Are multiple PDs (IPv6 /64s) possible?
-
Rogers has started handing out IPv6 via DHCP. I'm getting a /128 for the WAN and a /64 for my primary LAN and it works fine. However, attempts to get a /62, /60, etc, etc. all fail. I'm looking for a /64 for my second LAN.
I'm told that Rogers will only provide /64s, but it may be possible to obtain more than one.
Is this possible with pfSense? Any hints, help, or suggestions?
Thanks!

You'll need an additional NIC plugged into your cable modem in that case, as it'll have to issue a DHCP6 request from another interface. You're probably limited to a single IPv4 IP, so need to set the second to IPv4 "none".

Would that even work? I was under the impression that the DUID for DHCPv6 should be the same for a whole system, regardless of what interface is used to make the request. If the same DUID is presented on a different interface, wouldn't it just receive the same address/prefix and change the ISP's routing to go to the new interface instead?
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3315#page-19
The DUID is
designed to be unique across all DHCP clients and servers, and stable
for any specific client or server - that is, the DUID used by a
client or server SHOULD NOT change over time if at all possible; for
example, a device's DUID should not change as a result of a change in
the device's network hardware. -
Ah, yeah you might be right. It depends on the behavior of the provider in that case. It's worth a shot, but take care since it might well break everything. :)

Thanks for the info – much appreciated!
