IPv6 is not supported with current stack

[Prasad]

Hi,

In an attempt to do neighbor v6 pings, I loaded the ipv6 plugin.

But, when I tried to configure an IPv6 address to the port, it errored out:

trex(service)>plugins load IPv6ND

Loading plugin: IPv6ND                                       [SUCCESS]

trex(service)>plugins show

trex(service)>ipv6 -p 0 -s 100:1:1:0::100

Configuring IPv6 on port 0                                   [FAILED]

ipv6 - Port 0 : *** Could not configure IPv6: IPv6 is not supported with current stack

---

Also, in usage, it shows 'port' instead of 'ipv6': looks like a UI typo.

trex(service)>ipv6 -h

usage: port [-h] -p PORT (--off | --auto | -s SRC_IPV6)

Configures IPv6 of a port

optional arguments:

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  -p PORT, --port PORT  source port for the action

  --off                 Disable IPv6 on port.

  --auto                Enable IPv6 on port with automatic address.

  -s SRC_IPV6, --src SRC_IPV6

                        Enable IPv6 on port with specific address.

Hi,

Did anyone get a chance to look at this error?

Why IPv6 not supported? Do I need to do anything extra to get dual stack support?

Regards,

Hi, please try to modify your trex_cfg.yaml

- port_limit: 2

  version: 2

  interfaces: ['0b:00.0', '0c:00.0']

  stack: linux_based

As far as I know, this feature is super new and it was not documented yet.

Hi,

You do not need to configure ipv6 on port to use IPv6ND plugin.
