R2 IPV6

Recommended Posts

Good evening guys! i need your help.
I recently requested IPV6 from my provider, as main router I have an asus ax6000 and R2 is in cascade (all devices are connected to R2).
IpV6 in asus is activated, to activate it in R2 do I have to activate the voice both in WAN and LAN or only LAN? thank you all.

You would want to activate on the WAN. If it's not activated, it's not going to send a signal to receive a signal to receive the IPv6 from the Asus.

Activate on both WAN AND LAN. LAN, is so all the devices connected to the R2 can have an IPv6 address. If LAN is disabled, no IPv6 address for those devices that is connnected to the R2.

Si desidera eseguire l'attivazione sulla WAN. Se non è attivato, non invierà un segnale per ricevere un segnale per ricevere l'IPv6 dall'Asus.

Attiva sia su WAN CHE SU LAN. LAN, è così che tutti i dispositivi collegati alla R2 possono avere un indirizzo IPv6. Se la LAN è disattivata, nessun indirizzo IPv6 per le periferiche connesse a R2.

OK, I was doing it right then; pity, however, that R2 does not assign ipv6 to clients, not even restarting it

Not quite, having IPv6 enabled on LAN would give devices local IPv6 addresses like you get with IPv4 192.168.77.100 for example. IPv6 was designed to deal with the shortage of IPv4 addresses but on your local network you're not going to have that problem so this can be disabled, a local IPv6 address isn't required for a public IPv6 address, as long as WAN is enabled then each device will use the public IPv6 address.

ok, I activated IPv6 from WAN but all along a test on the network tells me not supported, while if I move the network cable of the PC directly to router asus doing the test on the network tells me IPv6 found. Is this normal?

Yes. It will only work if the R2 supports IPv6 pass through. I don’t think that it does. I could be wrong, but the R2 doesn’t provide those types IPv6 configurations. It will work on the XR 500 since it allows you to configure IPv6 using pass through.

By cascade do you mean you've put the R2 in the AX DMZ as I can't see a specific cascade option on their manual

no its not in dmz R2. I use port forwarding for ASUS NAS, zabbix server and warzone. i cant keep r2 on dmz because exposure would be too dangerous for some devices having public static ip.

Putting the R2 in its DMZ wouldn't cause any devices connected to the R2 to be open to the internet, the R2 has a firewall so it is safe to do so, try with that and see if IPv6 then works

i tried to put R2 in dmz on asus, enabled ipv6 only wan on r2, the devices receive an ipv6 address but doing the test on the network it still tells me ''not detected''. If I connect any device to asus ipv6 it is also identified on the network. On asus I have static ipv6 given by my isp.

Which firmware is the R2 on currently?

I tried the new firmware IPV6 doesn’t work on the R2 with this configuration. It will only work if the R2 properly supports IPv6 pass through. I don’t think that it does. I could be wrong, but the R2 doesn’t provide those types IPv6 configurations. It works fine with the cascade configuration on the XR 500 since it allows you to configure IPv6 using pass through.

By new firmware do you mean early access? If so please post there as I believe it is working when enabling for WAN & LAN

My R2 is in DHCP, but IPV6 is not assigned on my Xbox, but R2 in PPPOE receives IPV6 normally! I'm on the "stable" .280 version!

That would indicate when the router above the R2 is handling PPPoE that it's not properly passing through IPv6, is it enabled on that router?
