I'm glad someone came across the tech support to find out :) Do you have 2 switches stacked together? I do have another concern though, the Transmitted Pause Frames is growing, and I don't know if this is causing me Packet Errors on one interface on the SAN. Can you send me a copy of your switch, so I can compare with mine? Thanks!! Jean Hi,

]]> Comment on IPv6 on m0n0wall by Tom http://www.ninjabadger.net/2010/02/17/ipv6-on-m0n0wall/comment-page-1/#comment-112 Tom Wed, 09 Feb 2011 16:17:24 +0000 http://www.ninjabadger.net/?p=124#comment-112 The first step, in m0n0wall at least, is to head into 'System: Advanced' and check the box that says 'IPv6 Support'. Without that, you won't have half the options you need. From memory, the GUI of pfSense is very similar, but to my knowledge it's got very flakey support for IPv6 (or none, if you count only stable releases). I'd check that your build actually has v6 support first. LAN: Add the IPv6 prefix in the appropriate box, enable RA. WAN: This is dependant on your ISP. Is it Andrews & Arnold? If so, you just need to the 'IPv6 mode' to 'PPP', and the routing of your prefix from the LAN to the world will 'just work'. :) The firewall, from memory, doesn't allow any v6 out by default (in contrast, it does for v4). On the 'IPv6 Rules' page you should just be able to add a rule that allows anything from the 'LAN subnet', to anywhere. And that's job done. I believe there's a predefined rule for blocking known aliens on the WAN, but my memory is hazy in that respect. Hope this helps!

A few questions... - Did you just put in the IPv6 address (2001:400::/64) in the "LAN" tab, and put the gateway in? - Did you have to enable rtadvd? DHCPv6? - Did you have to enable any firewall rules? - Did you have to do anything to the WAN interface? My ISP gave me a /64. There's not many tutorials out there on how to configure pfsense/m0n0wall with a single /64 space. I'm hoping that you can shed some additional light on how you got it working.
