IPV6 in load balancing mode on SRX5308
If you have more them one internet connect you cannot use IPV6, because IPV6 is only available in Primary WAN Mode. Also you lose all you’re settings when you change from Load Balancing to Primary WAN Mode or from Primary WAN to Load Balancing Mode, which is very frustrating.
GS724Tv4 IGMP Snooping on a VLAN breaks IPV6 Multicast on same VLAN, Still after over 1.5yrs.
The "workaround" about doing it at port level is not 100%, seems alot of Multicast stream are missed and not reported in the switch in that config. When setup at the VLAN level it works 100% like its suposed to for IPv4, but ofcourse that breaks IPv6. This needs to be addressed, and apprently its on this whole "family" of switches based on other post here. EDIT: and this is with the latest firmware of 6.3.1.16
vlan (ipv6 futureproofing)
Hi, We have a SRX5308 and a couple of FVS336 as well as a few other routers. We are futureproofing our corporate network by deploying ipv6 in parallel of ipv4. our address scheme was chosen as to be as simple for the admins as possible : ipv4 : 10.bbb.ccc.ddd (where bbb also denotes the vlan) ipv6 : fdgg:gggg:gggg:bbb::ccc:ddd:1 it's been deployed within the network, and it runs fine, no issues. our primary firewall-routerchain (not netgear) is also updated and works. I'm now trying to configure one of the netgear, and I'm discovering the issue where the ipv6 mode doesn't support vlan (at least through the GUI). is there any way to actually make ot work (telnet ?) or am I wasting my time, and should at some point replace them with other hardware ?configuring the FVS318Gv2 for IPv6
I have a new FVS318Gv2 with the very latest firmware update, everything is running fine. Am now experimenting with some of the settings (I know, I should leave well enough alone!), and am confused about the IPv6 configuration. My ISP, Spectrum (formely Time Warner Cable) has rolled out IPv6, I've confirmed this by looking at the status on my Netgear Cable modem (and reading Spectrum online documentation). According to the Netgear reference manual, to change to IPv6 in the Prosafe you go to Network Configuration>WAN Settings>WAN mode and change the Routing Mode from "IPv4 Only" to "IPv4 / IPv6 mode." That part went fine, the router rebooted and came back online. The second part involves going to the next tab over, "Broadband ISP settings," and clicking the "IPv6" radio button in the upper right. For the Internet Address dropdown menu I"ve chosen DHCPv6 and selected the "Stateless Address Auto Configuration" radio button below. When I click the "apply" button at the bottom it says "Operation succeeded." When I click "status" it shows a good connection with an IPv6 address. But when I click out of that tab to somewhere else in the admin, it goes back to showing the "IPv4" radio button selected in the upper right. It's like the IPv6 settings I just saved get undone as soon as I leave. Any insights as to why this might be happening? Thanks.Orbi loosing IPv6 routing ability consistently
I have a consistent problem with a (latest firmware) Orbi system in that it continues to loose IPv6 fucntionality (but not addresses) - and this seems to mirror a bug Netgear has with other routers as well. I have native dual-stack - and I use DHCP to successfully get IPv6 addresses. All my devices get dual-stack addresses and work - for about 1-3 days. Then, while my devices all retain their IPv6 routing info (as does Orbi), there is NO communication on '6' anymore. I need to refresh and "Apply" in the Orbi IPv6 pane to fix it - but have to do that literally every day now. There have been other posts with IPv6 tunnel and other (non-native) implemntaitons. What gives? Something Netgear is working on? thxCant login to openDNS from genie
My router is a DGN2200 A few problems - how do I know what version I have as it does not seem to say anywhere - does that mean that this version will not work with Genie? I managed to use the Genie App the first time I login in and changed the parental controls itbut now it comes back with the message "Netgear router not found or is not supported. Make sure that your mobile device is not connected to the router's guest network and the the iPv6 is not enabled" Okay so how do I know if I am connected to the "guest network"?? What is iPv6? Is my login what is written on my router? I am finding this really hard to navigate through please help
Guest isolation in AP mode works on latest firmware...almost (tl;dr IPv4 is OK, IPv6 not so much)
The good: Things work like you'd expect - you can reach the Internet but nothing on the local network except DHCP and DNS. The bad: If your network has IPv6, it completely bypasses isolation. Netgear, thank you for putting the effort in to get this right for IPv4, but please don't forget it's increasingly an IPv6 world out there. Please add proper isolation for IPv6 in the same manner you already are for IPv4. Rodney
