At this stage, there should be basic IPv6 connectivity to link-local, and if static routes and manually assigned addresses in place you should have a working connection.
Optionally, if routes and addresses have not been configured statically, DHCPv6 can be used for automatic negotiation of the IPv6 WAN and LAN prefixes - using DHCPv6 is usually the default for our routers (
When DHCPv6 is enabled, the CPE sends a DHCPv6 Solicitation to the IPv6 broadcast address, containing a list of options that it requires.
Once we receive the DHCPv6 Solicitation, the LNS you are connected to will send a reply containing responses to the options requested. The CPE can then take the options and apply them as appropriate.
At this point we will be routing any IPv6 blocks to your /128 WAN address. Usually a line will have at least one /64 block routed.
Customers can add additional /64 blocks on the Control Pages that will be routed.
If you want the whole /48 routed, untick the routing on all of the /64s you have, they disappear, and then tick the line routing on the /48 you have. Alternatively Support staff can help.
