IPv6 Roll Out

HOWTO: Openserve + Unifi IPv6

Step 1.
Networks -> WAN -> Edit:
Connection type: Using DHCPv6
Prefix Delegation Size: 60

Step 2.
Networks -> LAN -> Edit:
Configure IPv6 network:
Interface type: Prefix delegation
Prefix ID: <blank>
RA: Enabled

Then SSH into the USG and:
configure
set interfaces ethernet eth0 dhcpv6-pd prefix-only

Can someone else with a USG try the above and check system load? Looks like a config mismatch. dhcpv6-pd-respo is EATING CPU cycles. I've disabled IPv6 until this is fixed.

Fixed it.

Ok for anybody using a ERX here is what I did to get it working
I edited the config.boot file and change the interface pppoe 0 info under eth0 to the following:

Code:
interfaces {
    ethernet eth0 {
        description internet
        duplex auto
        pppoe 0 {
            default-route auto
            dhcpv6-pd {
                pd 0 {
                    interface switch0 {
                        prefix-id :0
                        service slaac
                    }
                    prefix-length /60
                }
                rapid-commit enable
            }
            firewall {
                in {
                    ipv6-name WANv6_IN
                    name WAN_IN
                }
                local {
                    ipv6-name WANv6_LOCAL
                    name WAN_LOCAL
                }
            }
            ipv6 {
                dup-addr-detect-transmits 1
                enable {
                }
            }
            mtu 1492
            name-server auto
            password AFRIHOST_PASSWORD
            user-id AFRIHOST_USERNAME
        }
        speed auto
    }
    ethernet eth1 {
Rest of config file the same

But the test in chromes fails (not sure what the error msg is about)

Passes in Firefox

Google test in Chrome passes
chrome-google-test-pass.JPG

Whatismyip shows a IPv6 address

And if I ping ipv6.google.com it looks like the correct results are being returned

So it seems like the config above works and I'm getting a IPv6 address.
Hope this helps you guys to get it to work.

Tried different browsers. still 9/10.

DNS server:

2c0f:f4c0:2000::a
2c0f:f4c0:2000::d
 
So I have been AFK for a month (COVID is a bitch).

How do I do the IPV6 setup for my Openserve connection on my Mikrotik?

Another forumite has been very helpful and shared his setup with me. I'll share it with you as well if you don't have it already :) PM me if you want it.
 
This is bizarre. I am on IPV6 via @websquadza but when I visit the mybroadband speedtest, it shows my IPV4 address only. Not sure why that would be.
Doesn't seem to be MyBroadband's speedtest. Can't see any AAAA records for speedtest.mybroadband.co.za or speedtest.co.za. @bwana (let me know if I've got the wrong person) and @NAPAfrica, it would be awesome to see IPv6 support for these two speedtest platforms.
