[atlas] My probe's not doin' IPv6

After 3 months, I found time to revisit this...

I could I manually assign an IPv6 address to the probe (22382)?

What I can’t get my head around is how to directly manage or query [in the sense of managing it, not measurements] the probe.  I have an IPv4 address for it, so I can send it packets, but if it has a SSH service, I certainly wouldn’t have a password much less a key.

There is no reason I can see keeping the probe from setting up an IPv6 address.  On the machines I’ve looked (at least one MacAir and one wired MacMini), IPv6 is apparently fully functional in the home network.

I don’t think it is a network environment problem, although, prior to July last year IPv6 worked and I did swap out some CPE equipment at the time IPv6 stopped working. In July  I went from a mundane cable modem bridge in front of a NATting WIFI router to a new cable modem which I am running in bridge mode in front of the same NATing WIFI router.  This switch did start the IPv6 problems for the probe.  What would help is asking the probe what it sees, hence the need for something like management console access.

BTW, The SOS History lists AAAA queries but nothing about responses.  For 18 April, it shows “no-usb” but for 19 April, that’s cleared.  This just confuses me (I did replace the usb stick a few months ago), I can’t tell if the usb is still an issue.  I keep staring at the log and it doesn’t seem to tell me anything.  This is on

PS - As far as the probe’s name "Looks like something Apple would sell”, this comes from a question on a form when I registered the probe that asked for a description to it.  And that’s what I thought best described the probe, didn’t realize this would become the name. ;)
