Internode Native IPv6, No Address?
-
Looking over my logs, I have a feeling something's gone wrong on the nodes end.
It was not link local in the past.
-
I haven't called support yet, but in the meantime I thought I'd try disabling IPv6 in the Node CP, and will enable it again later tonight… might kick something on their end into working differently.
-
As silly as it sounds, try changing your MAC,
-
Tried setting it all up again today… still doesn't work 100%. I can use Diagnostics > Ping to google.com using IPv6, and get replies... but nothing on the LAN side can access remote IPv6 addresses.
Toje, are you seeing entries like these in your System Log?

Edit: Seems to be working now, for some reason. ??? ;D
The settings I'm using:
WAN:
-
IPv6 Configuration Type: DHCP6
-
Use IPv4 connectivity as parent interface: Ticked
-
Request only a IPv6 prefix: Ticked
-
DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation size: 64
-
Send IPv6 prefix hint: Ticked
LAN:
-
IPv6 Configuration Type: Static IPv6
-
IPv6 address: 2001:44b8:xxx:yyyy:: (/64)
DHCP:
-
Enable DHCPv6 server on LAN interface: Un-ticked
-
Router Advertisements: Assisted (though I think it should be Unmanaged.. but I'll just leave it as is for the minute ;))
… and a few WAN and LAN firewall rules.
Edit 2: ugh, borked again, without any changes made.

@ingenieurmt:
Request only a IPv6 prefix: Yes
DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation size: NoneThat seems a bit odd; the first option says you only want a delegated prefix, but the second option says you don't want a prefix. Why do you think you want the first one, anyway?

That, too, seems odd: You're requesting prefix delegation, but then you're not actually using the prefix information obtained via DHCP-PD but instead configure your prefix statically. Also, I thought the delegated prefix was supposed to be a /56, not a /64?!

Not too sure what you're saying… any chance you could elaborate?

Your delegated static /56 IPv6 prefix for your LAN is: 2001:44b8:xxx:yyyy
- Your existing IPv4 address (if static) and any existing framed route(s)
- A dynamic /64 IPv6 prefix for your PPP session
- A static /56 IPv6 prefix for your LAN (if you are using a router with Prefix Delegation)
That's what's shown in the Node control panel. My interpretation of that is 64 is used on the WAN's "DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation size" drop-down, and 56 is used for the LAN's "IPv6 address" (although Logs > System > Routing then has entries saying "radvd[79545]: prefix length should be 64 for em0", so I just set it to 64 there as well).
Edit: em0 is the LAN interface.

I have the same Setup Rezin,
Razzfazz I set it up with the idea my WAN is the Internode side of the network and my LAN is my side, so like on a normal lan-lan router there are two different IP's

The "dynamic /64 IPv6 prefix for your PPP session" is what you get on your WAN side; this has nothing to do with prefix delegation. The "delegated prefix size" field determines (as the name implies) the size of the prefix that your provider is delegating to you (in this case, /56); parts of that delegated prefix (e.g., one of the 256 /64 prefixes that your delegated /56 prefix spans) is what you'd use on your LAN-side interfaces.
From the quoted blurb, it is not clear to me that your provider actually requires the use of DHCP6-PD (–> prefix delegation via DHCP6) at all; given that your prefix is in fact statically assigned, you may be able to get away with just configuring your LAN side as "static IPv6" with an address from the prefix and without requesting delegation through the WAN interface.

Right; on the WAN side, you have an address from a dynamically assigned /64 prefix, whereas any LAN-side interfaces would get addresses from (different sub-prefixes of) the delegated /56; pfSense will then route between them, with a default route out the WAN interface, while your provider will just route your delegated prefix to your WAN address.

That's exactly how I have it and see it.

Hey Toje, try this if you haven't already got it going:
WAN:
-
IPv6 Configuration Type: DHCP6
-
Use IPv4 connectivity as parent interface: Ticked
-
Request only a IPv6 prefix: Ticked
-
DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation size: 64
-
Send IPv6 prefix hint: Un-ticked
LAN:
-
IPv6 Configuration Type: Static IPv6
-
IPv6 address: 2001:44b8:xxx:yyyy:: /64
-
Gateway IPv6: None
DHCP:
-
Enable DHCPv6 server on LAN interface: Un-ticked
-
Router Advertisements: Unmanaged
.. and some WAN/LAN firewall rules to allow outgoing, and incoming IPv6 ICMP.
You may also need to edit /etc/inc/interfaces.inc, and comment out:if(!isset($wancfg['dhcp6prefixonly'])) $dhcp6cconf .= " send ia-na 0; # request stateful address\n";http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2126663
Edit: Actually just check "Request only a IPv6 prefix".

Yeah no change for me,
still getting fe80::20c:29ff:fe65:5f35%em1 on WAN

Run "ifconfig pppoe0" (or your WAN interface). Looking at Status > Interfaces for my "WAN1 interface (pppoe0)", it doesn't show one of the IPv6 addresses that ifconfig does:
inet6 2001:44b8:etc prefixlen 64 autoconf
-
I see, seems like that sothing that needs to be fixed
I am getting
inet6 2001:44b8:1050:8934:7c67:270:8842:cc3c prefixlen 64 autoconf
nd6 options=3<performnud,accept_rtadv></performnud,accept_rtadv> -
Sounds like it works… :)

Anyone got it working?

I've had this problem for a while, since upgrading beyond 2.1-RC0. I have IPv6 working fine with Internode on an install from pfSense-LiveCD-2.1-RC0-i386-20130528-0427.iso but I can't get it working in 2.1-RELEASE-i386.
I've even tried backing up and restoring the pfSense config from the old install to the new one (I run pfSense VMs). Everything works after restoring, except IPv6!
The 2.1-RELEASE has more WAN IPV6 options than the 2.1-RC0. In RC0 I select "DHCP6", which then shows the "DHCP6 client configuration" options below it. The only option is the prefix delegation size which I set to /56 and when I apply the settings my WAN interface gets assigned my static IPv4 address from Internode and a global /64 Internode IPv6 address.
In the final release 2.1-RELEASE there are three tickboxes in addition to the prefix delegation size drop down box. I'm sure I've tried every combination of these tickboxes to no avail.
I'm confident the problem is something that has broken in pfSense since 2.1-RC0 due to the new options for DHCP6.
I'm happy to post system logs from both the 2.1-RC0 and the 2.1-RELEASE installs if somebody is a good pfSense troubleshooter, although the only DHCP6 entries I can see in the logs are under the PPP tab. If there's a better log file to be looking at via command line please let me know.
Cheers, BieRHeDD.
