  • 1.  Configuring IPv6 RA

    Posted 09-03-2009 07:25

    So I am reading the manual, Vol 14, Chap 2 on 'Configuring an IPv6 router'.

     

    I have RADVD in  Centos 5 running, and I want to replace that with the SSG5.  So I have some understanding on setting up the RA service....

     

    So here is a piece of my radvd.conf file:

     

    interface eth1.16
    {
            AdvSendAdvert on;
            MinRtrAdvInterval 3;
            MaxRtrAdvInterval 10;
            prefix 2607:f4b8:3:9::/64
            {
                    AdvOnLink off;
                    AdvAutonomous on;
                    AdvRouterAddr on;
                    AdvPreferredLifetime 20;
                    AdvValidLifetime 30;
            };
            route ::/0
            {
            };
    };

     

    I went to  Network > Interfaces > IPv6 and selected 'router' and supplied a unicast address for the interface:

     

    2607:f4b8:3:9:9254:5400:0:131

     

    This created a 'default' entry in the 'Prefix list'  option.

     

    But I am sitting with Wireshark on the  subnet, and NOT seeing any RA packets.

     

    So what else is needed?

     

    Anyone here doing IPv6 and have their own /48 allocation?

    I have been reading and rereading this chapter and testing on one of my networks.  I finally found the key and it was too simple....

     

    From the  Network > Interfaces > IPv6 panel, select  document.writeln(link_url(0)); ND/RA Settings option then on this panel, click "Allow RA Transmission".

     

    Now was that simple...

     

    ARGH!  There is no way to turn a DHCP server on or off from any panel I have looked at.  You can only delete everything you have and then readd it.  But at least with IPv6 RA they got it right to allow turning RAs off and on and the default is off...
