Getting IPv6 up and running

Install the miredo package:
$ sudo apt-get install miredo

After this command, you should see an IPv6 address beginning with “2001:0:” in your network settings (use ‘ifconfig’). If so, you’re connected to the IPv6 world.

Remove miredo system startup links:
$ sudo update-rc.d -f miredo remove

Usage:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/miredo {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload}

If miredo is running you should have another interface called “teredo”.
You can display it with the following command:

$ ifconfig teredo
