DHCPv6 PD not working

Mon Jan 25, 2016 9:15 am

Hello,
I got a fiber connection from my ISP (Orange, in France), on their new architecture, which provides both IPv4 (through DHCP) & IPv6 (not sure how exactly, might be prefix delegation).

I manage to replace my ISP's box (livebox) with a Mikrotik for IPv4, configuring DHCP client with relevant options (77 & 90), with commands:
Code: Select all
    /ip dhcp-client option
    add code=77 name=userclass value=0xZZZZZZZ
    add code=90 name=authsend value=0xYYYYYYY

    /ip dhcp-client
    add interface=vlan832-orange disabled=no add-default-route=yes default-route-distance=1 use-peer-dns=yes use-peer-ntp=yes dhcp-options=hostname,clientid,authsend,userclass
Now, I'm screwed with IPv6. It seems I have to send DHCP options as well, so that I can be "authentified" on ISP side. But, as far as I can see, there's no way to send them with /ipv6 dhp-client.
I tried:
Code: Select all
    /ipv6 dhcp-client
    add interface=vlan832-orange pool-name="IPv6-pool" pool-prefix-length=64 prefix-hint=::/0
When checking, dhcp-client is always searching.

Any idea welcome.
Regards

I digged into that problem a little further.

My ISP provides IPv6 through prefix delegation.
For this to work, I need to send DHCPv6 options 11, 15 & 16 to be somewhat authenticated on the network.

What I understand for now is that Mikrotik/RouterOS does not allow options with DHCPv6 client.

Is there any place I could fill a feature request for that ?

You should ask support@mikrotik.com. You can post it here (you already did), but they can miss it. And even if not, they don't comment on everything, so if you want an answer, ask them directly.

Here is the answer from Mikrotik support:
Hello,

DHCPv6 and DHCP-PD client options are planned. If everything goes as planned
that might even land in RouterOS 6.x branch.

Regards,
Which means I'll have to be patient before getting IPv6 :)

It must be something specific to your provider, as I have IPv6 using DHCPv6 PD as well and it works fine here
with the current MikroTik firmware. This is on the Dutch provider XS4ALL.
Code: Select all
/ipv6 dhcp-client
add add-default-route=yes interface=pppoe-xs4all-inet pool-name=\
    xs4all-v6prefix request=prefix

Yes, Orange needs DHCPv6 options.

I hope we will have them soon :D

If I remember correctly, they said it will be in RouterOS v7.
