1 6rd is a mechanism to enable IPv6 tunneling for providers who are unable to provide native IPv6 to their customers. It uses a 6in4 SIT tunnel to work it's magic.
2
3 This is an example of 6rd for CenturyLink customers - you'll need to find out if your provider supports 6rd, and what are the various settings - including 6rd prefix, the ipv4 6rd tunnel server address.
4
5 CL customers can figure out their assigned IPv6 prefix with the following command:
6
7 {{{ echo $(printf "2602:%02x:%02x%02x:%02x00::1\n" $(echo $YOUR-PUBLIC-IP-ADDRESS | tr . ' '))}}}
8
9 Replace $YOUR-PUBLIC-IP-ADDRESS with the public facing address on your ER. You'll get an IP in the form of:
10
11 {{{ 2602:xx:xxxx:xxxx::1}}}
12
13 Configure your tunnel like so:
14
15 {{{ set interfaces tunnel tun0 6rd-prefix '2602::/24'
16 set interfaces tunnel tun0 address '2602:xx:xxxx:xxxx::1/24'
17 set interfaces tunnel tun0 description 'CenturyLink IPv6 6rd tunnel'
18 set interfaces tunnel tun0 encapsulation sit
19 set interfaces tunnel tun0 local-ip $YOUR-PUBLIC-IP-ADDRESS
20 set interfaces tunnel tun0 mtu 1472
21 set interfaces tunnel tun0 multicast disable
22 set interfaces tunnel tun0 ttl 255}}}
23
24 If you are running pre-1.8 firmware, you will need to use the following:
25
26 {{{ set protocols static route6 '::/0' next-hop '::205.171.2.64' interface tun0}}}
27
28 If you are running 1.8 or later, use the following instead:
29
30 {{{ set interfaces tunnel tun0 6rd-default-gw ::205.171.2.64}}}
31
32 And configure a range on your LAN side. In this case, we'll be using eth1. For CL business level customers, each public static IP gets assigned a /56. For residential, its a /64. We'll use the first /64 block in the /56 for the LAN.
33
34 {{{ set interfaces ethernet eth1 address '2602:xx:xxxx:xxxx::1/64'
35 set interfaces ethernet eth1 ipv6 dup-addr-detect-transmits 1
36 set interfaces ethernet eth1 ipv6 router-advert cur-hop-limit 64
37 set interfaces ethernet eth1 ipv6 router-advert link-mtu 1472
38 set interfaces ethernet eth1 ipv6 router-advert managed-flag false
39 set interfaces ethernet eth1 ipv6 router-advert max-interval 300
40 set interfaces ethernet eth1 ipv6 router-advert other-config-flag false
41 set interfaces ethernet eth1 ipv6 router-advert prefix '2602:xx:xxxx:xxxx::/64' autonomous-flag true
42 set interfaces ethernet eth1 ipv6 router-advert prefix '2602:xx:xxxx:xxxx::/64' on-link-flag true
43 set interfaces ethernet eth1 ipv6 router-advert prefix '2602:xx:xxxx:xxxx::/64' valid-lifetime 2592000
44 set interfaces ethernet eth1 ipv6 router-advert reachable-time 0
45 set interfaces ethernet eth1 ipv6 router-advert retrans-timer 0
46 set interfaces ethernet eth1 ipv6 router-advert send-advert true}}}

48 Congrats, you should now have functioning IPv6 over 6rd from CL! Feel free to adapt these to your own provider's setup.
