Hi all,

I have a two NIC perfSONAR node, one NIC is used for owamp, while the other was used for bw only. Therefore, I have a very simple bwctld.conf file as follows:

log_location

src_node ipv4-address:4823

#src_node [ipv6-address]:4823

peer_port 6001-6200

facility local5

group bwctl

nuttcp_port 5301-5600

owamp_port 5601-5900

iperf_port 5001-5300

user bwctl

This works only for the ipv4 address on one interface, now I would like to make ipv6 test available. I thought that I might be able to add a line below the ipv4, simply by adding the ipv6 address in the configuration above (with # at the moment). If remove #

#src_node [ipv6-address]:4823

Restart bwctld, only ipv6 test is available. How could I make both ipv4 and ipv6 tests available on the same NIC? I would really appreciate if someone could guide me to the right direction.

Thank you.
