how to enable an ipv6 address on a linux pc?
thanks in advance
It's part of the kernel. If you're using a distro where you don't compile your own kernel, you probably have it as a module. Try examples 4.1.1, 4.1.2 from this page to see if you do. Getting it to load automatically on boot will depend on your distro.
recompile your kernel with ipv6 support.

I am trying to capture the ipv6 packets through pcap utility.
For that i am redirecting the ipv6 packets to the loopback address , but the ipv6 packets are not getting redirected to tha loopback address.Instead they are taking there normal routes.
