Telenet is an ISP in Belgium that provides its customers with IPv6. Everywhere I looked on the net I read that you should configure your firewall with a /56 IPv6 prefix, but I could not get it to work with my modem in bridging mode. I got it working after changing it to /57. Read along for the full explanation
I do not know if this is required, but I specifically requested a modem only installation by the technician. I got a DOCSIS 3.1 E-ROUTER, Compal CV8560E HGW3.1, a.k.a. Marakele.
The first step is enabling bridge mode on the Mijn Telenet customer portal:
- Internet > Je thuisnetwerk > Modem details > Geavanceerde instellingen
- You are now on the Telenet-modem – Geavanceerde instellingen page. Enter the MAC-address of the WAN interface of your pfSense in the MAC-adres field and click on Wijzigingen opslaan
Then on your pfSense firewall:
- Interfaces > WAN
- IPv6 Configuration Type: DHCP6
- DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation size: 57
- Enable Send IPv6 prefix hint
- Disable Block bogon networks
- Interfaces > LAN
- IPv6 Configuration Type: Track Interface
- Track IPv6 Interface: WAN
- Track IPv6 Previx ID: 0
That should be it!
Thank you Wim van Eupen for updating the change form prefix 56 to 57.
THANK YOU! I was trying to figure out why it didn’t work. This config was exactly what was needed.
You should adopt your documentation.
Something has changed since 19/03/2024.
You should use a prefix delegation size of /57 now.
