IPv6

I have setup DNS64+NAT64 on a machine with 2 interfaces:

eth0: public IPv4 address (connected to outside world)

eth1: global scope IPv6 address: 2001::/64

I can successfully use ping6 google.com on this machine.

Now I want to connect my MacBook to this machine by making it an IPv6-only client and perform some tests, but I do not have an IPv6 address assigned on this MacBook. I'm wondering, how should I manually assign one so as to route all my IPv6 traffic (I will disable IPv4 on my MacBook) to this machine, which will be picked up by DNS64+NAT64 to be converted to IPv4 requests and sent to the outside world?

IPv6 is extremely important for the long-term health of the Internet. But is your Internet service provider providing IPv6 connectivity yet? Does your home network support it? Should you even care if you’re using IPv6 yet? Switching from IPv4 to IPv6 will give the Internet a much larger pool… >>> More

When the server has the network interfaces idle with no traffic for about 10 minutes, then… >>> More
