[SOLVED] IPv6 with Telekom not working after upgrade

[computeralex92]

Hello,

after updating to 23.1.r1 the IPv6 setup with Telekom Deutschland is not working anymore.
I saw there a issue on Github https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/6245 regarding the change to the new interface type 'PPPoEv6', but this change is not working for me.
When checking the interfaces for any hint, I saw this here:

Code: [Select]

inet6 fe80::227c:14ff:fea0:644e%pppoe0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x9
The prefix lenght is configured to 64, but for Telekom you normally need to request a /56 subnet.
As there is no configuration for this anymore (or I didn't found it), I think that cause the issue.

Thanks,
Alex

Hey Alex,

What was your IPv6 setting for WAN and LAN on 22.7?

There is that one fix required for PPPoEv6 mode which will be in RC2 or applied manually as per ticket information you provided above.


Cheers,

Perhaps to add vital information: if you have WAN DHCPv6 and LAN tracking with a valid delegated prefix you don't need to do anything upgrading to 23.1 (other than doing the upgrade of course).

PPPoEv6 is a side effect of the PPPoE connection and in the issue above it was used to connect the WAN to IPv6 at the provider, but the provider gave the user a static block which he used in his LAN (static IPv6).


Cheers,
Franco

Hello Franco,

my settings were on 22.7 as follow:
WAN:
IPv4: PPPoE
IPv6: DHCPv6
For IPv6 was a /56 Prefix delegation size and a request via the IPv4 connection configured.

LAN:
IPv4: Static IP
IPv6: Track interface

This configuration is also not working anymore on 23.1; DHCPv6 server is not starting and the interface is not getting any IPv6 address from the PPPoE connection.
Also the ifconfig shows the same /64 prefixlen as with PPPoEv6 configuration.

Thanks,
Alex

It should stay the same if it worked to be honest and it did so on my end. I use this on Telekom almost every day... Can you add some logs to the case?


Thanks,
Franco

[computeralex92]

Which log-files are the most useful?

[computeralex92]

OK, I just saved and applied a little change in the interface config, and now the apply runs for forever.
When checking the system.log, I found this:

I think this lines are interesting:

Code: [Select]

dhcp6c 13927 - [meta sequenceId="72"] transmit failed: Can't assign requested address

Code: [Select]

dhcp6c 13927 - [meta sequenceId="91"] transmit failed: Network is down
For me it seems that something is blocking dhcp6c to run currectly or assign the IPv6-address it gets from Telekom.

This is a little suspicious

> ROUTING: treating '62.155.242.170' as far gateway for '79.234.201.75/32'

Is this a business line with an Internet facing IP?

Perhaps the gateway monitoring is too eager. Is this multi WAN? If not does it help to disable gateway monitors for a bit?

Hello Franco,

thank you for your reply.
For me the line looks good, it is "only" the gateway assignment for the PPPoE interface.
My setup is a "little" complex, but I try to explain it shotly:

2x WAN Connection
1x PPPoE (Telekom VDSL via Draytek Vigor165)
1x DHCP (Vodafone Cable via Vodafone Gigastation in Bridge-Mode)

The Vodafone have an additional IP configured to have access to the webinterface of the Gigastation.
The network interface for the PPPoE connection is configured with a static IP to be able to connect to the Draytek modem.

I disabled both the Vodafone and Telekom Static interface + the complete gateway monitoring, without any change.
Here is the interface config via ifconfig:

I will search further today after work; maybe I see something strange in the logs or configs.

Thanks,

Hello,

I use the same configuration with Telekom VDSL.
Prior to the upgrade I had the same settings.
After the upgrade to 23.1 my IPv6 connection and tracking also broke down.

I could fix it by reversing
https://github.com/opnsense/core/commit/3413a5c67a4ce79cce580856df4fdd3e625c369c

It seems to me that the combination of DHCPv6 and PPPoEv6 is not supported together anymore or at least with Telekom both need to be enabled to retrieve an IPv6 prefix?

Thx,
Max

Hi Max,

Thanks for taking a closer look. The following should restore the previous behaviour without removing the exclusive PPPoEv6 mode:

https://github.com/opnsense/core/commit/f60333622aa6

# opnsense-patch f60333622aa6

It seems very unfortunate to me, but I will keep working on this in some form to stop separate IPv6 modes from competing with each other which could be the source of undefined and unreliable IPv6 behaviour (at least as far as PPPoE is concerned).


Cheers,
Franco

Hello Max & Franco,

thanks a lot to look deeper into this topic.
I can confirm that the patch from Franco is fixing the issue for me; my IPv6 is back.

@Franco: If you need further details or a guinea pig for future tests in this topic, feel free to ping me.

For now, I will close this topic.
Thanks again for your help.

Alex

Yay, happy to hear. Patch is on stable/23.1 now so will be in 23.1 for sure.


Cheers,
Franco

Hi there,

this may be a foolish question, but I have the same issue but don't actually know how to implement this patch found under github.
I am really new to OPNsense and did the initial configuration for my WAN-interface.
Since I triple-checked everything and it still does not work, I guess I am a victim of this mentioned issue.
But how do I resolve it?
Is there any file I have to update as written in the commit?

- ISP is Deutsche Telekom
- Gateway is added automatically due to the DHCPv6-Setting.
- No static routes are set so far - are they mandatory?



Since I am not able to get an internet-connection, I am kind of stuck how to update... 

[franco]

But IPv4 is still available... set prefer IPv4 in System: Settings: General...


Cheers,
Franco
