Comcast native ipv6 for network devices.
-
Ok still not working??? WTF? I believe that comcast has enabled ipv6 everywhere. Atleast in chicago this shows it is enabled
https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213069112737090935874.0004c1d17d71a22c5d721&msa=0&iwloc=0004c1d17d788f5a044edUpdated my comcast ipv6 vm to the latest, its gets an ipv6 on its wan. But even pfsense can not get anywhere via ipv6 when using ipv6 from comcast. HE works great. Comcast native not so much ;)
Any help - more than happy to let someone in that could take a look remotely to why not getting any default route for ipv6?
Ok maybe its not really enabled. Shouldn't I be seeing RA on my wan interface with a simple tcpdump command
example
tcpdump -n -i em1 -vv ip6not getting nothing.. Seems odd?
-
Look like that is a crowdsourced map of deployment, which might be faulty.
I see other threads in a forum I frequent where people claim to have IPv6 but it turned out to be a link-local.
If you do not see a RA on the WAN you don't have to try. They support both SLAAC and DHCP6 on the WAN so yes, you should see atleast RA messags.
-
yeah not seeing those.. Guess not available here for routers yet.
-
tcpdump -n -i em1 -vv ip6
Unless I'm missing something, those screenshots above show you with a DHCPv6 address. Also you're running tcpdump on the wrong interface according to those screenshots. It should be em0.
Comcast's gateway should be the LL address on the interfaces page.
-
No, that looks more like a stateless autoconf address, you get that one for free, but that would atleast imply that something is advertising.
I just setup a test box here and it worked, I did need to enter atleast 0 in the prefix id field on the LAN interface for the "Track interface WAN" section before it configured a prefix on the LAN. After a reboot nonetheless.
Still need to polish those edges.

Maybe one could add the radvdump binary to pfsense (or have it as a package) as I assume it could help a few to ease debugging their IPv6 setup?
-

It's actually not. Comcast RAs have the managed flag set on them. Mine looks the same and it's not SLAAC.
Also 2601::/28 is Comcast's prefix they're assigning via PD.
My guess is somehow the LL gateway isn't being added. It would really help if the OP could post a screenshot of his interface page.
For example, mine is: Gateway IPv6 fe80::201:5cff:fe32:1481
-
Maybe johnpoz is willing to give me access to his install for debugging?
-
Just to update with more info as to what a Comcast deployment is.

-
Yeah, that screenshot looks healthy.
-
Yeah more than willing to give access to take a look.. Just PM me when would be good time for you to access, and I can send you the info to remote in.
I have got a comcast guy on another forum checking for sure if should be available in my area.
As to screen shots and what em – they might of swapped because I was using 2 different vms in testing this. I had a clean vm that wasn't working and then was playing with it again on my normal vm. So those 2 vms might be swapped for which em is wan and which is lan, etc. Would have to double check that.
edit:
So if you see in the screenshots I posted I was getting Ips -- but just couldn't get anywhere, I didn't see a default route for ipv6. But looking forward to your PM on your schedule - I should be available tonight, few hours from now to switch it over to my clean install with no tunnel setup -- can let you in for sure to take a look. Would really really appreciate that!If you have time now I could remotely turn on remote access and let you in to current setup with HE tunnel setup, etc. And you could play with that. Don't care too much if you break the tunnel setup. Doesn't matter if loose the tunnel that is currently setup, would like to go native anyway ;)
edit2: Got your PM, thanks once I hear back from the comcast guy that its suppose to be there I will let you know. But what I am thinking is it's not there yet?
So this is my normal vm, I turned off the HE tunnel. Updated to the latest and greatest snap
2.1-BETA0 (i386)
built on Tue Jun 19 20:53:56 EDT 2012
FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p3I then run gitsysnc this morning to be sure. Deleted my HE tunnel stuff, set wan to dhcp6, prefix delegation 64. Then set Lan to track and 0 for prefix ID. Rebooted.
As you can see from screenshot I get a /128 and shows a /64 on my lan.. But just don't get a route out on ipv6 -- so I have highlighted that yes my wan is em1, and let a tcpdump -i em1 -vv ip6 run for like 5 minutes or so and just don't see anything! I should be seeing RA should I not? There should be some in a 5 minute period I would think ;)
So my guess is something is not turned on at my isp for native to work yet for me. Once I hear back from the comcast guy on another forum that is checking with my modem mac and still nothing working I will let you know and more than happy to let you in. Happy to let you in now if you want.
-
I edited my last post, but does not seem to have bumped the time on the thread. So bumpity bump ;)
-
johnpoz,
Reach out in the Comcast forums on dslreports.com. It looks like they've set up DHCPv6 without RA. Just checking though, you've got a DOCSIS3 modem, right?
-
Yup SB6120, and have PM out to netdog on that site, he responded already once - but seems I only game him the CMTS-MAC, when he needed the CM-MAC? So now I have sent him everything I could see from the modem with any sort of mac in it ;)
I thought he would need the CMTS-MAC to see if ipv6 was enabled on my connection, this is what my modem connects too right?

Ha! He actually plucked my IPv6 from a forum posting and looked me up. Told me to kick my modem so I could grab 3 x upstream.
-
I also posted all my info in the comcast direct forum on that site.
Well post back what I hear, but yeah it seems like just no RAs. If comcast comes back and says it should be working, I have remote access setup for databeestje already and have PM'd him the info.
I did notice your nick on that forum as well.
-
Ok databeestje got into my box, and he mentioned that my VM is not set to promiscuous on the switch the pfsense wan interface is connected to. Would block NDS.
So I changed that
But still not working, ran this command
rtsol -DF em1
checking if em1 is ready…
em1 is ready
set timer for em1 to 0:624884
New timer is 0:00624811
New timer is 0:00004311
timer expiration on em1, state = 1
send RS on em1, whose state is 2
set timer for em1 to 4:0
New timer is 4:00002585
timer expiration on em1, state = 2
send RS on em1, whose state is 2
set timer for em1 to 4:0
New timer is 4:00000173
received RA from fe80::250:56ff:fe00:2 on an unexpected IF(em0)
New timer is 0:00779783
timer expiration on em1, state = 2
send RS on em1, whose state is 2
set timer for em1 to 1:0
New timer is 1:00000259
timer expiration on em1, state = 2
No answer after sending 3 RSs
stop timer for em1
there is no timerSo unless have to restart the esxi box? To allow the switch setting to take effect, seems like no RAs
-
so I heard back from netdog
8m : 2012-06-20 15:33:59 : From NetDog See Profile delete · mark-unread · keep
The CMTS your on supports IPv6 and I can see leases going out to other customers on the DHCP server.but I responded back to him that not seeing any RAs and no default route.
-
so I did a gitsync since I saw that wrong RA commit, and then hit save on my wan and its working from the router now.

spoke too soon. Just did a reboot of pfsense, and now no route and
ping6 ipv6.google.com
ping6: UDP connect: No route to hostSo is this something wrong with pfsense, or comcast just not sending RA's – I have to guess no RA's since shouldn't I see them with a simple tcpdump?
