<p dir="auto">I'm trying to setup native ipv6 on my network<br />
I'm using a fresh install of pFsense 2.1rc0.<br />
My ISP provide me ipv6 with this prefix: 2a01:e34:eedf:8ea0::/64<br />
The WAN interface receives this ip via dhcp6 : 2a01:e34:eedf:8ea0:20d:bf9f:f2cc:fdd1<br />
I set static ip on the LAN interface: 2a01:e34:eedf:8ea0:1::1</p>
<p dir="auto">If I ping ipv6.google.com, from the WAN source address it works fine:</p>
<pre><code>PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 2a01:e34:eedf:8ea0:20d:bf9f:f2cc:fdd1 --&gt; 2a00:1450:4007:809::1013
16 bytes from 2a00:1450:4007:809::1013, icmp_seq=0 hlim=57 time=161.021 ms
16 bytes from 2a00:1450:4007:809::1013, icmp_seq=1 hlim=57 time=119.564 ms
16 bytes from 2a00:1450:4007:809::1013, icmp_seq=2 hlim=57 time=184.896 ms

--- ipv6.l.google.com ping6 statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/std-dev = 119.564/155.160/184.896/26.992 ms
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">But if I ping from LAN, it does not work:</p>
<pre><code>
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 2a01:e34:eedf:8ea0:1::1 --&gt; 2a00:1450:4007:809::1013

--- ipv6.l.google.com ping6 statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">It does not look like a firewall issue, as does have IPV6* allowed rule.<br />
And if I capture the packets, I can see the request sent, but not comming back:</p>
<pre><code>08:45:29.200477 IP6 2a01:e34:eedf:8ea0:1::1 &gt; 2a00:1450:4007:809::1013: ICMP6, echo request, seq 0, length 16
08:45:30.201570 IP6 2a01:e34:eedf:8ea0:1::1 &gt; 2a00:1450:4007:809::1013: ICMP6, echo request, seq 1, length 16
08:45:31.191715 IP6 2a01:e34:eedf:8ea0:1::1 &gt; 2a00:1450:4007:809::1013: ICMP6, echo request, seq 2, length 16
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">What is wrong why my settings?<br />
Is it possible that my LAN ip is wrong?</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks for your help.</p>

<p dir="auto">My ISP (Free), send a /64 prefix, which does not allow to have sub-networks.</p>
<p dir="auto">So one of the solution is to create a bridge between LAN and WAN.<br />
with:</p>
<p dir="auto">ebtables -t broute -A BROUTING -p ! ipv6 -j DROP<br />
brctl addbr br0<br />
ifconfig br0 up<br />
brctl addif br0 eth0<br />
brctl addif br0 eth1</p>
<p dir="auto">I have created a bridge in &gt;Interfaces &gt; Bridge<br />
BRIDGE0 : WAN, LAN</p>
<p dir="auto">But what else now?</p>
<ul>
<li>what ipv6 should be assigned to OPT1 (BRIDGE0) and WAN?</li>
</ul>
