The IETF literally could not have done a worse job if they had tried. IPV4 address exhaustion is a real problem, but they solved it in the worst possible way going totally overkill on the address space (we don't need enough IP addresses for every atom on planet earth to have its own) and making it not user friendly. I started this thread as I want to be prepared when the time comes I have to make the transition, but honestly, I think the standard is awful. Honestly, I am a little ambivalent about moving to IPV6. They also initially provided a single /64, but later a /56. Prefix ID: Pick something not being used on another internal interface.Įdited to add the request only a prefix setting Verizon does not provide a WAN addressĮdited to add the PD/Address release setting (recommended setting, not a requirement)Įdited: after discovering the "Do not allow PD/Address Release" setting has been moved in pfSense said in Verizon Fios and IPV6, Which Settings saw the same thing when my ISP was getting ready to provide IPv6. Track Interface: WAN (or whatever interface FiOS is on)Ĭ. Do not allow PD/Address release: checked (optional should retain the prefix across reboots and software upgrades if checked, not guaranteed that it will never change though) (this option has been moved to System > Advanced > Networking in pfSense Plus)ī. ![]() Do not wait for a RA: checked (no idea if this is necessary or not, but FiOS doesn't use PPPoE, so it seems like it should be checked)į. WAN (or whatever interface FiOS is on) Settings:Į. : The settings below are what I've been using for over a year as Verizon had IPv6 testing in my area: None that I've seen post about IPv6 on FiOS are running pfSense, so no one has been able to verify whether this works or not. Anything not mentioned here should be left unchecked. These are my best guess settings based on information others have provided running other routers (Verizon or otherwise). My understanding is that Verizon has identified some issues in their infrastructure that is waiting on software updates and implementation before any chance of further expansion of IPv6 testing or rollout is possible. The implementation is by Central Office or Wire Center, so even though I'm minutes away from Ashburn, I'm served by a different CO, so I don't have it available. ![]() Verizon is testing IPv6 on its FiOS network in Waltham MA, Ashburn VA, and in a couple of areas along I-95 in Virginia (confirmations have been seen in Dale City, Spotsylvania, and Richmond/Midlothian as of the time I'm posting this).
