Howdy,

You don’t install it in Asterisk, if Asterisk is to make use of it, the underlying networking stack has to support it and you have to have IPv6 connectivity. As far as Asterisk is concerned, it only supports IPv6 for SIP, beginning with Asterisk 1.8.

Cheers.

Hi malcolmd,
I understand what you say. but, I use Free PBX Distro. I don’t know it works with IPv6 or not.
Anyway, I must set up Linux and then continue to install Asterisk 1.8 by package?
for IPv6 asterisk, can I install AsteriskNow or FreePBX?
Please clarify this issue
Thanks,

Unless your packager has explicitly disabled IPv6, then it’s probably enabled by your underlying distribution.

What’s important is that Asterisk is at version 1.8, not your version of AsteriskNOW or FreePBX distro; though I have no idea if FreePBX has anything that cares about IPv4 vs. IPv6.

Thanks malcolmd,
Yes, I use Free PBX distro version 1.8 by “core show version” command. and FreePBX GUI.
I can set IPv6 address in eth0, and access GUI via IPv6 address (http://[IPv6]:8080).
Ping IPv6 address is ok.
I’m not sure it works or not. So, I need your experience to sure this version works.
or I must install asterisk by Package on Linux.

If the version returned by “core show version” from the Asterisk CLI is 1.8.something, then it’s capable of IPv6 for SIP connectivity.
