<title>Configure Compute to use IPv6 addresses</title>
|
|
<para>You can configure Compute to use both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for
|
|
communication by putting it into a IPv4/IPv6 dual stack mode. In IPv4/IPv6
|
|
dual stack mode, instances can acquire their IPv6 global unicast address
|
|
by stateless address autoconfiguration mechanism [RFC 4862/2462].
|
|
IPv4/IPv6 dual stack mode works with <literal>VlanManager</literal> and <literal>FlatDHCPManager</literal>
|
|
networking modes. In <literal>VlanManager</literal>, different 64bit global routing prefix is used for
|
|
each project. In <literal>FlatDHCPManager</literal>, one 64bit global routing prefix is used
|
|
for all instances.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This configuration has been tested with VM images
|
|
that have IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration capability (must use
|
|
EUI-64 address for stateless address autoconfiguration), a requirement for
|
|
any VM you want to run with an IPv6 address. Each node that executes a
|
|
<literal>nova-*</literal> service must have <literal>python-netaddr</literal>
|
|
and <literal>radvd</literal> installed.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>On all nova-nodes, install python-netaddr:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>sudo apt-get install python-netaddr</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>On all <literal>nova-network</literal> nodes install <literal>radvd</literal> and configure IPv6
|
|
networking:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>sudo apt-get install radvd</userinput>
|
|
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>sudo bash -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding"</userinput>
|
|
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>sudo bash -c "echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_ra"</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>Edit the <filename>nova.conf</filename> file on all nodes to
|
|
set the use_ipv6 configuration option to True. Restart all
|
|
nova- services.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When using the command <command>nova network-create</command> you can add a fixed range
|
|
for IPv6 addresses. You must specify public or private after the create parameter.</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>nova network-create public --fixed-range-v4 <replaceable>fixed_range_v4</replaceable> --vlan <replaceable>vlan_id</replaceable> --vpn <replaceable>vpn_start</replaceable> --fixed-range-v6 <replaceable>fixed_range_v6</replaceable></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>You can set IPv6 global routing prefix by using the <literal>--fixed_range_v6</literal>
|
|
parameter. The default is: <literal>fd00::/48</literal>. When you use
|
|
<literal>FlatDHCPManager</literal>, the command uses the original value of
|
|
<literal>--fixed_range_v6</literal>. When you use <literal>VlanManager</literal>, the
|
|
command creates prefixes of subnet by incrementing subnet id. Guest VMs uses this prefix for
|
|
generating their IPv6 global unicast address.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Here is a usage example for <literal>VlanManager</literal>:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>nova network-create public --fixed-range-v4 10.0.1.0/24 --vlan 100 --vpn 1000 --fixed-range-v6 fd00:1::/48</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>Here is a usage example for <literal>FlatDHCPManager</literal>:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>nova network-create public --fixed-range-v4 10.0.2.0/24 --fixed-range-v6 fd00:1::/48</userinput></screen>
