Verizon FIOS IPv6 stability

Came across a comment that Verizon was rejecting an IPv6 lease renewal if there is an IA_NA option in the request

https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r33519207-

It's odd behavior, but with that bit of information I managed to get my IPv6 connections stable on my Firewalla Purple with the following:

ssh into the firewalla

edit /home/pi/.router/config/dhcpcd6/eth0.conf

remove the line with `ia_na`

at the command prompt, run `sudo systemctl restart firerouter_dhcpcd6@eth0`

Now my IPv6 addresses properly renew and things are stable. Note if you reboot your firewalla you'll likely have to login and redo these steps as I don't believe those changes will persist

Definitely weird behavior on the part of FIOS but it would be ideal if perhaps there was a toggle/option in the app to not request an address (just the prefix) and it would be a very specific scenario for FIOS but resolved my issues.

  Thanks for the info.

  I'll create a ticket on this, appreciate if we can have a remote support access on your box to double confirm if your ipv6 issue is the same with others. so that this fix can help others too.
