My configuration.....
For Machine-1 
# ip -6 addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
8: epmac1: <BROADCAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100
    inet6 3ffe:1234::2/128 scope global
    inet6 fe80::a00:6ff:fe2b:9654/10 scope link

Machine-2
#ip -6 addr 
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100
    inet6 3ffe:1234::1/128 scope global
    inet6 fe80::2b0:d0ff:fed2:65ff/10 scope link
    
I connected both the machines (directly) using cross cable and using sendip utility(ipv6 packet generator)

usage: sendip -p ipv6 -p tcp destaddr
i sent few packets with ipv6. 
I used ethereal to capture the data(in promiscous mode).

Here source=3ffe:1234::1 and dest=3ffe:1234::2.
when i send an ipv6 packet using sendip,
the source sends ICMPv6 Neighbor solicitation, 
but i dont see a reply from the dest,which is expected.

Is the method correct ?? Or other alternative method ?? Advice pls.

Regds,
-San

when i connect my two IPv6 hosts using a cross cable, i'm unable 
to
ping and the ethernet link seems to be down.
Also, one machine has bridged-ethernet.
Is it correct to do so ??

pls help.

No.

Just the basic: address and route to the network
