I've configure trex_cfg.yaml as so
test@trex02:~/trex-core/scripts$ cat /etc/trex_cfg.yaml
- port_limit : 2
version : 2
#List of interfaces. Change to suit your setup. Use ./dpdk_setup_ports.py -s to see available options
interfaces : ["0b:00.0","0b:00.1"]
stack: linux_based
In trex-console I ran commands
vlan -p 0 --vlan 11
vlan -p 1 --vlan 12
ipv6 -p 0 -s 2001:DB8:11:2222::2
ipv6 -p 1 -s 2001:DB8:12:2222::2
scan6
trex>scan6

Port 0 - IPv6 search result:

----------+---------------------+----------------------
Router | e8:c5:7a:03:75:47 | 2001:db8:12:2222::1

yet when trex sending a ping it sends it with wrong destination MAC address
trex>ping -p 0 -d 2001:DB8:11:2222::1 --vlan 11 -n 10
Pinging 2001:DB8:11:2222::1 from port 0 over VLAN '11' with 64 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

thank you for replying.
it is confusing cause in IPv4 it's not how things work
trex is a great project!
as you can see here
trex>scan6

So I understand I need to configure the destination MAC address manually?
I did so and it looks good,
but is there a way to configure all needed addresses on trex_cfg.yaml? just like in IPv4
my original question was, can someone please share his/her file?
10x again
have a gr8 weekend

Our files are different, it very much differs from setup to setup. I unfortunately don't have an IPv6 setup.
Have you looked at this? https://trex-tgn.cisco.com/trex/doc/trex_manual.html#_emulation_stacks

any update?
I found a procedure that worked for me
### trex console commands:
vlan -p 0 --vlan 11
vlan -p 1 --vlan 12
service
l2 -p 0 --dst e8:c5:7a:03:75:47
l2 -p 1 --dst e8:c5:7a:03:75:47
service --off
ipv6 -p 0 -s 2001:DB8:11:2222::2
ipv6 -p 1 -s 2001:DB8:12:2222::2
###
Been wondering if there is a better way to do it?
