No success on EdgeRouter X v2.0.9-hotfix.1, LAN part has no IPV6 assign, tried eth or switch0

Also having trouble with this line


Telling 64 is too large? Tried less than 64 is no error but no success as well. I think 64 same prefix with WAN part.

Still working in 2021. Thanks TS for the guide. Please post more tutorial like this, I just got my ER-X hands on after years haha.

Thanks for the appreciation. I rarely get it. 😂. Anyways stay tune for something fun in the future. Trying to get it as simple and easy to follow as i can. Cheers.

I got a doubt that's need to clear. After adding the DNS to the nameserver, I still see TM IPv6 DNS on my device. Is it normal?

Edit: I already reboot my router, AP and phone.

I'm still having some issue with my ER-12 with IPv6.
The configuration seems to have half working.

Android/Apple devices, no issue getting IPv6 while the Windows 10 laptop I'm having fail to get IPv6.

other than that, it seems to be working fine.

Hi guys, its me, im back for a tutorial!
I read that someone is interested for a tutorial. so i assume maybe at least half of the edgerouters owner wanna use ipv6.
ipv6 is all cli based setup.

1)first step is to enable ssh. Go to login page and click system then enable and save.

2)use putty to ssh on windows, or terminal on mac.

3)copy and paste these commands

configure

edit firewall ipv6-name WAN6_IN

set default-action drop

set rule 10 action accept
set rule 10 description "allow established"
set rule 10 protocol all
set rule 10 state established enable
set rule 10 state related enable

set rule 20 action drop
set rule 20 description "drop invalid packets"
set rule 20 protocol all
set rule 20 state invalid enable

set rule 30 action accept
set rule 30 description "allow ICMPv6"
set rule 30 protocol icmpv6
top

edit firewall ipv6-name WAN6_LOCAL
set default-action drop

set rule 10 action accept
set rule 10 description "allow established"
set rule 10 protocol all
set rule 10 state established enable
set rule 10 state related enable

set rule 20 action drop
set rule 20 description "drop invalid packets"
set rule 20 protocol all
set rule 20 state invalid enable

set rule 30 action accept
set rule 30 description "allow ICMPv6"
set rule 30 protocol icmpv6

set rule 40 action accept
set rule 40 description "allow DHCPv6 client/server"
set rule 40 destination port 546
set rule 40 source port 547
set rule 40 protocol udp
top

save

exit
these settings are assuming your(please check and adjust accordingly):
-eth0- is your wan port(the one connects no your fiber/vdsl2/adsl modem) [etc - eth0 / eth1 / eth2 ]
-eth1- is your lan port(the one connects to your computer or switch or access points) [etc - eth0 / eth1 / eth2 / or br0 if you have bridge interface]
-pppoe0- is your pppoe interface [etc - pppoe0 / pppoe1]

-vif 500- is your vlan tag (your vlan based connection according to you isp) [etc - vif 500 for unifi / vif 621 for maxis fibre / remove vif 500 entirely for anything else like time fibre]

dont forget to setup your ipv6 dns server at name server
you can use cloudfare google or opendns.
go to login page, system and fill up system name server

cloudfare

Hi guys, need to ask about whoever successfully setup ipv6 on their edgerouters. I understand that some firmware is buggy still. May i know which firmware is working so far?

I'm still having some issue with my ER-12 with IPv6.
The configuration seems to have half working.

Android/Apple devices, no issue getting IPv6 while the Windows 10 laptop I'm having fail to get IPv6.

other than that, it seems to be working fine.

Hi, are having problem? I never have any issue in connecting to TM IPV6 through my EdgeRouter 4 at all. My firmware is the latest v2.0.9-hotfix.2. After every reboot, the router never failed to get an IPV6 address. Thanks to the guides posted here before.

meanwhile with mikrotik we have a nice GUI to do everything with. I have both mikrotik and edgerouter, and i find the edgerouter very lacking in GUI to configure. It tries to appear nice but it is very very lacking. What isn't lacking is that you can install MIPS debian packages but the limited onboard storage is another matter, though you can actually set up nginx proxy cache if you have limited bandwidth.
The one thing that i use this for is to provide CPU based LACP bonding because i do not want to spend another 40 watts using my 36 core CCR for it

Support at ubiquiti forums are non existant from experience, whereas with mikrotik, litespeed, blesta i can badger their dev teams all i want 

Your opinion is legit. Though i think this thread is not for you. Please open another thread for your complain or a tutorial to help others. Heres an idea, make a tutorial for policy routing on mikrotik for example(that would be interesting to read). Whats your point to mention the ccr anyway? Care to share what interesting thing u need the 36 core for(maybe share 'how to' with us)? I have a 16 core ccr and i think its overkill for many things i do. I ended up just firing up a low power debian server with minimal iptables for my routing needs. Before u ask, yes i am planning to post a tutorial about that too(maybe you can enjoy that one).

i have both since people thought i was a mikrotik fanboy. I'm just not happy with the way that ubiquiti does things and their focus, not to mention at one point they made unfair comparisons using my posts. I remember at one point they made an unfair comparison between what i said was equivalent in hardware, a dual core 800Mhz PPC mikrotik and an ERP3 which at that time was a dual core 800Mhz MIPS too, showing just how much faster the ERP3 was. The unfair comparison was that the ERP3 was not using QoS and was relying on hardware NAT while mikrotik at that time did not have acceleration for NAt, and the speed was someone elses bench on their non standard/non home consumer config.

I would'nt really call the edgerouter a low powered debian server though as 20W is still more than what the raspberry pi uses.  The main thing lacking which isn't as easy to find is the block diagram for ubiquiti devices which tells you the internal architecture so that you can best set up the device.

As for the CCR i did actually load it up for fun with traffic generator. Theres a lot that mikrotik provides that actually makes it quite interesting, and its actually useful in hacking, but i did make a tutorial before on the net on silencing and replacing the fans and comparing the noise to the ERPRO including the PSU issues for mikrotik which they did fix in the 2nd generation of CCRs.

Still though a lot of what you can do with edgerouters are best done using SSH like a linux server, so the best tutorial for edgerouter would be how to add debian package repository and to use it like a debian server. You will need to understand the limits though like with the ERPRO the CPU can do 80Mb/s of squid per core as a proxy, so it may do 3x that if using nginx instead. The hardware limits for edgerouters are more that they do well for simpler logic instructions than calculations like ARM, so things like filters should run fast while things like non standard VPN servers or anything heavier including RTMP on nginx may run poorly.

Still, could be worse (cisco)

I dont really mind whether or not you are a fanboy, the whole point of these tutorials are helping out the community rather than proving a point from a singular point of view. I definitely not gonna side on any party who made a bias comparison.

Like i said earlier, you will be better off venting somewhere else, which is much more appropriate. Traffic generator in my opinion is useful for a somewhat narrow group of people who actually can make use of the data. In our case, it would be a normal user - enthusiasts level, the scope is rather simplistic and straight forward. All these ssh are mostly copy and paste for the majority user and i dont think i mind it at all.

Just a side note, i didnt refer any edgerouters as a debian server. I literally meant debian server on low power x86 and setup the rest so it would work as a router. Thats why i mentioned it would need its own tutorial to setup.

Anyway i hope u find your channel somewhere. Unless you are working on something interesting and needed some insight, i am more than happy to give me opinion.
