No ipv6 ping on client posible

Hi,

on my fresh installed openwrt 19.07.4 on a Archer C6 I can do ping -6 google.com and get the expected result:

PING google.com (2a00:1450:4001:800::200e): 56 data bytes

64 bytes from 2a00:1450:4001:800::200e: seq=0 ttl=117 time=20.877 ms

Doing the same on a client fails with “host not found”. Pinging 2a00:1450:4001:800::200e instead off google.com does not work as well. The problem exists on Windows and Linux clients. Ping -4 google.com works. The clients have a valid Ipv6 address in the address space of the router.

Any idea why dns and icmp are blocked?

Thanx, anna

looks like dns is working:

tracepath output:

It looks like you have no IPv6 prefix, thus configure IPv6 relaying:

changed /etc/config/dhcp to

..
config dhcp 'lan'
	option interface 'lan'
	option start '100'
	option limit '150'
	option leasetime '12h'
	option dhcpv6 'server'
	option ra 'server'
	option ndp 'server'

config dhcp 'wan'
	option interface 'wan'
	option ignore '1'

config odhcpd 'odhcpd'
	option maindhcp '0'
	option leasefile '/tmp/hosts/odhcpd'
	option leasetrigger '/usr/sbin/odhcpd-update'
	option loglevel '4'
 
config dhcp 'wan6'
	option dhcpv6 'relay'
	option ra 'relay'
	option ndp 'relay'
	option master '1'
	option interface 'wan6'
..

now ifstatus wan6 looks like this:

DHCP mixing server and relay for ipv4/v6?

with:

uci set dhcp.lan.dhcpv6="relay"
uci set dhcp.lan.ndp="relay"
uci set dhcp.lan.ra="relay"
uci set dhcp.wan6.interface="wan6"
uci commit dhcp
/etc/init.d/odhcpd restart

ping -6 google.com worked once, but after router reboot ping times out and tracepath prints "no replay"
