No IPv6 prefixes between 56 and 60 allowed?

Hi,

I'm successfully running a a wan interface with a DHCPv6 Config File Override that gets a /57 prefix from an upstream router and configures some internal vlan interfaces.

This works nicely.

My override file, /var/etc/dhcp6c_wan.override.conf looks like this:

Code: [Select]

interface igb3 {
  send ia-na 0; # request stateful address
  send ia-pd 0; # request prefix delegation
  request domain-name-servers;
  request domain-name;
  script "/var/etc/dhcp6c_wan_script.sh"; # we'd like some nameservers please
};
id-assoc na 0 { };
id-assoc pd 0 {
  prefix ::/57 infinity;
  prefix-interface lagg0_vlan620 {
    sla-id 20;
    sla-len 7;
  };
  prefix-interface lagg0_vlan640 {
    sla-id 40;
    sla-len 7;
  };
  prefix-interface lagg0_vlan660 {
    sla-id 60;
    sla-len 7;
  };
  prefix-interface lagg0_vlan680 {
    sla-id 80;
    sla-len 7;
  };
};
This is basically an extension from what gets created from the "Basic" mode, only I have:
1. A /57 prefix. My upstream router gets a /48 from my ISP but then will only hand out a /57 and no other. This 57 is not a chooseable option in the "Basic" interface, it goes from 56 to 60. Can this be fixed?
2. sla-ids that are more than 0xf, which is the maximum "allowed" in the "Track Interface" part of each interface's config. Can this be fixed too?

Thanks,
Ben

That's really what the advanced and config overrides are for, so well done configuring it.

The basic is just that, a simple quick basic setting that would suit most users. If we start adding all the possibilities, it's no longer basic.

Hi there,

Usually it's just a bug report that is required....

1. Should be addressed by adding all prefixes to the selection:

2. If sla-id said 0xf, it means you selected a /60. If you select a /57 now offers says 0x7f, which includes: 20, 40, 60.

Problem solved?


Cheers,

Nice one @Franco, I missed the OP's point there.

Excellent, looks like it will soon be all sorted. I will just make a bug report next time.

As you say, I had selected Basic with a prefix of /60 before I chose the Config File Override, so yes, I only got the choice of 0 to f. Selecting Basic and /56 and applying it prior to selecting Config File Override allowed me to "Enter a hexadecimal value between 0 and ff here," for the prefix id in the track interface section.

Thanks for the quick response.

@onnieoneone you can install this patch from the command line, but will also be in 181.1.5 tomorrow due to low impact:

# opnsense-patch 77bcfefd97


Thanks for this,
Franco
