Need help for setting up IPv6 without upstream

Hi

I need some help for setting up my IPv6 network. I have no IPv6 WAN upstream as my ISP only gives IPv4.
I have a number of zones (guests (only IPv4), dmz, IoT, remote location via wireguard) and I want to set up proper IPv6 between the zones.

grafik

All zones have a static interface with IPv6 assignment length and IPv6 assignment hint set and I have an ULA prefix defined. The interface's IPv6 address looks good for me.

The DHCP settings look like this:

I also see that on the OpenWrt Router there are IPv6 routes.

As you see, I announce my pi-hole as DNS server.

Now, all the devices I have have different Ipv6 settings ..

The pi-hole registers IPv6 with the router and is known in all subnets (with 'host pi-hole') with IPv4 and IPv6. But I can't get the devices to use it, as only a few of the devices have a proper route to the DMZ zone where the pi-hole is connected. Even more: the pi-hole itself is not aware of a IPv6 route to the other zones (making answering impossible).

I thought of setting the 'Always announce default route' but this seems to be wrong and causes the devices to query the DNS for AAAA records for all domains ... and they can't connect there as there is no IPv6 upstream).

So question (finally): Am I wrong with my assumption that the OpenWrt with my settings shall announce IPv6 routes to the other subnets to the devices or at least one fd42:0:0:/48 via the router itself?
Are my settings correct?

Any help or hint appreciated.

Are you looking for a purely local setup or would you also like to have upstream IPV6 with a tunnel?
Regardless of what your ISP does, that is.

I'm looking for a (at the moment) pure local setup. As there are a few servers (nas, pi-hole, ..) I need an internal routing and as far as I understand, that's what ULA prefixes is for.

When I get an IPv6 upstream the devices shall also get a public global IPv6, but for local access the ULA shall be used. That's also because the public prefix I might get may change dayly.

The deeper I go, I think my settings are correct and it mostly depends on the clients. I have a lan zone (that's the one that has been originally created).
Devices in the lan zone register with IPv6 in DNS and have a proper fd42::/48 route to the router. This for Linux Mint, Linux LMDE and Windows 7.
E.g.:

Devices in DMZ register in DNS, but don't have a fd42::/48 route. One devices states there is no IPv6 router?

This is all a bit confusing. Checked the dhcpcd.conf and sysctl, all identical.

I don't see the (cause for the) problem ....

Could you post the output of

It depends, if you use he.net for tunnels the prefix is stable. Anyhow, my setup is no good for you, since it relies on the upstream prefix.

if I look on my clients the on in LAN have a proper routing table.

$ ip -6 route
fd42:0:0:41::383 dev enp0s31f6 proto kernel metric 256  pref medium
fd42:0:0:41::/64 dev enp0s31f6 proto ra metric 100  pref medium
fd42::/56 via fe80::24f5:a2ff:fe2d:7cc0 dev enp0s31f6 proto ra metric 100  pref medium
fe80::/64 dev enp0s31f6 proto kernel metric 256  pref medium

On the DMZ not:

$ ip -6 route
::1 dev lo proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
fd42:0:0:40::/64 dev eth0 proto ra metric 202 mtu 1500 pref medium
fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium

Here the ULA route is missing ... I wonder if this is with the firewall.

And this is a bit mysterious on the DMZ device:

Jan 14 20:40:52 pi-nc1 dhcpcd[467]: eth0: Router Advertisement from fe80::24f5:a2ff:fe2d:7cc0
Jan 14 20:40:52 pi-nc1 dhcpcd[467]: eth0: fe80::24f5:a2ff:fe2d:7cc0: no longer a default router
Jan 14 20:40:52 pi-nc1 dhcpcd[467]: eth0: deleting default route via fe80::24f5:a2ff:fe2d:7cc0
Jan 15 16:33:28 pi-nc1 dhcpcd[467]: RA from non local address fd42:0:0:40::1
Jan 15 16:33:28 pi-nc1 dhcpcd[467]: RA from non local address fd42:0:0:40::1
Jan 15 16:44:40 pi-nc1 dhcpcd[467]: eth0: Router Advertisement from fe80::24f5:a2ff:fe2d:7cc0

What does that mean: RA from non local address fd42:0:0:40::1

Seems as if a route is advertised but ignored on the client?

Disable that from all interfaces.

I don't see anything else wrong, however I suggest you change the capital letters of the interfaces and zones into small.

Check this! I notice there's no ::/0 via <OpenWrt> route to your NIC cards - a default route is needed to route to another network, not what you've been mentioning!

Do you have a second router in the network or something?

If all traffic is going to the OpenWrt which has routes to the networks, this is not the case, IPv6 should be working or you.

Generally wrong. Routers don't usually announce routes (unless you're running a routing protocol); but they do announce the IPv6 router/gateway, DNS, etc.

I haven't seen an error.

  • Do you permit traffic to/form these zones in the firewall?
  • Is your DMZ Interface even assigned a firewall zone?

To use what...IPv6?

That has to do with the software you're using (i.e. browser, FTP, etc.), not the router). Try testing instead by pinging the IPv6 address across networks.

I did a few more tests (testing becomes regular activity ... :wink: )

Now: all devices in LAN got a fd42::/56 route advertised from the router enabling them to connect to other zones on my site.
The devices in DMZ did not.
Easiest test now (I should have done that earlier): I placed one of the devices (my notebook) from LAN into DMZ...e voila: It got a fd42::/56 route.

Result:
a) It's not the router, that one advertises correct routes (though I have to check if it advertises them correctly).
b) The 'Always announce default route' is not needed (and there is no public route).
c) Setting NDP 'hybrid' or disabling it makes no difference.

Conclusion: The problem is on the Raspis...

Thank you all.

Seems as if the problem is related to dhcpcd. I've set up a fresh raspberry and got the same problems. Seems as if devices with dhclient do not have an issue.

Looking for help I found https://roy.marples.name/archives/dhcpcd-discuss/0002803.html

I now need to figure out how to compile an up to date dhcpcd on the raspberry ..
