Proxmox 3.4-6 IPV6 Networking - Kernel issues


Only if you couldn't get IPv6 connectivity with your Proxmox host as related in prior post (Can be review here), some kernel fixes have to be applied.

1.- Check you kernel version

My server is using 2.6.32-39:
root@server:~# uname -a 
Linux server 2.6.32-39-pve #1 SMP Fri May 8 11:27:35 CEST 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux

2.- Check Proxmox kernel version
root@server:~# pveversion -v
proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 3.4-156 (running kernel: 2.6.32-39-pve) 
pve-manager: 3.4-6 (running version: 3.4-6/102d4547) 
pve-kernel-2.6.32-39-pve: 2.6.32-156 


3.-  Verify kernel patchs officially published on: Patchs

You shoud install kernel patch to reach at least "pve-kernel-2.6.32 (2.6.32-149)"
that includes an IPv6 neighborhood detection fix correcting IPv6 operation:


* IPv6: forwaring ICMP6 neighbor solicitation on bridge

3.-  If your installed kernel is older than pve-kernel-2.6.32 (2.6.32-149), you have to apply patch.



In most of the cases apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade do the job, else try this: (example only)



root@server:~# wget http://download.proxmox.com/debian/dists/wheezy/pvetest/binary-amd64/pve-kernel-2.6.32-39-pve_2.6.32-149_amd64.deb



Install



root@server:~# dpkg -i pve-kernel-2.6.32-39-pve_2.6.32-157_amd64.deb
