Hi,

 

I thought I'd have a go at enabling ipv6 on my Mikrotik connected to Vodafone UFB.

 

When I add DHCPv6 client on VLAN 10 and request 'address' it works fine.  I get an ipv6 address assigned.

 

When I untick 'address' and tick 'prefix' I don't get anything.. status just stays on 'searching'.

 

 

 

I have a packet capture for the successful 'address' request (solicit, advertise, request, reply).

 

I also captured the unsuccessful 'prefix' request and there are 'solicit' packets going out, but no replies at all.

 

 

 

Wondering what I am doing wrong?  I have no ipv6 firewall rules (yet) so I don't think that is the problem as the 'address' request works fine.

 

Do I have to request an ipv6 prefix from Vodafone?

 

 

 

Cheers,

 

Nigel

I've got it sorted.

 

I suspected that because I had initially configured the Mikrotik DHCPv6 client to request 'address' not 'prefix' that the ISP DHCP server now had a lease for my MAC address and was refusing to hand out a prefix.

 

I tested this by temporarily changing the MAC address on my WAN interface and I received a prefix instantly.

 

I'll leave it on the temporary MAC for a couple of weeks and flick it back to default.

 

Cheers,

 

Nigel.
