Does anyone know what the correct IPv6 settings are on 2degrees' new vocus fibre network? I've just re-joined 2degrees after moving house and I can't get IPV6 to work.


For the WAN's IPv4 configuration: I set it to DHCP and VLAN 10, and that works just fine (which I think means I'm on their new vocus network).


For the WAN's IPv6 configuration: I applied the following settings because they worked at my last house/on 2degrees' old network--



  • DHCPv6

  • Use IPv4 connectivity as parent interface

  • Request only an IPv6 prefix

  • Prefix delegation size /56

  • Do not wait for a RA


--but I'm not getting assigned a prefix.


(In case it affects anything, I'm using pfsense 2.7 and live in Wellington/I'm on the chorus network)

Disable Prefix Only. This is one of the main things I needed to do in order to get IPv6 running.

 

It is the same settings as Orcon.

Not sure if this helps anyone else, I just got switched over to the new Vocus Fibre network and to get my IPv6 to work again on my Mikrotik router I had to :

- Disabling Prefix Only
- Allow ICMP Type 143 packets (Version 2 Multicast Listener Report) - still trying to figure out why

In the event that someone finds this thread and is wanting to configure a Mikrotik router for 2degrees or others, DHCPv6 client settings as follows:

 

/ipv6 dhcp-client
add add-default-route=yes interface=pppoe-out1 pool-name=delegation pool-prefix-length=56 request=address,prefix
