IPv6 DHCP-PD Support

ToddMiller

There hasn't been a lot of talk in the roadmap discussion about the implementation of IPv6 DHCP-PD support on the XG platform.  Can we expect to see that at some point in the near future?

    Hi Todd,

    Good question. There is no specific immediate plans, as we already support DHCP v6.  

    Thanks

    there are countless requests for dhcp -pd.. Most business class ISP  (Timewarner, Comcast) use DHCP-pd to hand out v6 addresses so you not supporting that feature means we can not use native v6 . this was a feature of utm9 so why not migrate it over? the way v6 is implemented now makes it as useful as a sack of shit.

    I would consider the ability to obtain IP addressing basic functionality, but what do I know.  As mentioned, DHCP-PD client is in UTM, even if it can't send a "hint" to request more than a /64.

    Anyway, the XG workaround I'm doing is to have a router (MikroTik) get the IPv6 addressing (DHCP-PD) and then place XG immediately behind it, in bridge mode.  This will give you the essential functions of Web Filter, Application Filter, IPS, etc. for both IPv4 and IPv6.
