IPv6-ready client program (contoh)

Untuk menjalankan test ini, kita membutuhkan sistem yang siap dengan IPv6.

Cek DNS untuk me-resolve address IPv6

Karena security update beberapa tahun belakangan ini, seharusnya semua DNS server menjalankan software terbaru yang harusnya mengerti tentang address IPv6 tipe AAAA.

Test sederhana tampak berikut ini,

# host -t AAAA ipv6.google.com

dan harusnya akan tampak sebagai berikut:

ipv6.google.com is an alias for ipv6.l.google.com.
ipv6.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2404:6800:4003:800::1011

Telnet client yang siap IPv6

Telnet client harusnya siap IPv6, test sederhana dapat digunakan menggunakan perintah misalnya,

$ telnet ipv6.google.com 80

Trying 2404:6800:4003:803::1013...
Connected to ipv6.l.google.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

masukan

HEAD / HTTP/1.0

hasilnya

Jika telnet client tidak mengerti IPv6 maka akan keluar error seperti “cannot resolve hostname”, maka kemungkinan besar telnet client tersebut tidak mengenal IPv6.

Client SSH siap dengan OPv6

openssh

Versi terakhir openssh sudah siap dengan IPv6. Tergantung konfigurasi saat compile, openssh client mempunyai dua kemungkina perilaku,

• --without-ipv4-default: client berusaha untuk menyambungkan ke IPv6 terlebih dulu, jika gagal baru ke IPv4.
• --with-ipv4-default: sambungan default adalah IPv4, sambungan IPv6 harus di paksa menggunakan perintah berikut,

$ ssh -6 ::1 

user@::1's password: ****** 
[user@ipv6host user]$

Jika ssh client yang kita gunakan tidak mengenal opsi "-6" maka kemungkinan besar dia tidak mampu mengenal IPv6, seperti kebanyakan paket ssh versi 1.

4.5.3.2. ssh.com

SSH.com's SSH client and server is also IPv6 aware now and is free for all Linux and FreeBSD machine regardless if used for personal or commercial use. 4.5.4. IPv6-ready web browsers

A current status of IPv6 enabled web browsers is available at IPv6+Linux-status-apps.html#HTTP.

Most of them have unresolved problems at the moment

   If using an IPv4 only proxy in the settings, IPv6 requests will be sent to the proxy, but the proxy will fail to understand the request and the request fails. Solution: update proxy software (see later).

   Automatic proxy settings (*.pac) cannot be extended to handle IPv6 requests differently (e.g. don't use proxy) because of their nature (written in Java-script and well hard coded in source like to be seen in Maxilla source code).

Also older versions don't understand an URL with IPv6 encoded addresses like http://[2001:a60:9002:1::186:6]/ (this given URL only works with an IPv6-enabled browser!).

A short test is to try shown URL with a given browser and using no proxy.

4.5.4.1. URLs for testing

A good starting point for browsing using IPv6 is http://www.kame.net/. If the turtle on this page is animated, the connection is via IPv6, otherwise the turtle is static.
