Configuring IoT FND for IPv6 Tunnel Provisioning and Registration

IoT FND OVA supports only IPv4 tunnels and Registration out of the box.

To setup an IPv6 network for tunnel provisioning and registration, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1

Ensure you have one interface with a valid IPv6 network which has a IPv6 prefix length less than125.

See the following example of the ens224 interface:

[root@iot-fnd ~]# ifconfig ens224
ens224: flags=4163[UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST] mtu 1500
inet 2.2.56.117 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 2.2.255.255
inet6 fe80::54f0:5d24:d320:8e38 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20[ink]
inet6 2001:420:7bf:5f::1522 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x0[global]
ether 00:0c:29:18:1b:3a txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 97618 bytes 12391774 (11.8 MiB)
RX errors 1001 dropped 1011 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 3004 bytes 568097 (554.7 KiB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
[root@iot-fnd ~]#

Step 2

Run the ./setup-IPv6-network.sh script in the /opt/fnd/scripts directory to obtain the FND IPv6 address on the router for tunnel provisioning and registration.

Note: While specifying the IPv6 address for the network-mgmt-bridge, provide an Interface Name and a valid IPv6 address (and IP address prefix length) that is in the subnet of the provided host interface. If IPv6 address is in a different subnet, the IPv6 tunnel provisioning and registration will not be successful.
