DHCPv6-PD add prefix hint CLI option
Closed, ResolvedPublicFEATURE REQUEST
Actions

Description

Some ISPs (e.g. Comcast in Australia) only delegate a /64 by default. You have to explicitly ask for a /60 prefix (see discussion in T421).

Add CLI node to „help“ the dhcp client to request an appropriate size.

Guess the CLI needs a change here as this requirement was overseen. It could look something like this (note that PPPoE can be replaced by any other interface), need to work out the details.

+pppoe pppoe0 {
+    authentication {
+        password vyos
+        user vyos
+    }
+    dhcpv6-options {
+        prefix-delegation {
+            interface eth1 {
+                address 1
+                sla-id 0
+                sla-len 5
+            }
+            length 60
+        }
+    }
+    ipv6 {
+        address {
+            autoconf
+        }
+        enable
+    }
+    mtu 1400

I‘m asking myself if length should be specified as decimal number or as ::/60 prefix?

If this field is only the len, of prefix, there is no need to use prefix writing.
