HE.Net Routed /48 on Multi LAN interface
-
Hi guys,
Is there any document and example configuration on pfSense regarding on how to setup/assign HE.Net Routed /48 on multiple LAN interface,please . Right now i'm using pfSense as per following information :
Virtualbox 4.2.4 r81684
Host OS: Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate
pfSense : 2.1-BETA1 (i386) built on Fri Dec 28 20:54:16 EST 2012 FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p5
Physical NIC : 2 x
Virtual NIC : 2 x Host Only Networking
Client OS : Debian 32 with static IPv6The current setup at this moment, i can surf and ping IPv6 address using my LAN Interface using the Routed /48 from HE.Net . I've tried to follow this guide http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Configure_Multiple_IPv6_Subnets and i found myself lost since the client which is connected to my virtual NIC can ping IPv4 (different subnet with the host) back and forth without any problem. But when comes to IPv6 it fails me, it can't even ping6 to www.kame.net/ipv6.google.com. For the sake of argument, my client OS haven't got any firewall rules iptables/iptables6 (which is allow all). I'm trying hard to resolve this and i've gone through quite numerous post inside this great forum but haven't found the solution yet.
Below are concerning questions on specifically http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Configure_Multiple_IPv6_Subnets guide
1. Is it true that according to the guide on Configure_Multiple_IPv6_Subnets , i need to create bridge ? Would this COA (course of action) permanent (*referring to create bridge) ?
2. On the screenshot http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/File:Network_Interfaces.png the bridge doesn't have IPv6 address while going on further more on the document, i found there's a need/step to assign an address to the bridge interface. Would someone please clarify this.Thank you for the attention and thank you for the response.

I did not have to bridge anything for my configuration, I have HE.net using the delegated /48 but I cut out several /64's from the delegated /48 and assigned them to my LAN interface, and another subnet for my wireless LAN style interface. Everything it's working great, disclaimer, I have no idea of knowing if it's the "proper" way operate but it seems to work just fine.

What brokendash said is right.
Make yourself some /64's out of the /48 and use them as you did the first routed /64 they gave you.
You have 2^16 (65,536) /64 networks to use inside that /48. Don't spend them all in one place. :-)
