Unfortunately it's a little bit clumsy +now to set the [[translator]] up, since it has to be bound to +*/servers/socket/2* (like before) as well as */servers/socket/26* (for IPv6). + +To achieve this, you can tell pfinet to install [[active_translators|active]] +on specified nodes, using **-4** and **-6** options. This is, you have to +install a [[passive_translator|passive]] on */servers/socket/2* that also binds +the IPv6 port and vice versa. + + +# Examples + +Normal IPv4 network setup, address 192.168.7.23/24 and gateway 192.168.7.1. +IPv6 address shall be assigned using IPv6 auto-configuration. + + settrans -fgp /servers/socket/2 ↩ + /hurd/pfinet -6 /servers/socket/26 ↩ + -i eth0 -a 192.168.7.23 -m 255.255.255.0 -g 192.168.7.1 + settrans -fgp /servers/socket/26 ↩ + /hurd/pfinet -4 /servers/socket/2 ↩ + -i eth0 -a 192.168.7.23 -m 255.255.255.0 -g 192.168.7.1 + +Quite the same, but with static IPv6 address assignment: + + settrans -fgp /servers/socket/2 ↩ + /hurd/pfinet -6 /servers/socket/26 ↩ + -i eth0 -a 192.168.7.23 -m 255.255.255.0 -g 192.168.7.1 ↩ + -A 2001:4b88:10e4:0:216:3eff:feff:4223/64 -G 2001:4b88:10e4::1 + settrans -fgp /servers/socket/26 ↩ + /hurd/pfinet -4 /servers/socket/2 ↩ + -i eth0 -a 192.168.7.23 -m 255.255.255.0 -g 192.168.7.1 ↩ + -A 2001:4b88:10e4:0:216:3eff:feff:4223/64 -G 2001:4b88:10e4::1 + + +# Binaries + +For your convenience -- this work is not yet available in the Debian packages +-- binaries of a patched (multicast reception) GNU Mach kernel (including +default driver set and debugging support) and a stripped pfinet translator +(named `pfinet6` here) are being provided at +<http://brokenpipe.de/GnuHurd/pfinet6/> |
