 +==== Setting up IPv6 on your network ====
 +
 +To work with IPv6 in gPXE on your network, you will need both an IPv6 prefix and a router advertisement daemon. DHCPv6 support is coming soon!
 +
 +The best place to get an IPv6 is your ISP, but if your ISP does not offer IPv6, [[http://​www.tunnelbroker.net|Hurricane Electric]] offers a fairly stable and easy-to-use tunnel. HE also provides configuration commands for a wide range of operating systems.
 +
 +Once your network is IPv6-enabled,​ you will need a router advertisement daemon to advertise the prefix you have been assigned. These router advertisements allow hosts to autoconfigure themselves where a  DHCPv6 server is not present.
 +
 +Note that currently IPv6 in gPXE will not work properly on IPv6 networks with DHCPv6 servers.
 +
 +You can use the following script to test gPXE's HTTP boot over IPv6:
 +<​code>​
 +#!gpxe
 +ipv6 any
 +kernel http://​ipv6.theiselins.net/​gpxe/​bz2bzImage root=100
 +initrd http://​ipv6.theiselins.net/​gpxe/​initrd.bz2
 +boot
 +</​code>​
 +
 +This should boot a Linux kernel.
