M4300-24X24F no IPv6

[bwarriner]

We have a M4300-24X24F that we've been using now since late 2016, recently we added some additional VLANs that have IPv6 address space tied to them.

The connected devices can route IPv4 no problem, but IPv6 doesn't seem to want to work at all.

I took the extra step of adding a VLAN the provides DHCP/DHCPv6 and it provides the IPv4 address no problem, but per wireshark never even sees the DHCPv6 traffic - in fact I see no IPv6 traffic anywhere on this switch.

I upgraded it to Software Version 12.0.7.10, but that seems to have made no difference.

I saw that a previous version of firmware fixed an IPv6 issue https://kb.netgear.com/31345/M4300-Firmware-Version-12-0-2-6

Either way I am unsure what you need from me in so far as configuration or additional information, just let me know.

Thanks!

Hi @bwarriner,

Welcome to the community! 🙂 

Is the IPv6 Mode enabled on all interfaces?  To check, login to the web-GUI of the M4300-24X24F switch then go to Routing > IPv6 > Advanced > Interface Configuration.  Set the IPv6 Mode to Enable on all interfaces.  Then, observe if the same problem occurs.
