      Altibox/Lyse, Norway
      6RD IPv6 Prefix: 2a01:79c::/30
      6RD Border Relay: 213.167.115.92
      6RD IPv4 Prefix length: 0

      Results in a /62.

      They're using dhcp option 212 to distribute the configuration to the devices that support it.

      I haven't managed to get it to work myself yet. It adds the correct address to the interface - the one I've been told I'm supposed to get - but I can't actually reach anything from it. Not entirely sure if the problem is on my end or with my ISP. Running Pfsense 2.1-RC0 (amd64) built on Tue Jun 4 20:54:59 EDT 2013.

        Hi Nulani,

        As far as I know 6RD has been broken in 2.1 since mid-January.

        You can find some additional details in this post:

          Some commits were made this week that others reported fixed the issue. Are you still seeing a problem on a current snapshot?

            I'll update this weekend and see. It isn't working in June 4th.

              Hi jimp,

              I just gave the June 6th RC-0 build a try and if anything it was working even worse. Ordinarily I can reach the http://test-ipv6.com/ website and confirm that 6RD isn't working but with the RC-0 build I couldn't even do that.

              This was with a straight update from Jan 18th to June 6th using the instructions in the sticky.

              Rolling back the vm to my Jan 18th build got me right back up & running.

              I've been keeping track of the ticket I opened for this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/2882 so I was unaware of any change that had been made that might have fixed 6RD.

                    Hi cmb,

                    I just updated to the Wed, June 12th snapshot and 6RD is still not working.

                    Please let me know if there is anything I can do or provide to help fix this.

                      I upgrade all my systems with 6rd to today's snapshot and they all work. Do you have a default v6 route listed under Diag>Routes? Getting a v6 IP assigned to the LAN from the PD? radvd running and assigning IPs on the LAN?

                        Hi Chris,

                        I can't answer your question right this moment because I gave rolled back to my Jan 18th snap where it all works perfectly. All I do is run the upgrade and the gateway monitor stays down & I can't do any ipv6. It does feel like the rest of the box is dragging when I run the June 12th snap.

                        Gimme a few minutes to update again and I should be able to get some answers.

                          Still no change. Gateways shows as down.

                            Well, gateway down could be caused by the gateway not responding on ICMP.

                            You should instead try to ping6 some ipv6 site on the Internet.

                            6RD has been working for me since the june 12:th build.

                              Can't ping anything but the interface itself across IPv6, I'm afraid.

                                I believe I have spotted what the problem probably is in my case:

                                wan_stf: flags=4001 <up,link2>metric 0 mtu 1280
                                inet6 2a01:79d:469d:6d78:: prefixlen 30
                                nd6 options=3 <performnud,accept_rtadv>v4net 0.0.0.0/0
                                v4br 213.167.115.92

                                Prefixlen should be 62, not 30. At least, a 62 is what I'm assigned from my ISP. Manually correcting it makes no difference, however.

                                  You probably need latest snapshot and are missing the default v4 gateway.

                                    I'll try again with the latest snapshot, although I do have the default v4 gateway set.

                                      Hi ermal,

                                      I just tried with the July 12th snapshot & still no luck.

                                      I took a look and the output of the 2 commands you asked me to run in this ticket:

                                      http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/2882

                                      seem to be the same.

                                      As always, if there is anything I can provide to help resolve this ticket please just let me know!

                                      -Will

                                        From relooking at the redmine posts you put your v6 default gateway is using the wrong interface.
                                        It should use the wan_stf rather than the underlying interface.

                                        Can you resave your default gateway for v6?

                                        Also show config.xml of gateways and your wan interface together with ifconfig, netstat -rn

                                          Hi ermal,

                                          I have updated the ticket here:

                                          http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/2882

                                          with the requested information.

                                          I took a look at "System: Gateways: Edit gateway" and my ipv6 gateway is listed as "dynamic" I tried to re-save it by hitting the save button but there was no change. Is this the right place to check? Charter doesn't specify a default gateway, so I don't know what I should set it to if not dynamic.

                                          -Will

                                            On centurylink with a PPoE i get the following 6rd errors:
