IPv6 plans and details

IPv6 is great as every device technically gets a “public” address. So sites/servers can actually see a more accurate use of services. For example multiple people can vote on sites on the same WiFi. This example is only for sites that use IPs to track/limit the amount of votes.

Right now I use Hurricane Electric Tunnel Broker to use IPv6.

It’s also good for guest WiFi networks so that sites can say block a device to a site and not the others in the cafe.

It also uses the MAC address of the devices to assign the IPv6 Address. Well technically EUI-64 is used to map the MAC address into a 64-bit EUI-64 interface identifier. The network prefix and interface identifier are concatenated to make the final (global unicast) IPv6 address.

It’s all good, had to study it at my old job as we used juniper mx 204 and had to implement IPv6 on the OFNL network.

Did they give you a block or just a router IPv6?

Surprisingly, I’m being successfully allocated an address via DHCPv6. However, it the prefix size is a /64. I presume this’ll change to a /48 or /56 when rolled out in earnest?

Wondering if there is any update on the IPv6 Testing and Rollout.

Last Update was May 2nd - “We are about to continue rolling out, we’ve been finishing off some more testing on it :slightly_smiling_face:”

Thanks

We have been doing some private testing and we will be asking for some users to test over the next few weeks.

So far everything is performing as expected.

@Yayzi_Team I’d be happy to help out with testing too

Happy to test as well

Thanks for the update. :+1:

It would be good to have a BETA test category (like the Yayzi Mobile Beta) on the forum.

I’d also love to jump on this - Have full Unifi gear so will be fun.

Not sure what staff are on the forums but if its the same as the staff on Whatsapp, you’ll know me as “WAN-King” :joy:
