WeIn ~~testing~~2011 we tested ~~with~~ a ~~machine~~computer on our office network (and also on ADSL lines) to see how our services would work just using just native IPv6. We used an ~~apple~~Apple laptop, ~~and~~ disabled IPv4 and enabled IPv6. ~~-we~~We suspect similar results on an ADSL line - we'll test this later on. We want to ensure that all our services work over IPv6. This page has our progress and notes. (it all worked!) Here are some of the results: ==Working:== '''IPv6 Access to Services provided by AAISP''' Pinging www.google.com (ping6)▼ Web page browsing to aa.net.uk (~~firefox~~Firefox) AAISP email services: Web page browsing to google.co.uk (firefox)▼ *Incoming SMTP Web page browsing to revk.www.me.uk (firefox - but some parts are missing, such as top header ) ~~AAISP~~Customer ~~sending~~outbound email (smtp.~~aaisp~~aa.net.uk, with Thunderbird)▼ AAISP Webmail▼ ~~AAISP~~POP3/IMAP servers (customers receiving email) (imap on Apple Mail App)▼ ▲AAISP sending email (smtp.aaisp.net.uk, with Thunderbird) ▲**AAISP Webmail ▲AAISP receiving email (imap on Apple Mail App) AAISP Web servers: Customer web server (www-server.co.uk) AAISP Billing System pages▼ AAISP WIKI▼ Clueless Control Pages▼ http://www.loopsofzen.co.uk (an IPv6 only web site) Status page (status.aa.net.uk) - it's on a different network in Amsterdam and has IPv6 NTP - time.aa.net.uk Customer IRC Server (hosted by a third party) DNS Servers: *Customer resolvers Authoritative nameservers (primary-dns.co.uk / secondary-dns.co.uk VoIP The VoIP platform support IPv6 Some phones support IPv6 too AAISP Ticketing System (email based)▼ FireBrick *FireBrick models all support IPv6 by default '''IPv6 access to other resources on the Internet''' ~~==Not working:==~~ ▲*Pinging www.google.com (ping6) AAISP receiving email (imap on Thunderbird) - gave refused, need more logging on the mail server (Mail App worked) *Web sites AAISP VoIP - Phone server does not yet support IPv6 *Web page browsing to thinkbroadband.com (not forums though, as they are not yet IPv6 enabled (March 2011)) ▲Web page browsing to google.co.uk ~~(firefox)~~ Web page browsing to revk.www.me.uk Gmail (using Thunderbird) There will be lots of other places... =2014-06-06= Any IPv4 access! On 6 June 2014 there was a campaign to turn off IPv4 for the day! see: Status page - no IPv6 on this server yet, it's on a different network in Amsterdam. IPv6 is planned though. (at least before June 8th 2011) [https://secure.avaaz.org/en/petition/IT_professionals_worldwide_Turn_off_the_Legacy_IP_Protocol_IPv4_for_the_day_of_06th_June_2014 secure.avaaz.org] ==~~Still~~How to ~~Test~~do IPv6 Only== Some notes: ▲Clueless Control Pages Sometimes it's easier just to turn IPv4 off on the computer ▲AAISP Billing System pages You will lose access to some sites if they don't have IPv6 ▲AAISP WIKI ▲AAISP Ticketing System (email based) [[File:IPv6Only-Apple.png\|400px]] ===Tested IPv6 only configurations=== A&A BT FTTC - Openreach Modem - FireBrick 2700 - Apple Computer ===IPv6 NAT64 gateway === AAISP provide an IPv6 to IPv4 gateway, which allows one to connect to the IPv4 world from an IPv6-only machine. To use this, simply change the DNS server addresses to 2001:8b0:6464::1 and 2001:8b0:6464::2 Note that the IPv6 router advertisements from your router may still broadcast the normal DNS server addresses. ===How to test=== We have 2 IP test web pages: https://ip4.help.me.uk https://ip6.help.me.uk Each will return your corresponding IP address. If you get bored looking for IPv6 websites, there is always https://loopsofzen.co.uk to keep you occupied. [[Category:IPv6]]
