Hi all, new to the forum, first post, starting with a bang …
I have a dual WAN setup, one standard DSL and one Starlink service
IPV4 config, load balancing, nat, failover is working, now I am trying to set up IPV6 on the Starlink WAN and use prefix delegation to get part of my LAN on full IPV6

Running a rolling 1.4, The Starlink Dish is connected directly to one of the WAN ports (not using the Starlink router), I am able to get both an IPV4 IP and an IPV6 one:

Being on 1.4 I have tried to adapt existing documentation, most of it is specific to the EdgeRouter, but there are a lot of similarities, and there are a few posts on using IPV6 and Prefix delegation on the forums, but the syntax used is 1.3 and slightly different
I have tried to set up prefix delegation:
interfaces {
ethernet eth0 {
address 172.30.2.1/24
description LAN
firewall {
in {
name LAN_INBOUND_4
}
out {
name LAN_OUTBOUND_4
}
}
hw-id 00:a0:98:12:42:81
ipv6 {
address {
autoconf
}
}
}
ethernet eth1 {
address dhcp
description TIM-TEST
firewall {
in {
name OUTSIDE-IN
}
local {
name OUTSIDE-LOCAL
}
}
hw-id 00:a0:98:14:70:59
}
ethernet eth2 {
address dhcp
address dhcpv6
description STARLINK
dhcpv6-options {
duid 00:44:cd:80:ee:e2:80:a4:d2:f8:c6:82:d4:b3:eb:91:b0:00
pd 0 {
interface eth0 {
address 1
sla-id 0
}
length 56
}
rapid-commit
}
firewall {
in {
ipv6-name WAN_INBOUND_6
name OUTSIDE-IN
}
local {
ipv6-name WAN_LOCAL_6
name OUTSIDE-LOCAL
}
}
hw-id 00:a0:98:61:b6:8f
ipv6 {
address {
autoconf
}
}
}
and router advertisement:
router-advert {
interface eth0 {
default-lifetime 300
default-preference high
hop-limit 64
interval {
max 30
}
link-mtu 1500
name-server 2001:4860:4860::8888
name-server 2001:4860:4860::8844
name-server 2606:4700:4700::1111
name-server 2606:4700:4700::1001
other-config-flag
prefix ::/64 {
preferred-lifetime 300
valid-lifetime 900
}
reachable-time 900000
retrans-timer 0
}
}
and have tried to fiddle (not really knowing what I am doing) with the prefix length and sla-ids, but I am struggling, as IPV6 is not officially supported, and it looks like in Europe they are providing a different set of prefixes, I am not even sure that in Europe IPV6 PD is a thing …
It is not super important to get it going, but it would be really cool if I was able to understand whether I am doing something silly, or the provider just isn’t there yet with the prefix delegation …
Any suggestion as to how to debug it further would be welcome, I have tried a tcpdump on the Starlink WAN side to capture the PD - dhcpv6 handshake but I am not versed enough on the subject to understand the data / the traffic I am seeing …
BTW, very nice product, and solid docs and framework for buidling a custom router/appliance
