My router gets a dhcpv6 address from my upstream, eth0.10 is my WAN Interface towards my ISP:
tim@ferrari:~$ show interfaces
Codes: S - State, L - Link, u - Up, D - Down, A - Admin Down
Interface IP Address MAC VRF MTU S/L Description
----------- ------------------------- ----------------- ------- ----- ----- ---------------------------------------------
eth0 - xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx default 1522 u/u <removed>
eth0.10 x.x.x.218/23 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx default 1500 u/u <removed>
x:x:x:7e::4e92/128

lo 127.0.0.1/8 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx default 65536 u/u <removed>
::1/128The configuration that gets the DHCPv6 and delegates to my LAN is thus:
tim@ferrari:~$ show configuration commands | match dhcpv6 set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 10 address 'dhcpv6' set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 10 dhcpv6-options pd 0 interface eth1 address '1' set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 10 dhcpv6-options pd 0 interface eth1 sla-id '1' set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 10 dhcpv6-options pd 0 length '56'
I have a working v6 address from my ISP:
tim@ferrari:~$ ping 2600:: source-address x:x:x:7e::4e92 PING 2600::(2600::) from x:x:x:7e::4e92 : 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 2600::: icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=211 ms 64 bytes from 2600::: icmp_seq=2 ttl=55 time=211 ms 64 bytes from 2600::: icmp_seq=3 ttl=55 time=211 ms 64 bytes from 2600::: icmp_seq=4 ttl=55 time=211 ms 64 bytes from 2600::: icmp_seq=5 ttl=55 time=211 ms
But I am unable to release it from my eth0.10 interface:
tim@ferrari:~$ release dhcpv6 interface eth0.10 DHCPv6 client is not configured on interface eth0.10.
As above though, it is configured:
set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 10 address 'dhcpv6'
There appears to be an error/issue with the detection of the fact DHCPv6 is configured (prehaps the subinterface is the issue) and thus I am unable to release my DHCPv6 address.
The renew command is however recognised and works correctly:
tim@ferrari:~$ renew dhcpv6 interface eth0.10 Restarting DHCPv6 client on interface eth0.10... tim@ferrari:~$
Thanks!
