Hello guys!

I've recently acquired an UDM-PRO with 1x Unifi AP AC PRO and Unifi 8 Port Gigabit Desktop POE switch. They work great! The UDM-PRO dashboard is great!

However, when I enable DHCPv6 on my network and start browsing the internet on IPV6, things start getting slow. Other users in my household complaint about internet performance. When I disable IPV6, everything goes back to normal.

Was wondering if I need to do anything specific? As this is the first time I'm using IPV6?

Thanks!
Lucas

You're likely hitting the IPv6 bug with some providers (if you don't have prefix-only set in your configuration then it maxes out the CPU of Ubiquiti routers unless if the following conditions are set)

How you essentially do it for Vocus-based providers:

1) Ensure you're using IPoE (DHCP over VLAN 10):

2) Under your LAN settings - enable IPv6 as so:

Leave the DNS servers blank. Also note this is using the old settings as I personally prefer it.

Thanks @michaelmurfy. I've made the modifications and have re-activated the IPv6 on my network. Will wait a couple of hours/days to test it and get back to you here.

Cheers!

Hmm.... It's happening again. It's hard to explain, but sometimes when watching a video, scrolling instagram or facebook, watching Netflix... the video will stop for a couple of seconds. It's almost like I turned off the internet and turned it back again after a couple of seconds.

It's also important to notice that this is happening not only via WIFI, but via RJ45 too.

And it all goes back to normal if I turn off IPv6 in my network.

The config looks like the following:

WAN:

LAN Network:

Any tips would be much appreciated!

one thing I absolutely loath with the dream machine is its lack of logging

Your config is exactly the same as mine, but no problems here [Orcon]

Take it youre running the current version of firmware on both router and switch?

Interesting! Yes, I also have Orcon here and yes, everything is up-to-date.

The logging is there, but you’ve got to first SSH into the dream machine then jump into the UniFi Docker container and tail the logs from there.

You haven’t got IPS/DPS enabled either?

I have Internet Threat Management and Network scanners enabled, but have disabled them just a couple of minutes ago to test if that's the issue.... let's see. I've also downloaded the log file from the dashboard, and it's showing me the following:

come to think of it.. I have to reboot my USW pro switch every once and a while to get ipv6 working again for some strange reason.. [just noticed my ipv6 badge gone from geekzone] rebooting the udm nor renewing ip's work for me.. have to reboot the switch.. different to your issue but maybe do some digging on your switch if you figured out your issue already?

I got this kit to play around with but will be moving back to my old setup after the alert levels have changed, to much fluffing around with ubiquiti

Thanks for your suggestion, but I don't think it applies to me, because I'm facing the issue from both my PC (using the switch) and mobile phone (AC-Pro directly connected to UDM-PRO).

I have, however, rebooted everything and will see how it goes. At the moment I still face the issue a couple times a day.

Update:

The issue is still happening, even with the IDS disabled. Disabling IPv6 fixes it. :(

So, I disabled earlier this afternoon the DPS feature and everything broke. I had no internet. I thought I was to blame but then I saw this. LOL

Update: looks like it's doing much much better now with DPS disabled. Interesting! I'll try to re-enable the Threat management feature and see how it goes. Will update you guys here during the weekend.

@michaelmurfy what’s this IPv6 bug you’ve mentioned above? Is there anything that can be done? With my AmpliFi HD system on Slingshot, my normal wired speeds are about 930/520. Turning on IPv6 I get about 270/210. Wireless speeds drop significantly as well. Turning it off it goes back to normal.

No biggie, just not sure why or how enabling IPV6 causes such a huge drop.

The IPv6 bug is caused on Ubiquiti devices where an ISP uses a specific IPv6 configuration that causes the Dream Machine / USG to go 100% CPU. It has existed forever, and has never been fixed. I believe there is a block of configuration you can add into the configuration.json file.

See here for the USG bug: https://community.ui.com/questions/High-load-on-USG-after-enabling-IPv6/964b80ce-325a-4cfa-b25a-cbecd4afcfaf

I'm not sure about the Dream Machine but seems to be the same bug once again.

Hmm... my UDM-PRO CPU utilization is fine.... around 20%. I'm still testing the internet with DPS and Threat management disabled...

Update: Looks like disabling DPI and the Threat management (IPS) feature fixed the issue... interesting!

I have enabled IDS and will test that in the next few days.
