I guess that's not going to apply to very many people. Is there an easy way I can set up IPv6 and a handful of machines on my LAN for testing, without requiring any IPv6 internet connection or an IPv6 assigned prefix? The Linux machines on my LAN appear to have acquired IPv6 addresses, eg: $ ip addr show eth0 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN qlen 1000 link/ether 00:e0:81:74:02:28 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.0.128/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global eth0 inet6 fe80::2e0:81ff:fe74:228/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever but pinging them gives me strange errors: $ ping6 fe80::2e0:81ff:fe74:228/64 unknown host $ ping6 fe80::2e0:81ff:fe74:228 connect: Invalid argument $ ping6 fe80::2e0:81ff:fe74 connect: Invalid argument (Note I have no idea at all what I'm doing here so it's probably some elementary error).
