freitasm: Received a reply to my query to Vodafone:

@freitasm as vodafone have since redacted that it is not available to most customers (see the Vodafone Community thread) might be worth correcting that statement from Vodafone.

to my understanding the setup is DHCP so IP (not dhcp6 over PPPoE) but no vodafone staff have confirmed this yet. 

 

Yeah I left it on connection type IP for a while just to give it a chance before also trying PPP. I get an IPv4 connection immediately in both cases, but IPv6 just won't come up (regardless of choosing SLAAC or DHCP for IPv6 addressing - tried both addressing options with both connection types.)

 

in my case sadly on IP i cant get an public IPv4 at all, getting that through to csrs is like pushing sh!t up hill.

 

 

 

i too have tried multiple paths of getting a v6 session up, i have a few dummy interfaces testing for it currently...

 

Although i never actually got a clear answer on why DHCP over VLAN 10 suddenly stopped working correctly (Port authenticaiton seemed to not be turned on), It seems that has now been fixed.

As vodafone staff have pointed out, atleast in my area their v6 allocation is not enabled, and due to the issues they have uncovered with it they are not planning on expanding the rollout until that is resolved.

On the upside, i can return to DHCP instead of PPPoE over my poor little adsl link!
