Are there any extra steps required to enable IPv6 in WICED? I am new to IPv6 so I do not really know where to begin in order to test IPv6 functions.
When my app starts up, either in FreeRTOS+lwIP or ThreadX+Netx_duo, i see the message
IPv6 network ready IP: FE80:0000:0000:0000:BAD7:AFFF:FE28:B672 (or FE80::BAD7:AFFF:FE28:B672 in the lwip build)
Should I be able to ping this address from a Windows PC on the same LAN? Ping returns Destination host unreachable. The PC is able to ping the module's IPv4 address.
Do I need to run a DHCPv6 server on my LAN to provide an address? It does not look like my Netgear has a built in DHCPv6, are there any PC based servers?
I am running WICED 6.1 with a CYW43907.
Solved! Go to Solution.

As long as you are communicating within the same subnet, no IP prefix is required.
But when you need a global IP address, then the subnet should be distributed to the nodes to enable routing.

With two PC's on the wireless network, I can ping between the two computers using the IPv6 local address and a assigned address from a DHCP server (dibbler)
The CYW43907 does not appear to pull an IPv6 address from the DHCP server not does it respond to a ping attempt.
I built the console application in WICED and attempted to run iperf in IPv6 mode between the wi-fi module and a laptop and I was unable to make a connection.
** These tests are with the ThreadX / NetX-Duo options.

Hi Nick:
Actually I did a test based on 6.1 sdk release, and I used APSTA application for the test.
add the results here, it should prove ipv6 can work well in the release . but my environment is
Win7 wifi pinging wiced softAP, and make the iphelper service working before the connection.

I tried apsta with FreeRTOS & lwIP = not able to ping with destination host unreachable error.
I tried apsta with ThreadX & NetX Duo = able to ping
Why can I not use lwIP? IPv6 is supported. My application has to use FreeRTOS + lwIP and support IPv6 going forward.
iphelper is enabled, windows 10
By the way, will this only work with a host using iphelper?
