We are testing with a machine on our office network (and also on ADSL lines) 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. ==Working:== '''IPv6 Access to Services provided by AAISP''' Web page browsing to aa.net.uk (~~firefox~~Firefox) AAISP email services: Incoming SMTP 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 VoIP Servers (On the current 'Voicelesss' platform) The VoIP platform support IPv6 Some phones support IPv6 too AAISP Ticketing System (email based) FireBrick *FireBrick 2500, 2700 and 6000 all support IPv6 by default '''IPv6 access to other resources on the Internet''' General Internet Access Pinging www.google.com (ping6) Web sites Web page browsing to thinkbroadband.com (not forums though, as they are not yet IPv6 enabled (March 2011)) Web page browsing to ~~google~~thinkbroadband.~~co.uk~~com (not forums though, as they are not yet IPv6 enabled (March 2011)) Web page browsing to ~~revk~~google.~~www.me~~co.uk Web page browsing to revk.www.me.uk Gmail (using Thunderbird) There will be lots of other places... ==Not Working (yet):== AAISP Ideas site (this is run by a third party though we have [[http://useridea.rc.idea.informer.com/proj/?ia=14141 requested it ~~though]~~])▼ AAISP receiving email (imap on Thunderbird when tested in 2012) - gave refused, need more logging on the mail server (Mail App worked) =2014-06-06=▼ On ~~6th~~6 June 2014 there iswas a campaign to turn off IPv4 for the day! see:▼ [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: ▲AAISP Ideas site (this is run by a third party though we have [[http://useridea.rc.idea.informer.com/proj/?ia=14141 requested it though]]) Sometimes it's easier just to turn IPv4 off on the computer All above on an ADSL line You will lose access to some sites if they don't have IPv6 [[File:IPv6Only-Apple.png\|400px]] ▲=2014-06-06= ▲On 6th June 2014 there is a campaign to turn off IPv4 for the day! see: ===Tested IPv6 only configurations=== ▲[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] 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: http://ip4.help.me.uk http://ip6.help.me.uk Each will return your corresponding IP address. If you get bored looking for IPv6 websites, there is always http://loopsofzen.co.uk to keep you occupied. [[Category:IPv6]]
