isatapd creates and maintains an ISATAP tunnel (rfc5214) in Linux.
It uses the in-kernel ISATAP support first introduced in linux-2.6.25. It does NOT operate the tunnel or handle any IPv6 traffic other than router solicitations and router advertisements.
This is NOT isatapd from miredo which was removed in miredo-1.1.6.
Usage: isatapd [OPTIONS] [ROUTER]... -n --name name of the tunnel default: is0 -l --link tunnel link device default: auto -m --mtu set tunnel MTU default: auto -t --ttl set tunnel hoplimit. default: 64 -N --nopmtudisc disable ipv4 pmtu discovery. default: pmtudisc enabled -r --router set potential router. default: 'isatap'. -i --interval interval to perform router solicitation default: auto -D --check-dns interval to perform DNS resolution and recreate PRL. default: 3600 seconds -d --daemon fork into background -p --pid store pid of daemon in file --user drop privileges to this user default: 'nobody' -v --verbose increase verbosity -q --quiet decrease verbosity -h --help display this message --version display version

An ISATAP router is easily set up with linux command line tools. Just statically set up an ISATAP tunnel device, configure a global address and start radvd on it:
# ip tunnel add name is0 mode isatap local 10.0.0.1 # ip link set is0 up # ip -6 addr add 2001:db8:1234:5:0:5efe:a00:1/64 dev is0
interface is0 { AdvSendAdvert on; UnicastOnly on; prefix 2001:db8:1234:5::/64 { AdvOnLink on; AdvRouterAddr on; }; };
You should now be able to connect to this ISATAP router using the isatapd tool introduced above. For ease of configuration just set up a DNS A record for isatap.DOMAIN.TLD.
