D-link IPv6 Router Advertisement missing
Shadow Hawkins on Saturday, 11 July 2009 12:42:08
I have successfully configured a D-link DIR-825 to serve as the tunnel endpoint for my SixXS IPv6 tunnel. This means that all my home PC can run native IPv6 through the D-link router.
However I can't get the IPv6 address auto-configuration of the DIR-825 to work even though the configuration manual describes how to set it up. With manuel configured IP addresses in my host the DIR-825 works just fine for both Linux and Windows hosts. Snooping with WireShark doesn't catch any Router Advertisement. Does anyone have IPv6 working with address auto-configuration on a D-link router or have some hints what to try?

D-link IPv6 Router Advertisement missing

I was not able to find the D-Link DIR-825 Rev B1 router here in the US, so I ended up with the D-Link DIR-615 Rev C1.
It works flawlessly as my 6in4 endpoint, and as a RADVD server.
Here are the settings I used:
Make sure you are using a 6in4 static tunnel on your sixxs pop. I suppose it could work with heartbeat as well if you run a heartbeat client somewhere, but I have not tried.
Get your tunnel details from https://www.sixxs.net/home/ and click on your tunnel id for the complete information. Make certain you have requested a subnet for the tunnel in question, or this will not work.
Product Page: DIR-615
Hardware Version: C1
Firmware Version: 3.10NA
IPv6 Connection is : IPv6 in IPv4
Remote IPv4 Address : (use sixxs tunnel pop ipv4 here)
Remote IPv6 Address : (use sixxs tunnel pop ipv6 here)
Local IPv4 Address : (use isp provided ipv4 here)
Local IPv6 Address : (use sixxs tunnel your ipv6 here)
Primary DNS Address : I left it blank since I do not have any RFC 5006 capable clients, and do not want to use DHCPv6.
Secondary DNS Address : I left it blank since I do not have any RFC 5006 capable clients, and do not want to use DHCPv6.
LAN IPv6 Address : Set to one of the addresses out of the /48 subnet allocated for your tunnel. e.g. if you subnet was 2001:db8::/48 use 2001:db8::1/64 as your LAN address.
LAN IPv6 Link-Local Address : - automatically set
Enable Autoconfiguration: Checked (ON)
Autoconfiguration Type : Stateless
Router Advertisement Lifetime: 120
If you have problems, you may want to upgrade your firmware and then reset your router back to factory settings before setting everything up again. This solved my initial problem with the DIR-615.
Good Luck.
