Enabling IPv6 on NAT server Print

  • 1

Our NAT-only VPS includes a /64 IPv6 subnet, which is disabled by default but can be easily activated using a provided script after a complete system stop.

Since our NAT servers utilize a bridged network setup, the NAT IPv4 NIC cannot simultaneously handle IPv6 traffic. Therefore, additional configuration is required to enable IPv6 support for which we provide a small script to achieve this.

You will need to completely stop your VPS for 10 seconds then start it again for the secondary NIC to be configured in the VM's XML configuration. Once restarted, the second, unconfigured network card will become visible.

After accessing your server, navigate to:

/root/IPv6/

There, you will find a read-me file and an executable script to finalize the IPv6 setup. Running this script will enable IPv6 traffic for your instance. You are also welcome to review the script beforehand—it contains commands to configure both network cards.
