IPv6 support Pi2 Image

[fohnbit]

Hello,

it seems IPv6 ist not active on the Eth0?
I try to ping FE80::BA27:EBFF:FEF6:6C9C ... but I get:

Code: Select all

[root@runeaudio ~]# ping6 fe80::BA27:EBFF:FEF6:6C9C
socket: Address family not supported by protocol


How can I enable IPv6 and is this also in the GUI supportet?

Thank you!

Hi fohnbit,

please can you explain the reason why you need ipv6 enabled.

Because our control unit of the house work when possible on IPv6.

The benefit is, that you don´t "need" a IP Adress ... we connect link local ... and so neither the control unit or the RuneAudio Player has to setup in detail any Ip configuration.

it´s more easy and each hardware has with link local his own unique IPv6 address.

I print the IPv6 as QR Code on the housing and with the smartphone you can scan and must not type

Hi fohnbit,
We use avahi service for that purpose.
In our current stack, the ipv6 is disabled at kernel level to free memory resources.
