Hello dear IPv6 enthusiasts
I read through many messages and I am still uncertain about the exact syntax or more the behaviour if IPv6 with DHCPv6-PD and fixed IP addresses.
I found this http://community.ubnt.com/t5/EdgeMAX/Version-1-6-0-IPv6-Comcast/m-p/1169289#M55531 article, answered by UBNT-stig) most helpful, but I am still a bit stuck for use of IPv6 without slaac but with fixed adresses and DHCPv6 on my LAN.
(and still I am missing a CLI reference for all the EdgeOS commands).
I would be happy to compile all my knowledge into a kb article and share it to everybody.
Example:
ethernet eth6 { address dhcp description WAN dhcpv6-pd { pd 0 { interface eth0 { prefix-id 1000 } interface eth3 { host-address ::1 prefix-id 2000 } prefix-length /48 } rapid-commit enable } duplex auto speed auto }
So here my questions.
- Is it really sufficient to set the configuration for the IPv6 of eth0 and eth3 in the section of the WAN PD 0?
- Does radvd automatically assign the corresponding /64 Prefix (as /64 is default) for the internal networks (eth0 and eth3)
- What would I need to configure, if I would like to do stateful DHCPv6 inside my LAN segments? Assumption my Provider would give me a fixed prefix, would it be ok to omit the whole PD configuration and write the needed configurations directly into the devices section like this example?
ethernet eth3 { address n.n.n.1/24 address n:n:n:1000::1/64 description "something" duplex auto dup-addr-detect-transmits 1 router-advert { cur-hop-limit 64 link-mtu 0 managed-flag false max-interval 600 other-config-flag false prefix n:n:n:1000::/64 { autonomous-flag true on-link-flag true valid-lifetime 2592000 } reachable-time 0 retrans-timer 0 send-advert true } } speed auto }
