SixXS support for the Fritz!Box

I recently tested the 6to4 IPv6 support in the latest AVM Firmware for Fritz!Box Fon WLAN 7270. Now I tried to setup a tunnel to SixXS which failed during my first tests. The Fritz Box didn’t complain about the fact that my SixXS tunnel didn’t have any subnet allocated. Once a subnet was added to my tunnel, the Fritz!Box was able to setup the tunnel. I had my tunnel set to “6in4-heartbeat”, I haven’t tested “AYIYA”. I also found another IPv6 enabled website: ripe.net, quite obvious at second view 😀

Thomson ST 585 bridging in routing mode

EPT uses the Thomson ST 585 as ADSL Modem for their IPTV offer. EPT loads a special configuration onto the Thomson, which splits the 4 port Ethernet switch into 2 partitions. Ports 3&4 are bridged to an extra ATM path and channel (VCI/VPI) which gives access to the IPTV platform and network. Ports 1&2 give access to the Internet, by default the Thomson connects via PPPoE to the Internet. Continue Reading →
