=====================================
Configure IPv6 for generic DSL dialup
=====================================
------------
Introduction
------------
This short article shows how to setup IPv6 on a standard DSL connection and how
to handover the delegated prefix from your provider in your local LAN.
It's compatible and tested for but not limited to:
- Deutsche Telekom
-------------------------
Step 1 - General Settings
-------------------------
Go to **System->Settings->General->** and check that **Prefer IPv4 over IPv6**
is not ticked. This value is default so just check if it has been touched.
Also enable **Allow DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN** at the
bottom, so you get the correct DNS servers if you just use IPv4 ones.
-------------------
Step 2 - Allow IPv6
-------------------
Next go to **Firewall->Settings->Advanced** and verfiy that **Allow IPv6** is enabled.
--------------------------------
Step 3 - Interface Configuration
--------------------------------
In **Interfaces->WAN** and set **IPv6 Configuration Type** to DHCPv6 and in section
**DHCPv6 client configuration** at the bottom tick:
- Request only an IPv6 prefix
- Send IPv6 prefix hint
- Use IPv4 connectivity
Set the prefix size to the one your provider delegates, mostly /56 or 64, sometimes /48.
Then change to **Interfaces->LAN** and set **IPv6 Configuration Type** to **Track Interface**.
At the bottom in section **Track IPv6 Interface** choose **IPv6 Interface** as WAN and for
**IPv6 Prefix ID** a value of 0 is perfectly fine.
Hit Apply and disable/enable the NICs of your internal systems. Depending on the system
and vendor, also a reboot could be required.
