Hi,

I'm a recent QUIC Broadband customer, and I really like the service. I am currently having an issue getting an IPv6 prefix from the QUIC DHCPv6-PD server though, so I thought I asked geekzone for some help.

I use a Mikrotik RB760iGS router running RouterOS 7.10.2, and have a working PPPoE connection that grabs an IPv4 address fine. But I can't get the DHCPv6 client to grab an IPv6 prefix from the DHCP-v6 QUIC servers.

This are my current settings:

/ipv6 dhcp-client
add add-default-route=no dhcp-options="" dhcp-options="" disabled=no interface=pppoe-out1 pool-name=ppp-test pool-prefix-length=56 prefix-hint=::/0 rapid-commit=no request=prefix use-peer-dns=yes

This command only requests a prefix (no address nor info) and I've also tried it with all the various other options turned on or off systematically trying all combinations, yet I can't get it to work. The QUIC setup instructions don't really give much help other than saying "If you’re wanting to use IPv6, a /56 prefix is delivered to you by DHCPv6-PD."

Have any other Mikrotik QUIC Broadband users done this already? If so, do you have any tips? Is there anything else that I'm missing?

Thanks

Terry

I dont know if it will help, however, here are my settings for IPv6 with 2degrees. Obviously there are some obvious differences you can ignore (vlan10 vs pppoe), however there are a couple of small differences that might help you...

Make sure IPv6 is enabled on the router:

/ipv6 settings
set accept-router-advertisements=yes

Request the prefix (you have this but mine has some subtle differences)

/ipv6 dhcp-client
add add-default-route=yes interface=vlan10 pool-name=2degrees \
pool-prefix-length=56 request=address,prefix

And to assign an IP address to the router (bridge):

/ipv6 address
add address=::1 from-pool=2degrees interface=bridge

It seems to be working for me on a Mikrotik. This is my config, which assigns a /64 to each of my vlans from the /56 provided by Quic. Interface is the one you defined for your pppoe.

/ipv6 dhcp-client add add-default-route=yes interface=quic pool-name=quicv6_pool prefix-hint=::/64 request=prefix

/ipv6 address

add from-pool=quicv6_pool interface=VLAN_HOME

add from-pool=quicv6_pool interface=VLAN_IOT

add from-pool=quicv6_pool interface=VLAN_GUEST

It worked! The secret was both accepting the router advertisements (thanks @nzkc):

/ipv6 settings
set accept-router-advertisements=yes

and adding the ipv6 address to each VLAN (thanks @Yesod):

/ipv6 address
add from-pool=quic-ipv6-pool interface=vlan93

I also had to set the DHCPv6 client to only get the prefix (not get the address as well) and then it all worked!

/ipv6 dhcp-client
add add-default-route=yes interface=pppoe-out1 pool-name=quic-ipv6-pool pool-prefix-length=56 rapid-commit=no request=prefix use-peer-dns=yes

Thanks everyone.
