Setting up IPv6 on my Netgate
-
Re: How to setup IPv6 for Comcast or similar ISP?
I have a Netgate firewall and followed the steps in the above post with a re-annotation below. One of the options is on a different page than the post mentions. I can see that my wan port now has an IPv6 address. However, my WAN_DHCP6 address that is showing up in my gateway is still my link local address. I reset my router and tried to delete and create a new gateway and it wont let me. How do i clear this error?
Is there any issue with my below configuration? D
