PPPoE IPv4 Address Lost after IPv6 /128 address assigned by DHCP
-
@cwager990 What ISP, Country, technology?
-
@Bob-Dig Andrews and Arnold; I've configured it as per the guide on there own support site.
Technology is VDSL2 / FTTC, so external VDSL2 modem connected to the WAN port of pfSense for PPPoE.

@cwager990 said in PPPoE IPv4 Address Lost after IPv6 /128 address assigned by DHCP:
Any ideas ?
Try selecting Request only an IPv6 prefix. That should prevent assigning the /128 address. You don't really need it, as it just provides an address to the interface. If you need an address for a VPN, etc. you can use your LAN IPv6 address.

@JKnott Hi, I have tried this as suggested and the behaviour is the same.
It is worth nothing that I have now discovered if I force disconnect the pppoe session several times it eventually sets up correctly with both an IPv6 and an IPv4 address.
This is a problem because a reboot and its back to just IPv6 making a remote reboot all but impossible.
Still hoping to find a solution to this.
Thanks

@cwager990 What happens if you disable IPv6, is IPv4 working with no problem?
-
@Bob-Dig Yeah if I disable IPv6 it established fine on IPv4 no issues no drop-outs nothing.
-
@cwager990 Have you tried "Do not wait for a RA"? This is common around here for DSL.
-
@Bob-Dig Hi, so that seems to have fixed my issue although quite what RA has to do with an IPv4 address being dropped beats me. Thanks
-
@Bob-Dig looks like I spoke to soon still have the same issue it's intermittent sometimes it gets both address on reboot or session reconnect sometimes it doesn't.

I am still having this issue, does anyone have any other ideas ? I really don't want to be forced back to my slow ASA 5512's ha!
