IPV6 PD to downstream router

Hi all,

Anyone have any ideas on providing a prefix delegation to a downstream router?

My FWP is receiving a /56 from my ISP, and clients are correctly getting ipv6 addresses. My problem is that I'd like to delegate part of that /56 to a second router downstream, but I cannot work out how.

Following many different examples online, I have tried adjusting .router/config/dhcpcd6/eth0.101.conf and .router/config/dhcp/conf/br0_v6.conf

but the downstream router isn't seeing a prefix delegated.

Would anyone know of a straightforward way to achieve this?

Many thanks,

Dean

  Downstream prefix delegation is not supported yet.

  Thanks for coming back on this.

  I don't want to waste your time, but are there any additional services I can run on my FWP to provide delegation to a second router (without interfering with the running of the firewalla software itself), e.g. radvd?

  Thanks again

  Sorry I think it will be very difficult to achieve this by using 3rd party tools, because Firewalla has lots of routing tables rules & firewall rules for different purposes, this 3rd party tool has to be able to understand and adapt to them. Basically need to know how Firewalla internal works to make it work.

  We are aware of radvd. We didn't implement this second-router delegation because it's not easy. :(
