8900AX2400 and Tunnel Broker IPv6

Post by rhysssmith »

I've been trying to get an IPv6 tunnel via tunnelbroker up and running on my new 8900AX2400, but no joy. Firmware version is 2.52.d16.

I followed the instructions on viewtopic.php?t=3747 (I know that's for a 88xx, but was hoping the settings would translate as it seems pretty similar).

Have IPv6 disabled on the PPPoE interface (I have a VDSL connection), have enabled DHCPv6 server on the LAN with router advertisements, and have added a 6in4 tunnel with the routed /64 from tunnelbroker as my 6rd prefix and the server v4 address as my border relay v4 address.

However, neither of my Macs are getting a v6 address issued to them (they have IPv6 set to configure automatically, and they worked fine on my previous router with the tunnelbroker connection set up, so don't think it's a client issue). Also, if I try to remove the 6in4 tunnel, I just get "6in4 Tunnel Remove Error -> Unable to remove."

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Reported to our engineers, (Ipv6inIpv4 not working) once I get some feedback I will post it here

Not sure why you can't remove the rule, I can remove my rule without any issues.

Attached is a new firmware that resolves the IPv6inIPv4 tunnel issues.

When setting up the tunnel make sure you set the 'V4 Common Bit Length' to 32. (tested and working here)

You can upgrade with current settings option used also. (should save some time)

Awesome - can confirm that this firmware (2.52.d17) fixes the 6in4 tunnel issue. I'm now getting v6 addresses on my lan/wan, and can do v6 things on the internet.

Many thanks for the quick fix, I'm impressed :-). Looks like deciding on the Billion router was the right choice...
