You will do some basic configuration on the tun
interface on computer B.
Use the netsh
command to set the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of your tun
interface.
netsh interface ipv4 add address name=OpenWSN address=10.2.0.1 mask=255.255.0.0 netsh interface ipv6 add address interface=OpenWSN address=bbbb::1/64
Enable forwarding on both the Ethernet and tun
interfaces of the Windows Vista computer, so your computer routes ping commands back-and-forth between them.
# for IPv4 netsh interface ipv4 set interface interface=IEEE802.3 forwarding=enabled netsh interface ipv4 set interface interface=OpenWSN forwarding=enabled # for IPv6 netsh interface ipv6 set interface interface=IEEE802.3 forwarding=enabled netsh interface ipv6 set interface interface=OpenWSN forwarding=enabled
You can not ping your tun
interface since no application is attached yet. You'll see in your network connection window that it appears as "disconnected".
The tap-windows
driver knows about IPv6, and since it is used to abstract away a complete prefix, it can spoof IPv6 neighbor solicitations if you configure the next hop to fe80::8
.
This configuration is important. Without it, the ping response script will not work.
Enter the following commands to remove the default route (if any), and install a new one, with next hop fe80::8
.
netsh interface ipv6 delete route bbbb::/64 OpenWSN netsh interface ipv6 add route bbbb::/64 OpenWSN fe80::8
Finally, configure routing on computer A:
# add IPv4 route to 10.2.0.0/255.255.0.0 network route ADD 10.2.0.0 MASK 255.255.0.0 10.1.0.2 # add IPv6 route to bbbb::/64 network netsh interface ipv6 add route bbbb::/64 "IEEE802.3" aaaa::2
