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 Chris, 

    there are improvements in V18 IPv6, while not what we were all hoping for they are steps forward.

    SSL/TLS works in IPv6, WEB exceptions now works. There are other bits I cannot remember of the top of my head.

    Hi Ian,

     

    Thanks for that info.

    My tolerance for bovine excrement is clearly lower than yours - I've generally given up in disgust at not getting it working at lower layers before getting to that point.

    No improved functionality at the PPPoE interface level, 6in4 still has the same problem I reported back on 16.5, and the NAT requirement (NAT is not a security boundary!) make me shake my head.

    When I have a spare weekend I'll re-architect my WAN side of the network, get a public /29 subnet from my ISP, lift the IPv6 config from my old Cisco 877 and put it on a spare 887 I have, then put the 887 in between my ISP and my XG Firewall, then see how the IPv6 experience goes.

    Hi Chris,

    one of the extra items that I missed is you can now have an external IPv6 interface without IP4 but this using DHCP, not PPPoE.

    I have my IPv6 working after a major restructure of my network to improve the IPv6 security/control of access for clientless devices. I gave up on VLANs and IPv6 for the moment.

    Update.

    My understanding is that Telstra uses RA to deploy the addresses, though not sure.
