SRX5308 Ipv6 problems with Comcast
Hi All, after installing the most recent firmware I decided to finally turn on IPv6. My ISP is Comcast and they tell me they are fully compatible and ready to go with IPv6.
After selecting IPv4 / IPv6 mode, the router reboots and now I am picking up a fake address not a real one from comcast. The ip starts with fe80 and I have read that fc through fe addresses are not real routable addresses.
Has anyone else successfully configured an SRX5308 with Comcast?
