IPv6 - PD

Post by jchinyou » 2020/04/04 13:54:03

Hi All,

Leveraging CentOS as a Router + FW.

Trying to determine the best way to configure DHCPv6 PD. From what I've been able to Google so far it seems that Dibbler might be the best and relatively easiest option to go with but have a few questions.

1) I can see Dibbler packages were built in the CBS but don't appear to have been published yet. Anyone happen to know approx. schedule on this? (Apologise, I don't know the current release schedules)

2) Is there a better Native way to achieve DHCPv6 PD that I may be missing?

Sorry for the "me too" but I'm also looking for this.
I'm trying to upgrade my centos6 firewall to centos8 but haven't fond a native way to handle DHCPv6-PD. The old way of using rp-pppoe seems to be obsolete but the replacement is broken, the scripts are not working at all(bug report open, no action what so ever) and network manager has bugs related to things like "hw address required".

I'm not even "me too"; no idea about DHCPv6-PD. (Work: no IPv6 at all, home: Ubiquiti's router does it somehow.)

In CentOS 6 you probably had ip6tables service load rules from /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables
CentOS 8 has nftables in kernel and options are:
  • firewalld.service -- Not suitable for routers
  • ip6tables.service -- Deprecated. The iptables tool is mere wrapper for nft, i.e. translates iptables syntax to nft syntax.
  • nftables.service -- the native "close to metal" solution like iptables/ip6tables services were in CentOS 6
I hope that you have found the nftables.service and not waste time with firewalld.
