[SOLVED] IPv6 PPPoe and track interface

[snowyrain]

Hello,

EDIT:

It seems to work. On my Telekom,ADSL,Annex-J connection it works with the DrayTek settings in post#6 and the pfSense setting in post#9.

OLD MESSAGE:

I want to set ipv6. I get a /56 Prefix. My ISP is Telekom. I’m using a DrayTek Modem with pppoe. IPv4 works very fine. But IPv6 don’t’ work. Every night I get a new ipv6-address-range. So I try to work on the LAN with track-interface. Pfsense can ping ivp6.google.com. But the LAN-Interface gets no IPv6 address.

Edit 1: change MTU from 1300 to 1492 without success.

[hda]

Why is your WAN PPPoE MTU 1300 ?

IPv6 is sensitive to MTU value. Try 1492.

Hallo,

@hda:

Why is your WAN PPPoE MTU 1300 ?… Try 1492.

thanks for your reply. That was only a test. I have set the MTU to 1492, but nothing changed.  :(

...

And including rebooting pfSense ?…

[snowyrain]

Yes, I have restarted pfsense. But it doesn't work. :(

[hda]

Are you using DTv130 pass-tru ? Show your pfSense WAN & LAN webconfig setup.

Hello,

I have made screenshots.

Thank You

It is important you know or find-out the Telekom protocol to communicate with.
We can only guess and suggest.

Set DT-MoDem on PPPoE-protocol values & pass-through (yourscreen-2), not MPoA. No VLAN settings.
First achieve "bridging" and if there is an IPv4 on the pfSense-WAN.

Next is IPv6. You could read at another thread, i.e.:
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=89674.msg496564#msg496564

It looks like you have "Internet Access >> IPv6 connection type" set to "offline" on the modem?!

In addition to that, I think if for DHCP-PD to work through PPPoE, you need to check "Request a IPv6 prefix/information through the IPv4 connectivity link", and possibly "Only request a IPv6 prefix, do not request a IPv6 address" as well.

Really, though, the best way to figure out what's going on is to actually look at the logs.

Hello,

I've done a complete reinstall. I've tried many settings and reboot the system after every change. PFsense gets an IPv4 and IPv6 Address. PFsense can ping ipv6.google.com and other ipv4 hosts.

But  "Track Interface" didn't work.

I've a second DSL-Connection with an Fritzbox as Router. This setting works fine. But I don't like double NAT. So I don't want use the Fritzbox.

Which log files are relevant?

You did not get the IPv6 address (yet) :-
Your Interfaces should show an "IPv6 Address" entry for PPPoE. And Dashboard-Interfaces should show at least a WAN IPv6 number entry.

You have: pppoe0 as 2003:56:ca7f:–---; em1 as 2003:56:ca3c:-----; and  em0 as fe80::20c:----.
What is all this ? Can you make a sensible explanation for it ? Devise a proper setup ?

Your problem must/can be fixed with the corrrect pfSense-WAN config. This is Telekom/ISP specific...

Hello,

I don't know why. But it works at the moment. I think it was a short disorder from my ISP. But I'm not sure.

Thank you very much vor your help.

Have I nice day.

@snowyrain:

I don't know why…

As a pfSense manager yourself, that is not a very satisfying position.  :P
