OpenWRT, AT&T and IPv6

Hi,

I have problems with setting up OpenWRT and IPv6. On Comcast it worked but it looks like Sonic/AT&T box is filtering the 6to4 connection even if the IPv6 is disabled for LAN.

Is it possible to get a IPv6? Or at least a modem which does not filter IPv6 (recommendation for dumb box equivalent of DOCIS modem are welcome - I presume I can get PPP data from Sonic)?

After a lot of searching online I was able to get it working with the following:

/etc/config/network

Code: Select all

config interface 'wan6'
        option proto '6rd'
        option peeraddr '184.23.144.1'
        option ip6prefix '2602:240::'
        option ip6prefixlen '28'
        
        # The entries below are optional but sped up my connection.

        # See https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-foo-v6ops-6rdmtu-01.html
        option mtu '1480'
Then reboot or run:

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/network restart
I'm using Sonic ADSL through AT&T with a PACE 5268AC rental modem bridged via LAN subport (had to call support to get it working - the default bridging on the web interface was not functional on either IPv4 or IPv6). IPv6 tunnel must be enabled at https://members.sonic.net/labs/ipv6tunnel/
