Tagging dhcp6c request with a PRIORITY
-
VLAN priority is configurable when you create the VLAN. In the GUI. No need for ethtool.
-
OK, I guess it's just not configurable after the VLAN is created.
-
Thanks guys the problem with using vlan priority in the gui that way is it then sets the priority for all traffic on the vlan
I need to change it just for dhcp6c solicit request
Hence trying to use the vlan priority field in the firewalls config

I don't think that's possible. Everything in a VLAN gets the same priority. Perhaps you meant the differentiated services bits in the IPv6 header? Again, having a different value will not prevent the packet from being delivered, just affect the priority.

I didn't explain myself well JKnott. You hit the nail on the head. I don't want to block anything just change the priority of the one packet

Is it possible for you to provide exactly what Orange requires? Do they not provide config info? I completely fail to understand why they need a priority set for something like dhcp. You'd normally use it for time sensitive applications, such as VoIP. DHCP, including on IPv6 is a best effort protocol and if a response is not received, it simply tries again. No need for any special priority.
I used DHCP6-PD with my ISP and I don't have to do anything special. It just works.

I'd suggest to switch to a less idiotic ISP.

When I see someone make strange requrests, such as this, I often find there's a miscommunication somewhere. What the OP is describing simply does not make sense. For example, why is a VLAN needed to talk to a DHCP server? Does the traffic also travel through that VLAN? If not, then it's a really strange situation. Also, as I mentioned, priority should have virtually no effect on DHCP operation. I have seen VLANs used in commercial installations, but not home. And in the case of commercial installations, VLANs were used because one carrier was connecting another to a customer they otherwise couldn't reach. On the other hand, my ISP provides a modem/router that connects to the cable TV network and can be configured in either router or bridge mode. Either way, it's just a plain Ethernet connection, without any need for priority, VLAN or anything else.

Well, while the VLAN may make sense for things like triple-play, the DHCP priority tag is just a giant WTF.
-
I don't disagree with anything your saying either of you but I can assure you all Internet traffic must flow over vlan 832 (tv traffiic over 838 and ip phone 835)
I didn't design this but it the way Orange in France is configure for FTTH
I have a netgear switch currently achieving the priority setting for the dchp6c solicit so I know it's the right set up and my wirfeshark traces match those of the router supplied by orange
If I take the priority off (remove the switch) then I don't get an ip. If I tag the VLAN flow is about 10% of what it should be
In short I don't think I'm misunderstanding what is needed in fact my current setup confirm this. I had just hoped to lose the netgear switch and use pfsense to set the priority
I guess not
