Almond+ IPv6?
« on: July 19, 2014, 09:33:09 pm »
Hello,
I'm really excited about my Almond+, it's SO much faster than anything I had before.  It works well, and the interface is coming along nicely through the dev process.

That said, I'm a Comcast customer at current, and in their IPv6 service area.  I wanted to try out native IPv6, but I'm having trouble seeing how I should set it up.  Are there any instructions on that somewhere, or is IPv6 not yet implemented, or some other news someone could give me?

Thanks!

EDIT: You can find a set of instructions for IPv6 on Comcast in this post: http://forum.securifi.com/index.php?topic=1238.msg3776#msg3776

I take no responsibility for the config, or safety of the firewall rules.  Use at your own risk!

IPv6 support is implemented, but I'm going to have to have the software team help put together some instructions as I don't have access to an IPv6 network, so I haven't had the opportunity to try and set things up.

Pretty sure Comcast use DHCP to give a /128 for the WAN interface, and a /64 delegation for the LAN interface.

I've not got my Almond+ yet though so can't tell you how to enter those settings.

I'm presuming that whatever configuration is required is probably done in OpenWRT, it doesn't look like the native interface has everything just yet.  So I may try to figure it out based on that, though a cursory glance tells me it may be non-obvious for the novice. Hmm..

Any updates on this?  Still looking for Almond+ specific instructions, I haven't had much luck on the OpenWRT side of the house.

Sorry, still waiting for someone from the software team to provide instructions.

Edit: I was still discovering syntax in this post.  Deleted for brevity/errors.

And now to respond to myself yet again, I see that the /etc/config/dhcp6c file is a UCI config, which is supposed to be used to generate the "real" config, but it looks like the config it generates doesn't correspond to what I have in the UCI config.

Nevermind, no bug here.  Found these are IDs, not booleans when the config is written.

More information, Almond+ by default has ip6tables which doesn't allow dhcp6c, I found this out by disabling it entirely, but then backed it on.

Found this thread which gave me a custom rule to allow it: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=591630#c1

Code: [Select]
# This file is interpreted as shell script.
# Put your custom iptables rules here, they will
# be executed with each firewall (re-)start.

/usr/sbin/ip6tables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 546 --sport 547 -s fe80::/10 -d fe80::/10 -j ACCEPT

Now I can DHCP an address on the WAN side.  Hurray!

Nice to see you're making some progress.

So is your WAN now getting and address via DHCP6 from your ISP? Just the delegation needing to be solved?

It is, and the delegation works now, too, actually.  I will post configs for Comcast when I get back tonight, but I think ip6tables is broken due to conntrack not functioning as intended.  (Of course, you can turn the firewalls off, but that's a..less great idea.)

Does anyone know the kernel version the almond+ is running offhand?  I don't have mine in front of me, but I wanted to see if I could verify a theory that connection tracking might be broken in the kernel with ipv6.  Apparently it didn't work until version 2.6.20+ when they switched to xtables.
