IPv6 (protocol 41 pass through) with Pix 525

Aug 10, 2008 0 Replies

This is on a Pix 525 with v7.2(1) software



I am trying to configure a single host (linux) behind the firewall. I created a tunnel from tunnelbroker.net. I get the settings for "linux- net-tools" but when I run those commands I'm unable to ping the other end of the ipv6 tunnel. I was able to get this all setup on my local network though, just not on the server that's behind the pix. so a couple questions



Does v7.2 support protocol 41 for IPv6 encapsulated IPv4 pass through? Is my only option to setup another interface in the pix with the specified ipv6 tunnel info?



Here is the information on how to setup things up in the pix. I havent' actually run these yet as I mainly wanted to test this on a single machine without playing around with the firewall



configure terminal interface tunnel0 description Hurricane Electric IPv6 Tunnel Broker no ip address ipv6 enable ipv6 address 2001:xx:xx:xx::2/64 tunnel source 66.xx.xx.215 tunnel destination 216.xx.xx.2 tunnel mode ipv6ip ipv6 route ::/0 tunnel0 end write


66.xx.xx.215 is the linux server I am trying to get IPv6 connectivity too, 216.xx.xx.2 is the tunnel broker's ip. The ip of the interface on the pix is 66.xx.xx.1 if I should change the source address to that
