I want my Windows boxes to:
- Use 'privacy' addresses for outgoing connections
- Have a EUI64 address to listen for incoming connections
- Not use any legacy tunneling protocols
This can be enabled permanently using the following batch script:
This is what I use for our Windows 7 computers to configure IPv6:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
REM enables RFC EUI-644941 interfaceprivacy identifiersextensions (IPv6i.e. temporary address basedfor onoutgoing MAC)connections) netsh interface ipv6 set privacy state=enabled store=active netsh interface ipv6 set privacy state=enabled store=persistent REM Don't use random identifier. This will result in EUI64 based adddresses netsh interface ipv6 set global randomizeidentifiers=disabled store=active netsh interface ipv6 set global randomizeidentifiers=disabled store=persistent REM disable allunused tunneling stuffprotocols netsh interface ipv6 6to4 set state disabled netsh interface ipv6 isatap set state disabled netsh interface ipv6 set teredo disabled |
| Note |

The order of the two first blocks seems to matter. If you put the |
Remove address
For servers it makes sense to have statically configured addresses, and avoid dynamic/privacy stuff as much as possible.
However, you might have started out with privacy stuff on, and have to remove things:

To remove the EUI-64 address 2001:610:148:babe:20c:29ff:fedb:af95, first find the interface number:
| Code Block |
|---|
C:\Users\Administrator>netsh interface ipv6 show addresses
Interface 1: Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1
Addr Type DAD State Valid Life Pref. Life Address
--------- ----------- ---------- ---------- ------------------------
Other Preferred infinite infinite ::1
Interface 10: Local Area Connection
Addr Type DAD State Valid Life Pref. Life Address
--------- ----------- ---------- ---------- ------------------------
Public Preferred 29d23h57m39s 6d23h57m39s 2001:610:148:babe:20c:29ff:fedb:af95
Manual Preferred infinite infinite 2001:610:148:babe:cafe::3
Other Preferred infinite infinite fe80::20c:29ff:fedb:af95%10 |
The trick is to disable autoconfiguration on that interface:
| Code Block |
|---|
C:\Users\Administrator>netsh interface ipv6 set interface 10 routerdiscovery=disabled
Ok. |
Now it should be gone:
| Code Block |
|---|
C:\Users\Administrator>netsh interface ipv6 show addresses
Interface 1: Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1
Addr Type DAD State Valid Life Pref. Life Address
--------- ----------- ---------- ---------- ------------------------
Other Preferred infinite infinite ::1
Interface 10: Local Area Connection

--------- ----------- ---------- ---------- ------------------------
