If you have ATT fiber, it’s a pain in the butt. Their default router will only issue a single passthrough /64 on request. If you have multiple VLANs you have to setup some scripts to ask for more, and even then you only get 8 of them. The gateway reserves the other 8 from the /60 it gets for its own use.
The only way I got IPv6 working well with them was to bypass their gateway. Now all my VLANs have /64, which is the standard subnet size.
- ekropotin 10mo agoI think bypassing their gateway, that is - bringing your own router is the only way to do VLANs, because their gateway is very basic and doesn’t support VLANs at all.
- illusive4080 10mo agoYou can do VLANs with their gateway but only IPv4, or you have to write custom scripts to ask for additional IPv6 delegations.
- ekropotin 10mo agoInteresting. Which model of their gateway do you have? I have BGW320 and it definitely doesn’t support vlan tagging.
- illusive4080 9mo agoAlso BGW320. Maybe I’m not understanding the difference. I had it plugged into my gateway where I did VLANs on the gateway. The BGW320 was in passthrough mode. Yes, by itself it does not support VLAN tagging.
- ekropotin 9mo agoThat’s essentially what I said - if you want VLAN tagging, you MUST pass through their gateway, IPv6 or not.
