IPv6 DHCP-PD Support

Wish I would have known this about 4 hours ago. Just finished setting up XG on a utm 220 to replace a virtual instance. This really sucks.

Thanks Sophos for your lack of support!!

Now to see if I can remove it from my infrastructure and start over again!

Not seen as a high priority by Sophos was the answer when raised during v17 beta.

It is truly inexplicable that we are now at the doorstep of 2018 and a feature that most major providers, at least in the US, use to hand out IPv6 addresses on both residential and business service, is totally AWOL in a next generation firewall.  I know there are workarounds and I'm using one, but really no excuse for it.

Hi Bill,

I am too, but it is not reliable. I have to reset the ISP connection in the XG if the link drops.

Hi,

I have been playing around with putting a UTM in front of the XG, works so far. Need to put the XG into bridge mode which is a major rework of static addressing.

So it’s been three and a half years since the original post - DHCP-PD still does not seem to be supported or am I missing something? Is it on the roadmap?

Hi Shred,

you have missed nothing and there does not appear to be any improvement in v18 which seems strange?

Ian

Is there any new information on this when we can expect it?

No IPv6 improvements in v18 GA compared with v17.5.9.

Sophos need to give IPv6 on the XG some love - it's been neglected for too long.

For comparison - ideas.sophos.com has DKIM signing one vote ahead of IPv6 DHCP-PD, and DKIM signing is in v18.

Here's hoping IPv6 DHCP-PD is in v18.1.
