WAN IPv6 Prefix Delegation doesn't work
I bought recently a new FVS328Gv2 as replacment for an older D-Link DIR-825. The FVS318Gv2 is connected to an AVM Fritz!Box 6490 which is the internet access router of my provider. The Fritz!Box 6490...

Hi DaneA, dear community,
here some more update acc. to IPv6 prefix delegation on WAN side. The last problem I was struggeling around was, that I used a VLAN configuration on my FVS318Gv2 which was not compatible with IPv6 prefix delegation. I had some more disscusions with the help of NETGEAR support and figured out that delegated IPv6 prefixes are alway attached to VLAN1 the default VLAN.
I got the following advise from the support:
So if you are using prefix delegation, you accept that the subnet associated with the particoular hosts is always the same (and it should not be if you are using different VLANs). In our case, RADVD (Router Advertisement Daemon) is making the choice for us and it picks automatically VLAN 1 when he try to assign an IPv6 address to the clients. This done according to the standards that define RADVD.
So folks that all for this topic.
Which you you a pleasant new year.
Regards
Andreas
