Solving IPv6 problem in SolusVM

Today I’m having problem with my SolusVM installation in my dedicated sever. The OpenVZ VPS created from SolusVM can’t connect to the internet, not connected from the internet, also can’t ping to the IPv6 gateway.
Dedicated Server have routed 2 x /64 IPv6 address, and installed using CentOS 6 64bit.
So, let’s make some fix here 🙂
 
Add the below to the file /etc/sysconfig/network of the Host Node

# nano /etc/sysconfig/network
...
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
IPV6FORWARDING=yes
IPV6_DEFAULTDEV=eth0
IPV6_DEFAULTGW=2a02:7900:1:2000::1
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no

Add the below to the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX . X being your interface number

IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6ADDR=2a02:7900:1:2002:4
IPV6_DEFAULTGW=2a02:7900:1:2000::1
IPV6_DEFAULTDEV=eth0

Add the following to the content of /etc/sysctl.conf

net.ipv6.conf.default.forwarding = 1
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1
net.ipv6.conf.all.proxy_ndp = 1

 
Example for how to write the IPv6 Gateway
ipv6_block
 
Example for generating the IPv6
generate_ipv6
 
Next, you only need to assign the IPv6 to your OpenVZ VPS
