[SOLVED] Setting up native IPv6 connectivity

  • samip537

    Allocated blocks:
    2001:2060:4f:c::1/64 (In use.)

    2001:2060:4f:d::1/64
    2001:2060:4f:e::1/64
    (These two for pfSense.)

    The question is how should I add these?

    WAN => Works.

    How do I need to add the LAN IPv6 address? With gateway or without? How do I configure the DHCPv6 server and Router Advertisement?

    Sorry, but I'm pretty noob with IPv6.

    No different than IPv4.

    Pick an address in one of those blocks, set it as the LAN IPv6 address, no need for a gateway (e.g. 2001:2060:4f:d::1/64).
    Enable DHCPv6 and put in a range of addresses inside the range for the LAN IPv6 subnet (e.g. 2001:2060:4f:d:FFFF:0000 - 2001:2060:4f:d:FFFF:FFFF)
    Enable router advertisements in whatever mode you want. If you use Assisted it will do both DHCPv6 and allow clients to use SLAAC

    Okey, they now get IPv6 addresses. IPv6 traffic from LAN does not get out however.

    Do you have rules to pass out IPv6 from the local interface(s)? Can the local devices ping their gateway? What about the gateway one hop up from pfSense? (the pfSense WAN gateway)

    I think that I have the rules to pass out the IPv6.
    [Attachment named, Firewall_rules.JPG]

    Local devices cannot ping their gateway nor the WAN gateway.
    [Attachment named, cannot_ping_new.JPG]
    I corrected it.

    Are these correct?

    In cannot_ping.jpg you appear to be mistakenly using ping, not ping6.

    Yeah, I have. I was tired when making that probably, but the problem still is there.

    The screenshot shows the LAN IP address ending in ::1 but the ping test was going to ::3, which is correct?

    Which screenshot?

    The LAN IP address on pfSense does not end in ::1, but rather ::3 which is the thing I'm trying to ping.
    IPv6 gateway ends in ::1 which is unreacheable from the local devices.

    The ping does work to pfSense.

    Way back at the beginning you said…

    Allocated blocks:
    2001:2060:4f:c::1/64 (In use.)

    2001:2060:4f:d::1/64
    2001:2060:4f:e::1/64
    (These two for pfSense.)

    You haven't mentioned anything about the 2001:2060:4f:c::/64 block, but from the discussions, it looks like whatever is routing traffic to 2001:2060:4f:d::/64 isn't routing 2001:2060:4f:e::/64 to 2001:2060:4f:d::1.

    Without that, its never going to work.

    I haven't mentioned about the 2001:2060:4f:c::/64 block as it's irrelevant for this discussion. It has absolutely nothing to do with pfSense configuration. I don't even know why I mentioned it in the first place. So the problem basically is on the ISP/Provider side or what should I do? Add a route in pfSense from 2001:2060:4f:d::/64 to 2001:2060:4f:e::/64?

    Ok, but how does the traffic get from the Internet to 2001:2060:4f:d::/64 and 2001:2060:4f:e::/64 ?

    If I traceroute this from outside, it stops at 2001:2060:4f::2
    So somehow there is filtering or a routing missing at 2001:2060:4f::2 to get it any further.

    Here are the screenshots requested in the attachments. You should be able to identify each file by file name.

    What do you mean by "but how does the traffic get from the Internet to 2001:2060:4f:d::/64 and 2001:2060:4f:e::/64"? I don't understand your point here.

    The one at  2001:2060:4f::2 is not over my control as you can see from the reverse. (turku-ipv6-gw.woima.eu (2001:2060:4f::2))

    2001:2060:4f:e::1 => Provider's GW. (Working on getting it fixed so it's the pfSense LAN address.)
    2001:2060:4f:e::3 => That's the pfSense's LAN interface, pings are not allowed that are originating from WAN interface.

    Please use ICMP or TCP, but not UDP when trying to traceroute, might work better.

    I have talked to my provider today, they will work on it.

    You should be able to make LAN as 2001:2060:f4:e::1/64, all the 2001:2060:f4:e: numbers should be yours.
    [The last 64 bits are required reserved for any host on the LAN, SLAAC or DHCPv6 or Static.]

    Your gateway for the LAN is obviously 2001:2060:f4:d::1/64
    Look in System: (routing) Gateways for your correct route.

    For Static on hosts use RA + Router Only
    For DHCP6-Server (range in last 64 bits) use RA + Managed (be sure to NOT check bogon networks on Interfaces:LAN)
    For SLAAC from hosts use RA + Unmanaged

    [N.B. subnets are important to differentiate, so :d::/64 is for your WAN and :e::/64 is for your LAN.]

    Everything works now. Ports are reacheable though IPv6.

    Final routes can be found from the attachments.

    You may do an traceroute6 to mail.sami-mantysaari.com to check. :)
