DHCPv6-PD – First Steps

Re:DHCPv6-PD – First Steps by miller_joe on Wednesday June 05, 2024 @08:20PM (#40592115)

This is great! I’ve been using ipv6 on openbsd for a while now, starting with a hurricane electric tunnel years ago then to native v6 on Comcast and now Sonic. Configuring ipv6 PD has not been supported in base this whole time. I recall using wide-dhcp6c years ago and then switching to the dhcpcd in the article. The situation has improved, slowly, but it will be great to have this in the base system

*EDIT*: dhcp6leased landed in base yesterday: https://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=202406040850...

Did Sonic start offering native IPv6? Last I looked, it was only covered via tunnel only.

They turned on native IPv6 end of last year, at least in some areas (including Berkeley where I live). You wouldn't know it from their help pages, but there are some post in the forum to that effect.

I checked and I indeed have an ipv6 assigned to my router! Now I just need to figure out how to make it request a prefix.
