#rc.hurricane

this is a rc style init script to setup a hurricane electric IPv6 tunnel. while created with slackware in mind, it should work on any linux based system.

#config

configuration is read from rc.hurricane.conf, most of the values are found on the tunnel details page.

• CLIENTIP should be set to your external IPv6 address. the default value in the config uses myip.opendns.com to find this address.
• SERVERIP tunnel endpoint server IPv4 address
• SERVERIPV6 tunnel endpoint server IPv6 address
• CLIENTIPV6 tunnel endpoint client IPv6 address
• NETWORK routed IPv6 network address, without prefix
• PREFIX prefix length, 64 or 48 NETWORK and PREFIX are set from "Routed IPv6 Prefixes". For 2001:db8:dead:beef::/64 the values would look like NETWORK=2001:db8:dead:beef:: and PREFIX=64
• LOCALIPV6 address which should be set to a local device. has to be in the prefix defined in NETWORK. the default is ${NETWORK}1
• DEV is set to the network device which should get the address defined as LOCALIPV6
• TUNNELID tunnel id from tunnel details
• USERNAME your hurricane electric username
• PASSWORD tunnel update key found in the advanced tab of tunnel details.

if these values are set, you can do the follwing things:

• rc.hurricane update update your external ipv4 address
• rc.hurricane start start the tunnel
• rc.hurricane stop stop the tunnel
• rc.hurricane restart stop and start the tunnel
• rc.hurricane radvd print a radvd.conf you can use if you want to advertise the route with radvd.
