BUG: IPv6 Prefix Delegation over PPPoE broken

reported this in 9.3 aswell,

when setting up WAN Connection over PPPoE the sophos is unable to get a prefix delegated to use for IPv6. 

other routers i tested are able to get a /48 IPv6 Prefix with the same connection.

  • +1 same problem here even with latest beta version
  • i reported this issue a year ago for the first time. I am not sure if its a BUG or a missing feature of the way that the prefix is assigned by the ISP. The only issue i got is that even a cheap consumer AVM Fritzbox or a OpenWRT is able to do this properly and this industry grade Firewall is not.

  • If i search the logs I connot find any indication it is requesting a prefix. But is is receiving an IPv6 link local address.

     did you had to configure anything extra to get the prefix delegation working? Do you see the PD in your log?

  • I finally have IPv6 working again, but that is a long story.
    I reviewed the logs this morning and can only see a couple of LL addresses being supplied. I have setup the IPv6 acces on my ISPs user account. Other than that I did nothing extra than enabling IPv6 in the UTM.
    The following two lines are part of the PPPoE log.

  • @Sophos: would appreciate any comment on this. Have been waiting for over a year for this issue to be adressed.
