Singtel fibre and IPv6

[Arucard]

Yes. You log in to Onepass and then under the fibre connection entry there is Show Details there is a list of addons. IPv6 should be there.

I check already, don't have , is it must call in?

 

[liangtam]

I think can just apply in router and it will work immediately right?
Since 6rd is an earlier method developed for quick and easy way to up v6 connectivity

 

[liangtam]

liangtam,

Does that means SingTel's IPv6 deployment is kinda "tunnel" model and not "native" model?

Pardon my lack of in-depth knowledge on IPv6. So much development on IPv6 in recent years.

6rd is not native because of the need of a relay as shown in the settings above, but is not classified with the 2001:: or 2002:: prefix that is commonly associated with Tunneling (Teredo and 6to4)

The settings required to up v6 connectivity on singnet

Here's a Screenshot on what to set on my 友訊 router as example.

Well, thats it.

thks for the settings!

works fine on asus rt-ac68u.

Even Native has prefixes like 2001:: hence that is not the way to determine if native or tunnel.

Is 6rd a method of encapsulation of IPv6 over IPv4 to the relay which in turn acts as gateway to IPv6 routing?

how to apply for my rt n56u ? can screenshot?

thanks

thanks

Though I posted already? Just copy

 

[andr3wyong]

It’s tunneled. Time to document another flawed approach (single point of failure)…

 

[Arucard]

ok , i apply the settings on my rt n56u , internet works fine, can't see any differents. but my client side still using IPv4.

 

[liangtam]

Check under Status - IPv6 tab and see if your client manage to obtain v6 DHCP addr?
Else you might need to do a restart of your equipment

got ipv6 address

 

[Arucard]

Test your IPv6. passed

 

[gohkm]

Thanks, mine also pass the IPv6 test.

 

[lokedhs]

it is not available in the Add-ons for me...

You can't enable it from there. You have to go to a Singtel store to do it. Once it's enabled it should show up there.

Oh.. may I know what is the advantage of having ipv6 leh?

The immediate benefit is the ability to access IPv6-only services on the Internet. However, there are very few of those so unless you know of any specific ones you need, you probably don't have to bother.

There is also the benefit of being able to directly access any machine on your internal network without having to bother with mapping ports on internal machines to other ports on your router.

There are also benefits such as more efficient routing for example, and much simplified network management on your internal networks. That is, once you get all the initial setup done.

Can you give us the Singtel Store link?

 

[lokedhs]

You can't do it online. You have to physically go there. It's silly, yes.

yeah thanks for the explanation.

In consideration of my work load now, i think i shall not bother abt ipv6 yet. hahas

but weird , i input the settings in my asus router, i can get IPv6 now
