Re: Telus fiber IPv6 prefix changes every time my router reboots
This is not proper behaviour per https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8978. In the event that a router reboots (or there is a power outage etc) then clients will have unroutable ipv6 addresses for some time. Telus should change this.1.6KViews1like0CommentsTelus fiber IPv6 prefix changes every time my router reboots
Hi all, I have Telus Fiber at home. I'm a pretty advanced user, running both IPv4 and IPv6 via prefix delegation. Works great, except that every time I reboot my router (every few months for an update) i pull a new IPv6 prefix. Any idea why? I have about 10 things to change every time it happens, since Ipv6 addresses are used internally and some of my devices need a static config for various esoteric reasons. it's annoying! My IPv4 address doesn't change - why are IPv6 prefixes not sticky? I'm not asking for garanteed static behavior on a home connection - just trying to understand why they don't persist even a little bit. I'm using a Unifi Dream Machine Pro connected directly via SFP to Telus fiber. No Telus router involved.3.4KViews1like3Comments
