Hi @AfriNatic. How far is Afrihost from this being rolled out? I'm still getting the old 2c0f:f4c0:: /64 prefix

Question of the Day: Which is the most hair-raising South African mountain pass you've driven?
IPv6 Roll Out
- Thread starter AfriNatic
- Start date
So for Vumatel active ethernet we now allocate a /56 but for gpon we still do a /62
If you have Vumatel active ethernet with an Object number I can now allocate a dynamic or static /56 pd and ia_na

Turned it on but no dice on my end. Followed this guide : https://help.afrihost.com/entry/how-to-enable-a-dhcp-ipv6-on-the-tp-link-deco
Code:
DHCPv6 message arrived while DHCPv6 server is disabled
message arrived while RTADVD is disabledYes it is. If you are using the Huawei just enable DHCPv6

Whoop whoop but should it not be /56 since it’s Vuma trenched?
All ipv6 tests fail though.
Edit : Something changed over the last few hours. ISP listed as African Network Information Center - ( AfriNIC Ltd.

That looks fine. Everything is reachable. Seems your browser is preferring IPv4 over v6 for some reason. Maybe a setting?
With regards to the prefix length. It's one of the issues we raised when we were in discussion with the FNO. Most consumer-branded routers only pick and use a single /64 from the allocated prefix anyway so allocating a /56 to consumers means that 255 x /64 will never ever be used. It's the same type of thinking that caused IPv4 to get exhausted really.
That said you need a more advanced router to set vlans and make use of the /56 na and pd prefixes you are allocated. Consumer-based routers including the Huawei we supply currently won't use more than a /64.

This is another ISP, but IPv6 on a mikrotik.

Is it possible on Openserve yet?
I know I tried before but maybe something changed on your end.
Or what should the config be for Openserve now?

Upgraded my line speed for a bit and seems to have lost it.

Same problem, also on a UniFi setup.
Hi
It still shows active on the portal and shows the router mac which means the router accepted the prefix issued. Can you check again?
Yes it is. It's a dynamic prefix via DHCPv6. Please make sure to enable DHCPv6 and DHCPv6 via PD.
A great example of how handy and nice IPv6 can be but not used by everyday consumers. If I can use my relatives as an example. They only know if the wifi is working or not working so for them they just need a working internet connection and so doing a /62 for them via dhcpv6 is ideal. It should just work.

PD?
What should the delegation be? UniFi forces you to enter it.
Prefix Delegation. It's a /60 for Openserve. Do you have any aditional settings for IPv6 under the wan settings?
