Taubin:

Again, there is NO SUPPORT FOR IPV6 on this build. Just so people are aware and don't update and then wonder why their IPV6 is broken.

I'm running 2.0 and got IPv6 working fully. Update away!

Kiwifruta:

I was running OpenWrt on an old TP-Link, then 'upgraded' to ER-L3.

Why do people rave about these? Is it because Ubiquiti routers come out of the box with more tweakable software than most consumer routers and they are fairly cheap?

Documentation relies on 2011 Vyatta docs and some forum posts, so is sorely lacking. If the documentation existed I'd be more enthused.

Because with EdgeOS you get great software on great hardware - all EdgeOS devices are capable of fully saturating a 1Gbit connection (with HWNAT turned on). Now, go out and spend $100 on a new router and flash it with OpenWRT and try and do the same thing. Answer is, highly unlikely you won't be able to saturate a Gigabit connection. Even more expensive routers that can run OpenWRT / Tomato / DD-WRT struggle with Gigabit connections. I've also had a router that has gone 2 years without a reboot also.

Even Mikrotik doesn't match the price to performace ratio currently. This is why I personally like Edgerouters and Vyatta / EdgeOS is actually incredibly nice to use for a power user.

Also updated with no issues with IPv6 on 2degrees

Just needed to disable and re-enable the network interface (ipconfig /renew didn't do the trick fully). Could see the ipv6 configured but wasn't working

My lets encrypt cert also lasted the upgrade!

Sorry guys, apparently IPv6 is working, I had read that on the forums and didn't try it myself. I should have tried before posting.

In early February I should be switched over to Fibre from VDSL with Spark.

I will be continuing to use the ERL 3.

After the technician says that he has finished what do I need to do to the ERL 3 to obtain internet access?

Look on the opening post. All the information is there.

In short, PPPoE with any username / password (except blank, but including the word "blank" if you must) with VLAN 10.

Basically, attach your PPPoE interface to VLAN 10 assuming you're using a bridge like a Draytek.

Sorry for my original post. I did initially skim the article (because it's ages since I last used it) any completely missed that fact that if you are 'bridging with a Draytek' then for VLAN 'then keep this unticked'.

I just assumed I had initially set VLAN to 10. Yes I need to set it to 10 when UFB has been installed.

Replace the usb of the router. Now have issue enableing the ipv6.

Error "unit of number must be unique" failed to commit then no internet.

Anyone could help please.

Hi. I'm having a similar problem caused when I follow the very clear and straightforward instructions in the first post. For the record, I'm using an Edgerouter 4, firmware 1.10.8. I'm on 2degrees, and my gigabit ethernet performance is fantastic with speeds of 915/560.

So, here's what I type and the response in the console:

ubnt@ubnt# set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 10 pppoe 0 ipv6 enable
[edit]
ubnt@ubnt# edit interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 10 pppoe 0 dhcpv6-pd pd 0
[edit interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 10 pppoe 0 dhcpv6-pd pd 0]
ubnt@ubnt# set prefix-length /56

ubnt@ubnt# set interface eth1 prefix-id :0
[edit interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 10 pppoe 0 dhcpv6-pd pd 0]
ubnt@ubnt# set interface eth1 service slaac
[edit interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 10 pppoe 0 dhcpv6-pd pd 0]
ubnt@ubnt# top

[ interfaces ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 dhcpv6-pd ]
Starting new daemon...

[ interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 10 pppoe 0 dhcpv6-pd ]
Starting new daemon...

Commit failed
[edit]

It makes me wonder if I didn't understand what was meant by

michaelmurfy:

NOTE: Please pay attention to the below - don't blindly copy and paste it. If you're on a VLAN you'll need to edit the commands with "vif 10" like so: "interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 10..."

Searching online, I haven't found much that helps me understand what's going on. In the config tree I can only find one entry for a pppoe Unit Number. I do see there are two connected routes on the pppoe0 interface, not sure how or why that's there and if it's related:

Any pointers?

two connected routes on the pppoe0 interface too, i havent had any luck with ipv6, pretty much give up.

Got a quick question about IPv6 on Voyager.

I have been assigned a /56 and a /64. The tutorial leads me to think I'm using the /56.

As of right now I have a Pi-Hole running on my network however I am noticing that it's not blocking ads for IPv6 domains. I believe this is because my ISP gives out IPv6 (and IPv6 DNS servers) using SLAAC.

Is there any way to disable SLAAC and hand out my own IPv6 (allowing me to configure my IPv6 DNS server alongside the IPv4 one on the ER-x)?

Thanks in advance,

Sam

@ssamjh this part of IPv6 on EdgeOS is rather broken. Just add no-dns to your interfaces and use IPv4 DNS to PiHole.
