IPv6 / DHCPv6 with S350 Smart Switches (GS324T / GS348T)
Wie Renefw in diesem Thread gemeldet hat funktioniert die IPv6 Adressvergabe von z.B. FritzBox Routern nicht über S350 Smart Switches. Die Clients erhalten keine IPv6 Adresse und können somit keine I...

Configuring settings can have DHCPv6 packets forwarded
Enable IGMP snooping globally.
Enable IGMP snooping on the VLAN that DHCPv6 packets are forwarded.
Enable Multicast Router on the ports where DHCP server and clients are connected.See attached example.

WilsonS,
I have tested it and it works in my case for internal LAN and external WAN with IPv6 DHCP and forwarding of IPv6 packets.
Enable IGMP snooping globally.
Enable IGMP snooping on the VLAN that DHCPv6 packets are forwarded.
Enable Multicast Router on the ports where DHCP server and clients are connected (in my case all 52 including ISP WAN)Check the MFDB Table for forwarding Interfaces and test IPv6 connectifity after fresh DHCP request:
Thanks for the solution and best regards! - Nmaas87Aug 19, 2024Aspirant
Same issue here with a Netgear GS324T, SW 1.0.0.43
I have really looked everywhere why IPv6 did not work... and finally landed here.
Snooping is globally deactivated and this does not make it work, need to check if globally enabling it and globally enabling routing to all ports does make it better (because everyone should get Dual Stack). - Nmaas87Aug 19, 2024Aspirant
Ok, a quick check later and it does not work.
I have done the changes as suggested by koeber
My network of Dual Stack clients is actually very flat, so only VLAN 1 needs to be enabled. MFDB Statistics only shows a "01:00:5e:7f:ff:fa" MAC, which is not one of my devices. I tried several configurations and changes, but seems like this switch does not work. How to solve that bug?
- Nmaas87Aug 19, 2024Aspirant
After trying for some time I got it working - which was nice.
Sadly the solution does not survive a reboot of the switch.
With that I guess there is nothing more to do than scrap the switch and look for another vendor?

I'm working on this issue.

It's planned to deliver a software patch to fix this issue.
