IPv6 Native with Telstra, Australia
-
EDIT This is now working. Here is the wiki on how to get it to work: https://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/pfsense_ipv6_telstra
I have been unable to get IPv6 working with Australia's largest ISP. They issue a /56 PD. They run IPv4 and IPv6 natively dual stack. I plug directly into an Ethernet port which is delivered to me via fibre. It's an IPoE connection.
Telstra uses Ipv6 PD via dhcpv6.
This is Native Ipv6 in a dual ipv4/ipv6 stack enviroment, no tunnel broker or 6rd.
Telstra's supported router uses DHCPv6 and get a PD (prefix delegation) back, it will then assign the addresses to LAN clients.
This means while the Telstra router may show it doesn't have a ipv6 address, It's still handing out PD ipv6 addresses to clients.Telstra supports third party routers - just cannot find a way to get pfsense going. They are happy to support me getting it working. I've been working with Telstra's back of office IPv6 person, so I have access to a really good tech guy in Telstra.
In this post, I'll include the following
- My config
- My DHCP logs
- My packet sniffing logs
- Telstra's logs from their end
Ignore the time stamps across the logs. They are different simply because I've just copied the ones handy - but its all off the same config.
What I am hoping for is some advice on how to get it working. Thanks in advance.
My config:

Menu: Services – DHCPv6 Server & RA – Router AdvertisementsFor LAN:

I've even tried creating firewall rules to allow IPv6 ICMP and UDP into the WAN interface thinking that the firewall might be dropping them.
So that's my config.

My WAN interface has local IPv6: fe80::20c:29ff:fe05:a3a1

After further analysis, I think the key thing here is that Telstra appears to be responding validly, yet pfsense won't pick it up:

Maybe check pfSense ICMP6 default rules in /tmp/debug.rules. If there is no rule allowing ICMP6 neighbour solicitation in on WAN interface 2001:8003:0:bdf:f0:3:9:0 then add such a rule.
(You could also verify this by checking Firewall log ... you should see the ICMP6 being blocked)
-
@dugeem Thanks for looking at this. I see no IPv6 traffic in my logs being dropped, and I've read that rules for IPv6 are auto created and no manual rules are required.
According to johnpoz "The icmpv6 rules that are required for IPv6 to work are allowed but hidden, just like dhcp is when you enable dhcp.. There is no need to worry about setting rules to allow the required stuff for IPv6 to function."
-
@Derelict Any ideas on this one? Basically pfsense won't accept Telstra's neighbor solicitation resulting in IPv6 not working on Australia's largest ISP. Other third party routers are working - just not pfsense. I have posted a heap of info above to help troubleshoot.
-
@johnpoz Same thing - if you've got any ideas on this one? Ta.

Set the DHCPv6 Debug Log flag on the WAN, and post the WHOLE DHCP logs filtering on command dhcp6c.
Post a screen shot of your Interfaces > WAN especially the DHCP6 section, not a textual representation.
You might also want to packet capture on WAN for DHCP6 traffic and post that capture file, not some textual representation of the same. dhcp6 traffic should be on UDP port 547.
Are they supposed to be delegating a /64, /60, /56, or /48?
What is the exact guidance Telstra gives for configuring your own DHCP6 router?
Since the typical settings don't work you need to find whatever secret sauce they require. You might also consider packet capturing a device that does work if Telstra can't tell you what they require.

I'll do this over multiple posts.

It's me following other ISP implementations where people have said its close to how Telstra work. That said, you are right - its me stabbing in the dark trying to get it to work. I am reading info on how other 3rd party routers have got theirs up and running with Telstra and trying to translate that into pfsense. But long and short - its flying darts blind folded.
-
I would get rid of all of that and start over with basically what I have there and start the information gathering and pasting evolution over again.
No need to fly blind with actual information from the ISP and an ISP willing to help.

So I now have the config you posted above. Results below. I would also say the ISP doesn't know a thing about pfsense, so not sure how much help they will be to us. That said, the guy does respond to me if I have specific questions.
Here is the debug DHCP log with the config you suggested above:

@derelict Here is the new packet capture from the settings you told me to implement:
-
@derelict Interestingly, zero UDP packets in the packet captures. All ICMP neighbor solicitation.
-
@derelict Also, no idea how to packet capture their router doing DHCPv6 negotiation. Their router plugs straight into the IPoE interface and I don't have a hub where I can plug wireshark or anything like that to capture packets. Any ideas welcome on how to achieve that. Their router also has custom firmware so no ability to packet capture off of it. I can check their limited logs, but that's about it. Let me know if you want me to that.
-
-
They do not have to know anything about pfSense. They should be able to tell you what is required of ANY dhcp6 client to pull an address and PD. Then we just make pfSense do what they require instead of guessing.

What I've given you is everything they have given me when I've asked. I don't think they intend on giving me any more info unless there is a specific question you want me to go back and ask them. They haven't provided me with any further info. I've literally given you exactly what they have given me. They think the issue is to do with neighbor solicitation and pfsense not accepting it.

So in summary - I'm out of moves. I feel that if this is ever going to get resolved, and we need more info from Telstra, then I would need to ask them specific questions for them to answer (and I don't know what those questions are).
I've asked the general questions like you've already asked me which is "how do they expect a client to get a DHCPv6 PD" and their response was the email above, plus the monitoring of my control plane, and coming back to me saying its a neighbor solicitation issue with pfsense.

You should absolutely see traffic on WAN on UDP/547
That is Solicit, Advertise, Request, Reply
All I did was start that capture then edit/save Interfaces > WAN

@larrikin said in IPv6 Native with Telstra, Australia:
I am reading info on how other 3rd party routers have got theirs up and running with Telstra and trying to translate that into pfsense.
Maybe you should post some of those.

@derelict Sure. Here is one https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2597579

OK so prefix-only probably translates to:
Request only an IPv6 prefix
Only request an IPv6 prefix, do not request an IPv6 addressDid you check that?

Yes - I've tried that too.

OK and what did the dhcp6c logs look like when you only enabled that and tried it?
You're going to have to be a lot more forthcoming with information. We can't test it from here. Only you can.

Here are the logs. Want another packet capture too?

Mate - really appreciate you helping me. Apologies if I am not giving enough info. I'll just assume from here on in to include logs and packet captures every time you ask me to change something. Shout out if you need more info than those things.
What just seems strange to me is this whole neighbor solicitation thing on ICMP. It doesn't seem to be able to get past that and onto UDP.

@derelict This is the only info I can get out of the Telstra router which does get a valid IPv6 address. Not sure its helpful, but thought I'd give it to you:

That doesn't show a DHCP attempt.
You might want to reset to defaults and start over.
Resetting everything related to the WAN DHCP6 should be enough but nobody knows what you've clicked to try to fix this.

@larrikin Well then that whirlpool link you posted is wrong because obviously it issues a WAN IP address.

Did you get traffic on IPv6/UDP/547 on the WAN? If that's not happening nothing is going to work.

Welcome to my confusion of the land of contradictions with the information that is out there on how Telstra IPv6 actually works :). The Telstra modem I showed you above has a WAN v6IP address. There is another Telstra modem I have where it doesn't get a WAN v6IP address. It's different per their modems.

I only get the ICMP traffic with the neighbor solicitation that you see in the packet capture. Telstra responds to my pfsense request using ICMP neighbor solicitation, but my pfsense doesn't seem to do anything with their response, so it just goes into a perpetual loop. That's the problem from Telstra's perspective.

I've done exactly that. The config I have is exactly the one you've asked me to do. I have nothing else configured. Let me know if you want screen shots. I've literally disabled everything. I've even factory reset pfsense. Then freshly did the config as per what you asked. That is the config that is currently live.
