[smokeping-users] Fw: IPv6 usage (was: IPv6 only usage)

[Christian Hahn]

Hi,

still having trouble with IPv6. Solved, the problem with the warning
messages by installing Socket6. Thought I had done this before, but it was
not the case.
No more warning messages when I'm start smokeping, but IPv6 is not working, still
100% loss for all defined targets. 
- I tried with DNS names and IPv6 addresses. 
- I checked fping6 manually with my targets, it works without problems.
- Logfile gives no error messages:

Jul  7 13:06:51 www-server smokeping[9470]: Launched successfully 
Jul  7 13:06:51 www-server smokeping[9470]: FPing6: probing 14 targets 
Jul  7 13:06:51 www-server smokeping[9470]: FPing: probing 1 targets 
Jul  7 13:06:51 www-server smokeping[9470]: DNS: probing 4 targets 

- I checked with tcpdump, but no ICMPv6 packets leaving the host to the 
  specified targets.

Has anyone got smokeping successfully running with IPv6 targets? Any ideas
welcome.

One more question: What in detail is the meaning of the 'probe' statements in
Level1 in the config file? Does it mean a default probe for all targets
without a 'probe' statement or is it used for the following targets until the
next probe statement is made?

regards,
Christian

Hi,

I'm again. I looked at mail archive and read the discussion on the broken
DNS.pm. Looks like this is related to IPv6 too. If I define an IPv6 only host
name I get 100% loss for this host. Does anybody else saw this behaviour?

My smokeping is fresh installed, so my experience is not so good by now.
Hope it will increase over time ;)

cheers,
Christian

Hi,

I want to use smokeping for IPv6 only. Every time it comes up or reloades it
presents error messages :

"WARNING: Hostname 'IPv6-only.host' does currently not resolve to an IP
address"

This slows down the start of the tools and also sometimes the execution of
the CGI script.
Is there a way to avoid this messages or to avoid the checks smokeping does?

thanks and cheers
Christian
