Are 2degress able to do static IPv6 allocations yet (via DHCPv6 PD) for connections via their Vocus network on UFB?

 

When ours was set up in November last year, a static IPv6 allocation was not possible (I pushed quite hard to get an answer about this and did get one in writing eventually), although a static IPv4 address which we are paying for, was no problem.  It was possible with other variants of their network but not when brought in via the Vocus infrastructure.

 

I hope that 12 months on this might now be an option.  Dynamic IPv6 PDs internally is fine for phones/laptops, but makes managing infrastructure quite difficult when the /56 prefix keeps changing.

 

Interested to hear if anyone else has been able to get this to happen recently.

I've never had my /56 prefix change in all the time I have been with 2degrees (since the Snap days). I do have a static IPv4 and I'm unsure if that means I effectively get a static /56 too.

Presumably you are on the Snap network not the Vocus network.

 

On the new Vocus network for me at least it changes all the time.  To verify this, I just did a router reload and I've got a whole new PD now.

Nope. I've been migrated.

Great.  Thanks, I will hit them up again with a support ticket, and hopefully now they can make it static.

Hi, purchased Static IPs now come with an IPV6 address as well.  This wasn't done for historic IPV4 so I'll reach out to @reubenfarrelly so we can add it.  I'm not sure why they weren't applied to existing static IPs when launched.

 

Regards,
Chris

Thanks heaps to @chrisvp for sorting this out.  Static IPv6 /56 now applied to the service and working well.
