Simple tutorial on installing and configuring IPv6

With the commercialization of IPv6, many home users have begun to use IPv6. However, the inherent existence of IPv4 makes many friends unfamiliar with the installation and configuration of IPv6, it is unclear about IPv6 installation and configuration for some Linux users. Now let's talk about how to install and configure IPv6 for this system.

In Linux, vsftpd is generally used to provide the FTP service. Ubuntu is used as an example to describe how to install and configure IPv6.

1. Install vsftpd.

 
 

  
  
sudo apt-get install vsftpd 
 
 

2. Configure vsftpd. conf to support IPv6.

 
 

  
  
vim /etc/vsftpd.conf 
 
 

In the installation and configuration of IPv6, comment out listen = YES with #, and cancel the comment on listen_ipv6 = YES, that is

 
 

  
  
#listen=YES 
  
  
listen_ipv6=YES 
 
 

3. Restart vsftpd.

 
 

  
  
sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart 
 
 

Internet Protocol Version 6

Definition: version 6.0 of the IP protocol, also known as the next-generation Internet Protocol

Note: IPv6 is a new IP protocol used to replace the current IPv4 protocol in the development and design of Internet Engineering Task Group IETF. IPv6 and IPv4 work roughly the same way. The purpose of development is to relieve the pressure on IPv4 address space. In addition, it also makes up for some IPv4 protocol problems, including end-to-end IP connection, QoS), security, scalability, and plug-and-play.

Application:

1. The installation IPv6-IPv6 uses a 128-bit address, theoretically providing a 128-power address of 2. To install IPv6 in Windows XP, you can choose "Start> Run", enter "cmd" and press enter to open the "command prompt" window, and then type: ipv6 install, press enter to install IPv6.

2. configure IPv6-also in the "command prompt" window, type: ipv6 if, press enter to obtain the interface index, and add the Receiving address through this interface; Type: ipv6 adu [InterfaceIndex]/[Address], where InterfaceIndex indicates the interface number of the interface, and Address indicates the IPv6 Address. In addition, you can also use the ping6 command to test IPv6 Configuration and connection. For specific command usage, you can add /? See related help files.

In this way, the system installation and configuration of IPv6 are all over.
