Show prefix received via IA_PD in interface info
Open, LowPublic

Description

  • My DSL provider allocates /56 IPv6 network via PPPoE using IA_PD allocation
  • The PPPoE client receives the allocation but information about the prefix is not available in the output of show interfaces command.
  • The only way I managed to find it is in the dhcp6c log.

Here are examples:

r2# show interfaces

(the prefix in question is 2606:6d00:19f:a800::/56)

Could you please add IA_PD prefix to the output of show intefaces command?

dtoux created this object in space S1 VyOS Public.

@dtoux could you provide us with a mocked up output what you would like to see?

Sorry for the late reply, I've dismantled the setup as I needed to put the PPP link back in use, I will look into it again tonight. In essence, it would be good to see something like this on terse view:

...
10.0.0.1/31
2001:a:b:c::2/64
2001:a.b::/56

The first address (if any) is IPv4 one received via PPP protocol
The second one (if any) is once received via DHCP6 IA_NA mechanism
And the third one is the network received via DHCP6 IA_PD (note that it is a network and not an address)

...or you could move the IA_PD network info to the detailed view and keep the brief view tidy and clean.

I would like to see this too, with Ethernet interfaces.
