| + | ==== 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. If you like, you can set up DHCPv6 for your network for address assignment. A router advertisement daemon will still be required for routing, but in the future DHCPv6 will offer boot filenames and other boot-related options. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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. These should be able to be copied and pasted into a terminal on your workstation to set up IPv6 connectivity quickly and easily. There are a variety of tutorials on the internet that will cover adding router advertisements and/or DHCPv6 to an IPv6 tunnel. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Booting over IPv6 in gPXE is quite simple: instead of using the 'dhcp' command (ala IPv4), you use the 'ipv6' command. This obtains an address and sets up routing for IPv6 so that you can use IPv6 servers. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can use the following script to test gPXE's HTTP boot over IPv6: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | #!gpxe | ||
| + | ipv6 any | ||
| + | kernel http://flash6.etherboot.org/gpxe/bz2bzImage root=100 | ||
| + | initrd http://flash6.etherboot.org/gpxe/initrd.bz2 | ||
| + | boot | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | (note: flash6 may need these image files uploaded - TODO!) | ||
| + | |||
| + | This should boot a Linux kernel. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you don't have a DNS name for an IPv6 host, you can boot from an IPv6 address using the following syntax: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | http://[2001:ab:cd:ef::1]:1234/file.bin | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Note that [[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa921042.aspx|zero compression ("Compressing Zeroes" section)]] can be used for all IPv6 addresses. | ||
