Request more noob friendly instruction for ipv6 Prefix Delegation #29

Closed lilchancep closed 3 years ago

lilchancep commented 3 years ago

Under the IPV6 Section it has

DHCPv6 Server & RA

Go to Services > DHCPv6 Server & RA Enable DHCPv6 server on interface LAN Configure a range of ::0001 to ::ffff:ffff:ffff:fffe Configure a Prefix Delegation Range to 64 Save Go to the Router Advertisements tab Configure Router mode as Stateless DHCP Save

The part I just literally cannot understand is the Configure a Prefix Delegation Range to 64

Would It be possible to just add the From and To Values to the guide?

Have you tried leaving Prefix Delegation Range blank and setting Prefix Delegation Size to 64? That is how mine is set up, but looking back not because I understood the directions. I suppose that was a mistake that I made, but my config works... It might be just supposed to say Prefix Delegation Size in the instructions. Can anyone else weigh in on this?

edit: it looks like Prefix Delegation Range isn't necessary unless you would like to delegate prefixes to the LAN, and for a home router you probably just want to serve out addresses. I am quite certain that the README should say Prefix Delegation Size.

Wow, i never tried to just leave it blank. That would of helped me not bang my head against the wall for hours.

Thank you for putting together a pull request @AndrewReaganM. Hope this helps more people configure their IPv6 stuff.
