Activate 6RD/native IPv6 w/o a Pace modem?

by gimpelevichtrust » Sat Jan 17, 2015 3:58 pm
This account is grandfathered into not renting a Pace modem, so the option to activate non-tunneled IPv6 is absent from Member Tools. A call to 611 confirmed it's not active, and apparently they do not have the access to override it. Can someone at Sonic reading this please activate it? TIA.

Also, I'm unclear as to whether it will use 6RD after activating, or just plain DHCPv6. If it's 6RD, there are a couple of mandatory settings that don't seem to be public.

It's 6RD and works fine with or without the Pace modem and with or without doing anything in member tools. Here are the relevant settings:
6RD prefix: 2602:240::/28
6RD Endpoint: 184.23.144.1

If you want to use Sonic's IPv6 recursive DNS servers for some reason (you don't need to), they are:
2001:5a8::11
2001:5a8::33

It works! Thanks! It's a shame this method does not automatically use DNS servers that are IPv6-enabled according to test-ipv6.com without manually specifying IPv6 addresses. Any idea whether the ones you gave have RPZ enabled?

UPDATE: The IPv6 DNS servers do have RPZ enabled.
UPDATE 2: Finally saw this buried in the wiki: https://wiki.sonic.net/wiki/Fusion_IPv6 ... e_Pace411N
