I meant running one's own ipv6 router is not mainstream, not whether PD is used by the provider. I'm sure the latter is already mainstream.
Was busy trying with pfSense ;-).
Maybe the setup is not mainstream, but what's the point of getting a /56 prefix when you can't use all of the subnets ? At the moment I don't really need all the subnets, but how I'm going to use ipv6 on my internal network when at any moment my addresses can change ? Of course I could just use the network right behind the dsl-modem/router but I prefer having a linux firewall between my internal network and the wild wide web.
You can split that /56 into multiple /64s with openSUSE as a router. Also, why do you think your addresses will change? Dhcpv6-pd uses something called DUID which ties your prefix to the hardware, so it shouldn't change.
An extra problem is my dsl-modem/router. Its firewall is too limited. Standard all inboud traffic is blocked which is OK. You can allow traffic through for a host (all or individual ports). But you can only specify the host-part of the ipv6-address. That means hosts on a different subnet are not reachable. But that's not on topic here.
The firewall/modem my ISP provides is also very limiting. That's why I put it in bridge mode and created my own router/firewall. I tried to use openSUSE, but wound up going with pfsense. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
