IPv6 Support

With Software version 4.6.0.100 we started IPv6 Integration. Currently we support ipv6 on WAN only

General

Netmodule device only support global scope addresses, which basically means WAN/WWAN interfaces can connect to existing IPv6 infrastructure and are also useable in VPN Tunnel structures.

Please notice as well as in IPv4, providers still blocking incoming connections on the boarder gateway in their IPv6 network. For this reason it not set and done to have a “real” public ipv6 address.

DualStack Mode

The dualstack implementation provides complete ipv4 and ipv6 protocol stack and allows parallel operation on the same network interface. It has been integrated as “Transition Strategy” to provide a soft transition into the ipv6 address space.

Telekom has no available ipv6 DNS server address, which will automatically be assigned to the ipv6 client. You need to define public DNS server addresses in our WEB GUI.

Setup IPv6 WWAN Interface

1. define IP version

We going to select “ipv6”.

2. define ipv6 APN

In this example we are using a SIM Card by “O2”. The Provider has also ipv6 availablity on their typical APN “internet”.

After the setting has been applied the interface is ready to use.
