IPv6 Roll Out

deweyzeph said:
Yes, I've got Openserve/Afrihost and my Mikrotik works perfectly with IPv6. Assuming you're the same, make sure that:

info = unchecked
address = unchecked
prefix = checked
Pool Prefix Length = 64
Prefix Hint = ::/60
Add Default Route = checked

I'm on Frogfoot

Implemented the above and the computer still says no. I suspect IPv6 isn't enabled on Frogfoot

IPv6 is enabled on our network for all FNO's that support it. Only Vumatel Trenched has limited support currently but it's being rolled out.

What version are you using? I do believe there is an OS version that has IPv6 issues

could just try disconnecting and reconnecting your PPPoE account

Don't have PPPoE connection. It's DHCP directly from WAN (Frogfoot)

What version of RouterOS is your MikroTik running - is what the man asked.

Edit:

Might help to include the MikroTik device you are using.

So all recent, not on Afrihost, yet, so cannot help, but should help others.

Edit:

They are putting in fiber soon, and have a hAP AX2 ... , so am preparing myself for the big day it arrives, and I can get service from Afrihost.

My IPv6 was working and then suddenly stopped. I made a support query but I think I may have given the support staff a bit of an information overload and so they have not responded. After changing every setting imaginable, I got it working again. (Or support did something without me knowing about it)

I am on openserve and I have a TP-Link AX55 (AX3000) on 1.2.3 Build 20230603 rel.46473(4555). I am just posting this here as a sanity check, and maybe to help some others.

Under the IPv6 Tab:

IPv6 Internet:
IPv6: Enabled
Internet Connection Type: PPPoE
Share the same PPPoE session with IPv4: ON
Advanced settings
Get IPv6 Address: Non-Address <------------- This is important
Prefix Delegation: Enable
DNS Address: Get Dynamically from ISP <--- I am sure you can set these I just left it for now

IPv6 LAN
Assigned Type: DHCPv6
Address Prefix: <Cannot change this>

On the IPv6 LAN SLAAC+RDNSS also works but I'm not really sure if it should actually work or what the implications really are. I have heard that DHCPv6 is the way to go on openserve. But, only for LAN. If you select DHCPv6 for internet then things go very much broken, so keep it set on Non-Address

I don't know what Non-Address is or why it works. The internet is a bit sparse on details, but I hope it helps someone out there!

Will do, as soon as I get fiber here, which is hopefully sooner, rather than later.

Tho watching the Afrihost Fiber thread, and all the outages, I wonder just a little bit, whether I should stay on RAIN 5G.

As with anything, "outages" will quickly move the thread along. I've been with Afrihost since a 2Mbps ADSL line at my parents place and every issue has been solved PDQ. Had one issue since moving to Parow and it was an Openserve fault that was cleared by the time my wife woke up to get ready for work.

Would be interesting though to see a thread with just daily updates saying "working fine" for everyone.haha

Like I said, I wonder "just a little bit " but I need the stability of a fiber line, my RAIN 5G has never died, but it has taken dome rough dips, six of one and a half dozen of the other. Then just to make life interesting we have Government and Eskom loadshedding ...

True. We're on Openserve and even during loadshedding we're online. We have a 3 pack of Decos with just the main node and ONT on a Gizzu for laodshedding. No issues, my sister in Goodwood however. A threat of loadshedding and Vuma kicks the bucket. Guess it depends on your location and who the last mile provider is sometimes even more so than who the ISP is....
