiguration](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2462.txt) on your LAN. This is an example zebra.conf for LAN autoconfiguration (don't forget to enable the zebra daemon):
- ipv6 forwarding
- !
- interface eth1
- no ipv6 nd suppress-ra
- ipv6 address 2001:db8:beef:1::1/64
- ipv6 nd prefix 2001:db8:beef:1::/64
- ipv6 nd ra-interval 10
- !
- interface vpn6
- !
- interface lo
