RN628x / 6.9.4 / IPv6 issues
Hello,
just got my shiny new RN628X, installed the harddisks and latest OS updates and now it shows some really odd behaviour when configuring IPv6 on eth2 (first 10GE port).
I want to use static...
All right, found out how to fix this but it sounds like a bad joke to me having to do this on a $$$$ NAS. IMHO working networking is one of the basics I should expect of a NAS. Backed up the network config, found out how the NAS handles this. Looking at the configfile /var/lib/connman/ethernet_MAC_cable/settings via ssh I can see the line "IPv6.netmask_prefixlen=54" although the webinterface clearly shows 64 everywhere. Correcting this using connmanctl and then "config ethernet_MAC_cable --ipv6 manual whatever:1::1011 64 whatever:100:1::1" fixes this issue. So something between the webinterface<>real config seems to be amiss.
I'd suggest raising a case with Netgearr (You get 90 days free support) so they can document this bug and have it remediated in later versions.
I do think the interfaces could do with more extensive testing.
