Hi community,
I would like to configure my Sophos firewall with IPv6 WAN and LAN.
My ISP has provided me with the addresses for this, and I have had a go at getting this to work but with no luck so wondering if someone can help me please.
I am using SFOS 20.0.0 GA-Build222.
Here is the message from my ISP on what they have provided...
- DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation - This is our preferred method that customers use to get their prefix. Your router will need to request the delegated prefix and then assign it to your LAN interface(s). DNS is provided through this method.
- Static configuration - If a customer’s router does not request a DHCPv6-PD assignment a static route for the /56 assignment will be installed on the connected Broadband Gateway. This enables customers to statically configure the assigned prefix in whatever manner they want.
We also assign a /64 address that if chosen to be used will be assigned to the router’s "WAN" interface. This /64 assignment is handed out through SLAAC from the connected Broadband Gateway. IPv6 doesn't require intermediate hops to have a global address as routing can occur on only a link-local address but for things like traceroute this can sometimes not be ideal. This assignment is handed out purely so that if used the customer will have end to end GUA addresses.
They have then listed a /56 and /64 subnets that are assigned to me.
