[SOLVED] Hosts Not Autoconfiguring

[twmjr]

Here is my setup:

HE IPV6 < - > Cisco 871 WAN (F4) - Cisco 871 LAN (VLAN1) < - > en0 Mac OSX Mavericks (Windows7 VM)

I have my tunnel /64 configured on the F4 WAN interface of the 871. The tunnel works exactly as expected. IPv6 pings work across the tunnel and out onto the internet.

I have my allocated /48 configured on the VLAN1 interface of the Cisco 871. The port connected to my iMac's en0 interface is a standard access port (It was a trunk when I started this process, but I have reverted to a standard access port for simplification of troubleshooting) on VLAN1.

The trouble is that, when I bounce the en0 interface on the iMac, I can see a Router Solicitation message being sent (in Wireshark). I see my 871 respond with a Rouder Advertismenet message (and see periodic RA messages on top of it). The problem is that my iMac seems to simply ignore the RA message. It never autoconfigures a global address on the /48. The same exact behavior is seen on the Windows7 VM -- it sends RS, gets RA, does nothing with it. The RA message contains my /48 prefix. It also has the autonomous autoconfig bit set. I am at a loss as to what in the world is going on. If anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear them. Here is the relevant portion of my Cisco config (for the LAN):

Code Select Expand


ipv6 unicast-routing
ipv6 cef
ipv6 multicast-routing
interface Vlan1
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
ip nat inside
ip virtual-reassembly in
ipv6 address 2001:470:8BE4::/48 eui-64
ipv6 enable
ipv6 nd autoconfig prefix
ipv6 nd prefix 2001:470:8BE4::/48 86400 86400
ipv6 nd router-preference High
ipv6 nd ra interval 30
end
ipv6 route ::/0 Tunnel0


Edit: One additional note -- if I hard-set an address on the iMac on my 48 prefix (e.g. 2001:470:8BE4::2/48), everything works exactly as you'd expect. It is simply that autoconfiguration is not working.

Thanks :)

autoconfig uses /64 not /48
the intent of the /48 on the tunnel is if you need more /64 subnets than the one auto-allocated alongside your tunnel's PtP /64

Thank you...I knew it had to be something simple I was overlooking.

I guess what threw me off is that the router just went ahead with the /48 and assigned itself an address using eui-64. I presumed the hosts would do the same thing and forgot all about the need for it to be a /64 prefix.

You are a hero. :)
