Hi, It's like this: A eth0 ====== eth3 B eth1 eth0: 192.168.0.2/24 2020::2/128 eth3 192.168.0.254/24 2020::254/128 eth1 192.168.30.254 3030::254/128 I'm trying to ping B's eth1 address from A, but it only works in IPv4, in IPv6 it does not work, unless i put a route via eth3's address. regards Filipe Alexander Samad wrote: Hi Sorry having a bit of a problem reading your diagram but is the destination on the wire or is routed via box B have you tried a tcpdump on B to see what it sees ?

Is there any feature i need to turn on or anything misconfigured? Why does it work for IPv4 but not for IPv6?
