Open IPv6 Issues / questions

Hi Ben, please see my answers inline below:

Ben said:

- will the fix for issue NUTM-7187 be included with 9.5?

 [BL]: The fix for NUTM-7187 is not included in this current UTM 9.5 beta version. We are actively working on the fix right now though, so as soon as we have a confirmed fix it will be included in a subsequent release.

- is there a fix in the works for IPv6 Connections where the WAN Port is supposed to use an address out of the delegated prefix? Currently users of such ISPs do not get any IPv6 address. (for esxample KPN netherlands)

[BL]: This should be supported today, unless the ISP is doing both stateless & stateful. Is that the case for you? If so, we are fixing that as part of NUTM-7187 as well.

- what about the ability to change/edit the UID for IPv6 Delegation Requests?

[BL]: Unfortunately this isn't part of this 9.5 release.

- what about long standing feature requests such as 6tunnel integration, lets encrypt - is that on the roadmap? Users, myself included had high hopes for 9.5 but this seems to be more than a maintance release.

[BL]: Lets Encrypt is on our current roadmap, but it's mainly planned as a WAF feature. As for 6tunnel integration, it's currently not planned for any specific release.

 

thank you in advance.

 

Hi Bobby,

Normally the ISPs router will then request /48 prefix and use a /64 from that prefix for the wan interface and a /64for the lan interface. So there are no other global ipv6 addresses than the ones from that /48.

On the Sophos UTM, in my case I will only receive a link local IPv6 address via PPPoE. Using a tcpdump I have verified the UTM is not sending out a prefix request after the PPPoE has been established. Is it waiting for a advertised IPv6 address for the WAN interface first before it will do this? Because in this case it will never get it... And thus a IPv6 prefix will never be requested.

If you want to have a look at my Sophos VM, or need some tcpdumps of the PPPoE setup let me know!

You made me break my IPv6 :( :+
It was working untill I reconnected my PPPoE. A reboot didn't solve it this time, and right now deleting my IPv6 settings and re-applying them didn't solve it either. 
So.. eh, weird. Maybe more time this weekend.

i can only advice to record connects with tcpdump for later wireshark dissection, was able to find problems really fast through that. 

say your pppoe interface is eth1, 

# tcpdump -i eth1 pppoes and ip6 -v -w /home/login/eth1-pppoes-datestamp.pcap

i did that with all patches and before so i could see the changes.

edit: fixed a typo in the tcpdump, its "ip6" not "ipv6"

Somehow it also a relief that you can reproduce my problem ;)

If you just add the default route manually it should work for now:
# route add -A inet6 default gw <remote LL> dev ppp0

Regarding the issue that everything was using 2001:981:9D6E:1::1. Are you doing some NAT translation?

Hi All,

   My name is Duc Le. I am a new member of NSG.

   I've been working with Prakash on this issue for a bit of time before his vacation.

   Since I am a newbie on this issue, I just wonder if you (rklomp and SanderRutten)

   can do the followings (A):

   1) Running the system (UTM with Prakash patch) as vanilla as possible. This is to reduce noise.

       Only concentrate on IPv6 address problem. (this is only a reminder, please ignore if you already. Thanks)

   2) Capture tcpdump

   3) Capture UTM log files (ipv6 and pppoe) and other logs if you think they are needed

   4) Capture system log (dmesg)

   5) Capture these: ifconfig -a, route table info, ps -elaf

   6) Misc Info as you think needed

    I suspected there might be some sort of race condition as to sometimes you see "Installing default route"

    and sometimes not.

   That's all for now. Please let me know your comments, ideas or questions. Thanks.

Regards

Le

P.S. I prefer to be called Le. Thanks.

Hi Ben, rklomp & SanderRutten,

Thank you for your continued efforts to help us troubleshoot & test this issue.

Le is another member on our team, and he'll be taking over this issue from Prakash since Prakash went on holiday earlier this week. Prakash handed over the issue before he left, but please forgive us if Le asks for some redundant information as he gets up to speed on the issue.

If I followed the thread correctly, I think Ben's issues are completely resolved with Prakash's latest patch, but rklomp & SanderRutten still has the issue of missing default route?

Thanks again for all your time & effort in helping us improve the product!

Hi Bobby,

Thank you for taking the time to troubleshoot and help on this issue so quickly!
You are correct, for SanderRutten and me the only issue left is the missing default route.

Duc Le I am away this weekend, but will try to make some more captures next week. See my previous post for pppoe and ipv6 logs.

Thanks for the efforts!

Regards,

René

Hello Le,

I'm writing down every steps I did, just to make sure I didn't do something wrong. This will result in a long text, sorry :)

• Factory reset 9.5 beta (9.470-14)
• Performed the basic system setup
  • Changed LAN to 10.0.0.0/16, enabled DHCP
  • WAN setup, configured as DSL PPPoE
• Created 1 firewall rule: Any source using any protocol to any destination. Keep it simple for now :P
• Enabled SSH
  • Uploaded ep-ipv6-watchdog-9.40-4.gce64053.i686.rpm, and installed it (rpm -Uhv --force ep-ipv6-watchdog-9.40-4.gce64053.i686.rpm)
  • Restarted watchdog: /var/mdw/scripts/ipv6_watchdog restart
  • Reconnect PPPoE interface

Wanted to run the tcpdump before enabling IPv6, the command Ben posted gave a syntax error. Appearantly the filter option wasn't ipv6, but ip6.
tcpdump -i eth1 pppoes and ip6 -v -w /home/login/eth1-pppoes-datestamp.pcap

• Interfaces & Routing
  • IPv6: Enabled IPv6.
• Interfaces & Routing > Interfaces: Gave my LAN interface the address 2001:981:9D6E:1::1/64
• Interfaces & Routing > IPv6: Created a LAN IPv6 Prefix Advertisement.
• Interfaces & Routing > Interfaces: Enabled the option "IPv6 Default GW" for the WAN interface.
  Interface status now shows:
  External (WAN) on eth1 [80.100.129.64/32]
  MTU 1492 · DEFAULT GW 194.109.5.175 | ::

Seems that there is no IPv6 gateway, but the ipv6.log shows:
Installing default route via fe80::2a0:a50f:fc78:5530 for interface ppp0(ifidx 13)

I'm not able to ping google.com from client or UTM over IPv6.

• Reconnected my PPPoE connection

The interface status now shows:
External (WAN) on eth1 [80.100.129.64/32]
MTU 1492 · DEFAULT GW 194.109.5.175 | fe80::2a0:a50f:fc78:5530

Although it now shows my linklocal address, I'm not able to ping. At this point I stopped tcpdump and rebooted the UTM.
Started tcpdump again (eth1-pppoes-datestamp2.pcap), after the reboot.

router:/home/login # ip -6 route
2001:981:9d6e:1::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256

default via fe80::2a0:a50f:fc78:5530 dev ppp0 proto ra metric 1024 expires 1559sec hoplimit 64

Still looks the same as before. But just like a previous attempt, since the reboot I can connect to external IPv6 hosts. (As mentioned before: My clients are using the LAN's IPv6 address 2001:981:9D6E:1::1 and not their own address)

Interface & Routing > IPv6: The connectivity shows:
Native over External (WAN)
Delegated Prefix: 2001:981:9d6e::/48

I don't believe I have seen this before. Of course I forgot to check earlier.

Time to break stuff. Started tcpdump again (eth1-pppoes-datestamp3.pcap)
Reconnected my PPPoE interface, and ip -6 route output is the same as above. But I cannot ping anymore.
Rebooted the UTM again, and IPv6 is still broken. And so far I have not been able to get IPv6 up and running again since I have no clue what triggers something to get it working :)

Went back to Interface & Routing > IPv6: The connectivity still shows: Delegated Prefix: 2001:981:9d6e::/48

Summary:
IPv6 assigned by ISP: 2001:981:9D6E::/48
LAN prefix: 2001:981:9D6E:1::/64
Remote linklocal address fe80::2a0:a50f:fc78:5530 (Genexis fiber modem)

Attached are the tcpdump files and logfiles (pppoe.log, ipv6.log, boot.log, kernel.log, system.log).

Logfiles:
eth1-pppoes-datestamp.pcap = Fresh enabled IPv6, but not working
eth1-pppoes-datestamp2.pcap = IPv6 Working, capture started after a reboot
eth1-pppoes-datestamp3.pcap = IPv6 stopped working after reconnecting PPPoE

ifconfig.txt: Output of ifconfig -a. Included it only once, there was no difference (Except packets) during working or broken IPv6.
ps.txt: Output of ps -elaf when IPv6 was working.
ps_broken_ipv6.txt: Output after reconnecting PPPoE.

Hi Bobby,

my problem is completly solved, thank you again for the swift responses of you and your team :) 

there are some improvement that could be made to ipv6, lots of great suggestions on the feature request section, as i do not know how much effort you can currently put in please allow me to just name a few

- Sophos RED Server IPv6 to IPv6

- "6tunnel" integration to translate incoming WAN IPv6 to IPv4 internally (For the WAF for example)

- NatPDv6 (translate IPv6 subnets to internal IPv6 subnets via NAT)

- adjust the licence count on IPv6 Adresses. Most OSs pull more than one single IPv6 and use up the 50 IPs addresses really fast, it makes it REALLY hard to test IPv6 or use on a day to day basis without having licence alerts all the time ;)

final big question: will the XG gain from all these improvements also? Last time i tried iPv6 was completly broken on the XG in this scenario.

I think the last line in your route table shows your default route:

default via fe80::2a0:a50f:fc78:5530 dev ppp0 proto ra metric 1024 expires 1559sec hoplimit 64

So it seems it should be working for you.

There is the magic word: Should :) It should indeed work. Except it isn't :( Or at least not always, it breaks very easily. 
If I get it working again I will keep my hands of the settings for a while, and see if it keeps working. Or maybe it breaks anyway and has the reconnect/reboot no influence at all.

@SanderRutten: Thanks so much for your help and log files. I am looking at it and will update ASAP. Thanks.

@Ben: Thanks

Quick summary of findings in the SanderRutten latest logs:

1) The default route over the ppp0/eth1 is there in the route table. So it is OK for now.

My view: As IPv6 allows multiple default gateways. This is OK even though there is no RA.

TBD: Keep an eye if the default route for ppp0 is missing. This is a no-no.

2) Ping from 2001:981:9d6e:1::1 to 2a00:1450:400e:801::200e (I assumed this is the ping that you are concerned about):

i) In the very first capture, packet# 304 failed to get ping-reply   // This is changed configuration

ii) In the second capture (datestamp2), the packet#620 and packet #621 succeeds   // This is reboot

iii) In the third capture. packet#189 failed to get a reply // After reconnect PPPoE

My view: This looks quite strange since most of the stuff (system/UTM) looked OK

To Do: See (3)

3) Also, I saw in the log the following message (system log): dhclient6: send_packet6: Operation not permitted

My view: more than likely it is iptables rule. This might impact the (2) above as well

To Do: SanderRutten

a) Please dump out the iptables when it is working and when it is not working and include them in this thread.

Sorry that I forgot about the iptables stuff. I made the mistake of making the assumption that it is OK. I just want to make sure this time

b) When ping fails, can you check the stattisctis of sending and receiving on the eth1 to see they are going up

4) Rebind issue 

My view: to be deal with once 2 is out of the way

5) The ps look fines

Thanks a lot SanderRutten for your help and sorry for my mistake of overlooking the iptables stuff.

Also please let me know your ideas, comments or questions. Thanks again.

Hi Le,

Attached are the iptables rules (iptables --list) 

iptables_ipv6_disabled.txt - IPv6 completely disabled
iptables_ipv6_enabled.txt - IPv6 enabled and configured. Not working.
iptables_ipv6_reconnected.txt - Reconnected PPPoE, not working.
iptables_ipv6_reboot.txt - The magic reboot got my IPv6 up and running again.

Not much difference in each output.

Just like before, if I now recoonect my PPPoE, or even reboot, it doesn't work anymore unless I disable IPv6 for a while and reconfigure everything, and reboot.

dhclient6 the cause?
One thing I just noticed in yesterdays ipv6.log:

2017:04:22-08:42:56 router ipv6_watchdog[4280]: Started dhclient6 -P (pid 4858)
And a few minutes later:
2017:04:22-08:51:15 router ipv6_watchdog[4280]: dhclient6 (pid 4858) has died

So this made me think.. Was my connection working during that time? Did I reconnect my PPPoE connection?
Since I currently have a working IPv6 connection after the reboot, I cheched the log:

2017:04:23-10:16:58 router ipv6_watchdog[4290]: Started dhclient6 -P (pid 4851)
Reconnected PPPoE, and my IPv6 connectivity was broken again. In the log:
2017:04:23-10:39:17 router ipv6_watchdog[4290]: dhclient6 (pid 4851) has died

This could be a problem.
Can I try to start it manually? I found the binary in /var/sec/chroot-dhcpc/usr/sbin/ but -P is not a valid option?

iptables.zip

Hi SandyRutten,

    Thanks so much for your help. It is appreciated.

    You are right in that we need to deal with "dhclient6 has died" and I will look into it.

    But in the meantime, the DHCPv6 and ICMPv6 traffics seems to be dropped as you can see

    from your previous 1781.Logs.zip in the captures (first and third) that did not work, there is

    no DHCPv6 traffics captured at all; while the second capture had DHCPv6 in it and we did get a prefix

    from DHCPv6 Server. So it is more probable that it is the iptables involved.

    Sorry to say it was my mistake not to mention to dump out both IPv4 and IPv6 iptables.

    Can you do the followings:

    1) Dump out the ip6tables (both working and non-working) and attach them to this thread

    2) Clear out the ip6tables (ip6tables -F) and try ping6 again

    Thank You so much and sorry for my omission. Thanks again.

Hello,

Attached are the ip6table outputs. 
Order of the logfiles: 

ip6tables_not_working.txt - IPv6 was already in a broken state since yesterday, so not working.
ip6tables_not_working_after_flushing.txt - Not working, after ip6tables -F
ip6tables_after_reboot_working.txt - Working after a reboot.
ip6tables_reconnect_pppoe_not_working.txt - Broken again after reconnecting PPPoE manually
ip6tables_after_reboot2_not_working.txt - Still broken after a reboot.

Did a quick compare on the logs, and the ip6tables output is the same in each case, extept the one after flushing it, that one is empty :)

Still wondering why it sometimes helps to reboot, and sometimes not. I mean, if it is for example dhclient6 which crashes after reconnecting PPPoE, and doesn't get restarted anymore, I would think that *every* reboot would start dhclient6 again. But right now 1 out of .. multple reboots seems to do "fix" the connection.
But that's what we are here for :)

ip6tables.zip

Hi SanderRutten,

   Thanks and you are right. The ip6tables dumps are the same between

   ip6tables_after_reboot_working.txt and ip6tables_adter_reboot2_not_working.txt;

   Is there anyway I can log into your system and debug with you? If possible, it would

   be great. Thx.

   If I have access to your system while it is not working, then I would keep an eye on the

   default route since to get to "2a00:1450:400e:801::200e"; a default route might be needed.

   Also, I need to see how far to packet (ping6) travels the IP stack by duping out the counter on

   ip6table or on the eth1 interface.

   I would add the following rule to the ip6table:

   ip6tables --table filter --insert OUTPUT 1 -j LOG --log-prefix "ICMP_OUTPUT:" --log-level 7

   ip6tables --table nat --insert POSTROUTING 1 -j LOG --log-prefix "ICMP_POST:" --log-level 7

   // This allows us to see the ICMPv6 packet hits the OUTPUT chain (first) and POSTROUTING chain (last) before hitting the hardware interface 

    then for each ping6: dmesg command   to see the output of the log  

Hi Le,

Just sent you the login details for my UTM. 
Already added the two ip6table rules. Tried to ping6 google.com, dmesg output attached.

Kind regards,

Sander

Hello Le,

thank you for taking care of leftover issues with IPv6. Just the other day i was talking to someone who has "Deutsche Glasfaser" (one of the larger direct fiber providers in north-west germany). Appearently they are using 6rd for IPv6 Dual Stack. Would supporting 6rd be more of a feature request or do you want to address this aswell within this bugfix? (i don't know much about 6rd as i did not run into this issue before)

thank you again for you work on this.

@ SanderRutten 

Thanks so much for your help for the capture (dmesg). The ping6 traffics was hitting the ppp0 3 times. But why there is no reply? This is still a puzzle.

I sent a PM wrt login info. Thanks again.

@ Ben

Team decision is needed for 6rd support. I will pass your request on.

Your comments and help are appreciated. Thanks again.

Le,

will all these ipv6 improvement also go into the Sophos XG? I noticed that ipv6 is "completly broken" there. While i have no interested in switching, i was wondering if these things will be adressed there aswell.

thank you again for the information and work on the ipv6 fixes on the UTM.
