### Enable IPv6 packet forwarding {#prerequisite-ipv6-forwarding}
To check if IPv6 packet forwarding is enabled:
```bash
sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding
```
If the output is `net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1` it is already enabled.
Otherwise it is not enabled yet.
To manually enable IPv6 packet forwarding:
```bash
# sysctl params required by setup, params persist across reboots
cat <<EOF | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.d/k8s.conf
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1
EOF
# Apply sysctl params without reboot
sudo sysctl --system
```
You need to have an IPv4 and and IPv6 address range to use. Cluster operators typically
use private address ranges for IPv4. For IPv6, a cluster operator typically chooses a global
