Heiko,
Issue  "sysctl -a | grep accept_ra"
If "net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_ra" (assuming eth0) is set to 0, then use
the "sysctl" program to add the following:
"net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_ra = 1" - Stateless autoconfiguration 

Issue  "sysctl -a | grep dad_transmits"
If "net.ipv6.conf.eth0.dad_transmits" (assuming eth0) is set to 0, then
use the "sysctl" program to add the following:
"net.ipv6.conf.eth0.dad_transmits = 3" - Duplicate Address Detection
probes to send.

(sorry for the double post, I am not sure that my first attempt of
sending this message was successful...)

Hi!

I tried to run the IPv6ready test suite for Phase 1 (from TAHI) on a
Usage Kernel 2.6.15 (snapshot 2006/03/27 IIRC). Everything went fine
until it started to go into the Stateless Autoconfiguration section,
where all tests I tried out failed  (well, I stopped after test 4).

It says:

reboot_async.rmt returned status 0
*** Target testing phase ***
Clear Captured Packets (Link0)
TN received no DAD NS sent from NUT. It seems that NUT doesn't perform
DAD process.
Wait 5 second
Check if NUT's address is configured
Send DAD NS from TN to NUT: DADNS_from_TN_SameTgt send
DADNS_from_TN_SameTgt Wait DAD NA from NUT:
DADNA_from_NUT,DADNA_from_NUT_woTLL
recv DADNA_from_NUT
Received packet count=1
Received DAD NA from NUT: DADNA_from_NUT NUT assigned the address to the
interface.
Without DAD, NUT assigned the address to the interface.
NG
*** EOT ***
 -> FAIL


I am pretty sure this is a configuration issue. What kind of
configuration do I have to set up in order to pass these tests?

Thanks in advance,
kind regards,
Heiko
