IPv6 Routers: Difference between revisions

*For generic information on how AAISP do [[IPv6]] on DSL lines, see: [[IPv6]].

The [[TG582N]] is AAISPs current [[ADSL Router|ADSL router]], it was chosen due to its [[IPv6]] support. The Firmware that AAISP use which supports [[IPv6]] is 8.4.7.0.

The [[TG582N]] is a 4 port [[ADSL Router|ADSL router]], and can be configured so that one of the [[ethernet]] ports can support PPPoE - for connecting to a [[FTTC Modem]]. It has wifi too.

We've tested a TG789vn router (Aug 2011) which had beta [[IPv6]] firmware (10.1.0.3), and this works.

The Airport Extreme claims to support native [[IPv6]] over PPPoE but we don't know of anyone who has it working. It still works via tunnels though (tunnel configuration explained on the [http://aa.net.uk/kb-broadband-ipv6-tech.html knowledge base]). You need to set the remote tunnel endpoint address to 81.187.81.6, and you need two /64 subnets off us that are statically routed to the Airport's IPv4 address. Assign an IP from one /64 as the WAN address and set the default route to our ping address "bottomless", which is 2001:8b0:0:81::51bb:51bb. Set the LAN address to the first usable IP on the second /64 and it should just work.

Note that the firmware 7.6.3 breaks tunnels configured under earlier firmware but there is a simple fix. Using the latest version of Airport Utility you need to add an [[IPv6]] Delegated Prefix. The easy way seems to be to copy and paste the address from the [[IPv6]] LAN address field and add /64 to the end - otherwise it assumes a /48.

The RT-N66U does pretty much "just work" with [[IPv6]]. Running the TomatoUSB firmware it was just a case of enabling "Native [[IPv6]]" in the [[IPv6]] options and giving the router's LAN interface an address from the allocated /64. The router appears to have enabled RA by default, so everything on the LAN side "just works"
