IPv6 on WAN

xeonic
Recently my ISP started to support IPv6 natively, they are handing out a /56 subnet via DHCPv6. My ISP provided router is currently working with IPv6 but I can't seem to get my UTM to grab an IPv6 address. 

I enabled IPv6 in 'Interfaces & Routing' and I have my WAN interface (eth0) set to both IPv4 and IPv6 default GW plus dynamic IP. 

Is there anything else I need to do?

I noticed that in the 'system messages' log, there are only entries for WAN IPv4 DHCP requests, there is nothing related to IPv6.

Thanks!

    Hi, Robro, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    Are you certain that your router supports IPv6?  You might have a better chance if you set the router to bridge mode.  Any luck with that?

    Cheers - Bob

    Hi Bob,


    sorry for the late response. i tried the same with the new sophos xg firewall and with this firewall it works. with utm9 it doesn't. it seems to be a problem with dhcpv6 and utm9. but my favourite fw is utm9, so i have to accept this behaviour.

    yes, my router supports ipv6. ipv4 is only for internal use. all traffic to the internet goes over ipv6. it is called a ipv4 dsl lite tunnel over ipv6.


    thanks


    Robert
