Re: Comcast IPv6 PD Centos

I've tried to get it to work in the past, and finally just switched to
a different platform for my "firewall". It's just really really broken
in RHEL6/7 derivatives to try to get dhcp-pd to work properly without
a lot of jank and external script hooks that are fragile at best
without writing something actually stateful to manage the changes at
the kernel level + userspace along with interacting with the
distribution's network config manager.

If you really want to do it, you'll need to switch to a different dhcp
flavor like ISC and then write some hook scripts, or you have to swap
to a different network configuration management structure.

Alternately, you'll likely have a better experience with an edgerouter
X or Ubuntu.


All that said, it's been a while, so things might be better now? I'd
ask on the ISC lists or stackexchange/reddit maybe to see.

What endpoint do you have? Some of Comcast's devices -- notably the

It may be helpful to look at the forums at UBNT. They have details of how
to make it work on their edge router platform which is a Linux box
underneath.

Hi Folks,

I'm wondering if anyone has successfully configured prefix delegation on
Comcast's service using CentOS 7 as a router/firewall.

I'm trying to help troubleshoot a configuration and I can't find anything
current via Google.

Cheers,
Harry
