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.

  • Yeah, doing something like that :)
    Using my old OpenWRT router. Router gets the /48 prefix perfectly. Assigned my Sophos a static IPv6 address on the WAN interface.
    My internal network gets a /64. OpenWRT has a static route to this subnet. The clients are getting their address via the Prefix Advertisement.
    Downside of this solution, except extra hardware and NAT, all the outgoing traffic is using my Sophos WAN IPv6 address :(

    Sophos, fix it please! I'd except a bug like this to be in cheap consumer hardware, not in professional/enterprise level hard/software.
