I'm looking for some assistance on deploying IPv6. I'm currently using FreeRADIUS Version 1.1.6. I have for testing a Cisco 3640 running C3640-IK9S-M. The cisco has properly routable IPv6 addresses on its Ethernet and Loopback.
Version 1.1.6 doesn't support IPv6.
I think that I'd like to have a pool of IPv6 addresses on the cisco and to be able to provide clients with a /64 block (might look at a /60 or /56 one day). To do this in IPv4 - I send 255.255.255.254 to the NAS/Cisco. So whats the IPv6 equivalent?
I don't think there is one. See the Cisco documentation for more. Address allocation in IPv6 is very different from IPv4.
I expect to stay with FreeRADIUS Version 1.1.6 for now and understand that packets between the NAS and Radius will be via IPv4. Thats fine - though one day I think I expect to see FreeRadius listening on both IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time.
Version 2.0 will support IPv6.
What magic lines would I need to add to my Cisco and what magic to add to FreeRadius? Anyone have Dialup clients being issued IPv6 addresses yet?
1 - I expect to add some sort of IPv6 field to MySQL (ie - for a static IPv6 address or to signify the NAS to use a Dynamic address) 2 - I expect the "authorize_check_query" and other SQL queries to change a bit... ie return IPv6 data - without breaking IPv4 only NAS's 3 - I expect to add an IPv6 pool and other lines of magic to my Cisco.
There's Framed-IPv6-prefix, where you can assign Ip's to a client. Alan DeKok.
