IPv6 Roll Out

Prefix Delegation. It's a /60 for Openserve. Do you have any aditional settings for IPv6 under the wan settings?

Nope that’s it but let me try. (I guess the non-app interface might have more. Will take a look when back at a desktop).

Maybe a silly question but do you have to make use of IPv6 on your LAN to make it work?

IPv6 being NATless and all that my logic says it would need to be IPv6 end to end or is that just if you want the full blown experience without Teredo tunnels etc.

We have native ipv6 so no tunneling.

Your router will allocate IPv6 IPs to your end devices and protect them with a built-in firewall. Depending on the router the firewall can be either on or off for all or allow certain protocols and ports to be allowed through or blocked. For example, the Huawei we supply has a global on and off for the firewall.

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.

The thing is, not all your customers are "everyday consumers". Some, like me will have multiple vlans set up at home. Unfortunately, you wouldn't know which customers these are. I suspect vumatels current setup will allow for these customers to also get what they need. I guess, the only solution really would be, for vumatel to allow you to give custom prefixes to customers, kinda like a static ip except in this case it would be a larger prefix.
 
I'm having a weird issue - running on Metrofibre and Mikrotik

So everything seems to *mostly work however I can't seem to get any ICMPv6 packets through -

Mikrotik Config (rip export lol) :

I currently have it set to not add a default route, and to only use RA - however the behavior is similar regardless.
I have also tested different configs without firewall - also not getting any difference.


Any help appreciated :)

Show a traceroute out. From what I can tell, your prefix is not advertised to the ipv6 internet.

For example, trace from my side, different isp:
Code: 
 ~ % mtr 2c0f:fc40:1043:b154::1 --report-wide --show-ips --aslookup
Start: 2024-04-12T15:12:12+0200
HOST: bcd0745311cf                                                         Loss%   Snt   Last   Avg  Best  Wrst StDev
  1. AS327849 2c0f-f2a0-2058-3--.rev.rocketnet.space (2c0f:f2a0:2058:3::)   0.0%    10    2.5   3.5   2.1  11.0   2.7
  2. AS327849 2c0f-f2a0-2-1--165.rev.rocketnet.space (2c0f:f2a0:2:1::165)   0.0%    10    4.0   4.1   3.8   4.3   0.1
  3. AS327849 2c0f-f2a0-2-1--161.rev.rocketnet.space (2c0f:f2a0:2:1::161)   0.0%    10    3.9   5.1   3.7  15.8   3.8
  4. AS???    ???                                                          100.0    10    0.0   0.0   0.0   0.0   0.0

According to that trace, if you only use ipv6, you would have no internet connectivity at all. Afrihost probably need to update all their ipv6 upstreams to accept the new prefix they use.
 
Not getting past the first hop:


Code: 
~$ mtr cloudflare.com --report-wide --show-ips --aslookup
Start: 2024-04-12T14:17:09+0000
HOST: eniac                           Loss%   Snt   Last   Avg  Best  Wrst StDev
  1. AS37611  2c0f:f4c0:1043:b154::1   0.0%    10    0.8   1.1   0.8   1.2   0.1
  2. AS???    ???                     100.0    10    0.0   0.0   0.0   0.0   0.0
 
Just a question, is it possible to get IPv6 on FrogFoot.
If so is It native and not tunnelling
Should that be a yes, would it be possible to get a static IPv6 and if so what would the cost of a static IPv6 be?

Hi.

Yes, IPv6 is enabled for Frogfoot.
Native no tunnelling.
Dynamic prefix on DHCP and PPPoE (we should be able to offer it in the future for PPPoE; it is in the pipeline). Unfortunately, we do not have static prefixes just yet.

I've had IPv6 working on my Mikrotik router on Afrihost/Openserve fibre line for a while now. Here's my tips:

1) Make sure IPv6 is enabled - In Winbox go to IPv6 -> Settings. Make sure "Disable IPv6" is unchecked. "IPv6 Forward" should be checked. Accept Redirects -> yes if forwarding disabled, Accept Router Advertisements -> yes if forwarding disabled

2) Restart your Mikrotik if IPv6 was previously disabled and you've just reenabled it in 1 above. For some reason a restart is sometimes required if IPv6 is reenabled

3) Go to IPv6 -> DHCP Client. Delete any previously configured clients. Add a new DHCPv6 client with the following settings:

Interface: Select the PPPOE interface that you're using to connect to Afrihost
Request: info - unchecked, address - unchecked, prefix - checked
Pool Name: AfrihostIPv6Pool (or whatever you want to call it)
Pool Prefix Length: 64
Prefix Hint: "::/60" (without the quotes)
Use Peer DNS - I prefer unchecked but you may want to check this
Use Interface DUID - unchecked
Rapid Commit - unchecked
Add Default Route - checked

Click Ok and the client should then connect and get a prefix starting with "2c0f".

Now you have to tell Mikrotik to use the pool to assign addresses to your network. In Winbox go to IPv6 -> Addresses. Click on the plus button to add a new address. In the new address form fill in the following:

Address - ::/64
From Pool - Select the pool you created above - AfrihostIPv6Pool
Interface - select the interface that your internal LAN runs on
EUI64 - unchecked
Advertise - checked
No DAD - unchecked

Click add and the LAN interface of your interface on Mikrotik will now be allocated a subprefix and will start advertising addresses to clients.

Repeat the above if you have other interfaces like for IOT, cameras, etc.

@grant_cpt please check this but you will be setting up for EtheWAN instead of PPPoE
prefix length is /62 for frogfoot.
 
Still zero joy configuring this on my UniFi Dream Machine even though I'm pretty sure it was working right in the beginning when Afrihost first introduced it for us to test.

Openserve + Afrihost

Which FNO are you with?
 
SauRoNZA said:
FNO = Openserve as I stated there.

Scrolled up again and see it's meant to be 60 not 64 but still not having any joy but today is the day I crack this while I have some time.

Still having no luck @Afrigirl.

It's same to assume this isn't some account related problem and is active for everyone on Afrihost right?

Yes, Ipv6 is active for all Openserve clients.
Please share a screenshot of your settings, I will check if we can get someone with UniFi Dream Machine to test for us.
