IPv6

Postby jcassee » Thu Jul 12, 2007 4:03 pm

Is there any chance of the Synology products (well, the DS107e in particular :) ) supporting IPv6? It would be enough for the kernel just to include the ipv6 module.

Greetings jcassee-

Our systems currently do not support IPv6, however we will support it when it is more common place.

Time for IPV6 is arrived...

New user of your product. I'm also a user of Free.fr service in France. I have the pleasure to give you the official information where Free.fr offers the IPV6 for all of user that want.

The only product in my house that doesn't support IPV6 is my Synology DS107, its a shame in end of 2007. No ;-) but every day since today is bad for me becaue your product is the NAS used by all other servers that I use at home (4 at this time).

Please help us to support IP V6. I f you need beta tester, you can call me.

Best regards.

+1.

For sure, IPV6 would make easier to access the NAS from outside the LAN.

I also use Free as provider...

My Internet Access Provider is also Free and it will be really great if Synology products support IPv6.

So, please, add IPv6 support to the next firmware :!: For information, I am a DS-106J owner.

I can accept that you do not provide it right now, but waiting before this new technology is more common place is not a good attitude for a topclass vendor! Specifically not in this case where the specification is mature, and the problem of running out of address space globally is eminent.

IPv6 is not something I really care right now but indeed I would like to have it implemented BEFORE it becomes really common :)
Especially given the fact that first implementations probably will be buggy and there are not too much equipment to test with I would say "start working on it now but take your time" :)

I am also with free.fr and my CS 407 is the only one not IPV6 compliant in my network.
Thanks for your support.

I recently bought a cs107+ and ran into some inconveniance due to missing IPv6 support.
The quote of Franklin suggest IPv6 will be added when it is more commonplace - as we're halfway 2008 and IP4 addresses will run out within the next 18-24 months I guess this would be not a moment too soon. Especially since the product I bought is marketed as an web-enabled product. Is there any word when progress on this issue can be expected?

Btw, thumbs-up for the product, I really like it: most importantly the modability/customization possibilities with the absolutely great community-support: you guys should cherish (and flourish) that.

Is there anybody who has recompiled the kernel with ipv6 module enable and is happy to share with us his ipv6.ko?

I noticed that the ipkg source http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/syno-x07/cross/unstable listed a AICCU version, which is part of a setup for a IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnel, using an infrastructure created by SixXS.net. At first I wondered whether this could be used to access IPv6-only services with the ds107+, but unfortunately this obviously still needs IPv6 support on the Synology box.
FYI, AICCU can be run, but immediately halts with a "No IPv6 Stack found!" error (= no IPv6 support). No dice.

What does seem peculiar is that AICCU is even available at all, as it can only be used if the platform running it has IPv6 support in the kernel. Do people _really_ recompile the kernel of their Synology box? Why do power-user like that even have a user-friendly + shiny NAS instead? I mean, I do not even know what a "ipv6.ko" is (yes, looking at you, mr. mz6gUP) 8)

Anyway, IPv6 still has a long way to go...

ipv6.ko is the Linux kernel module for IPv6.

With millions of people using IPv6, as yet invisible to the people stuck on IPv4. And major IPv6 based infrastructure being rolled out around the globe. I'd call it commonplace now. When are we going to see a timeline on support?

i too would value ipv6 and will quite possibly delay purchase until it arrives.
it may even force me to look elsewhere if it takes too long.

i know this changes nothing but i'm sure i'm not alone in this..
