IPv6 Unable to set up router in relay mode for IPv6 addresses over DHCPv6
See original GitHub issueThis is a feature request.
Here is the config I want to archive. I have marked how the defaults (on Designated Driver) needs to be changed for my setup to work with my ISP (having my clients behind my router receiving global IPv6 addresses from my ISPs DHCPv6):
/etc/config/dhcp
config dhcp 'lan'
option interface 'lan'
option start '100'
option limit '150'
option leasetime '12h'
option ra 'relay' # Changed to relay
option dhcpv6 'relay' # Changed to relay
option ndp 'relay' # Added
# Section commented
#config dhcp 'wan'
# option interface 'wan'
# option ignore '1'
# Section added
config dhcp 'wan6'
option interface 'wan6'
option dhcpv6 'relay'
option ra 'relay'
option ndp 'relay'
option master '1'
Interfaces - LAN - [Edit] - DHCP Server - IPv6 Settings takes care of the first section by setting Router Advertisement-Service, DHCPv6-Service and NDP-Proxy to relay mode.
But (as far as I know) there is no way to:
- Get rid of the dhcp ‘wan’ section and (not sure if this is needed)
- Add the dhcp ‘wan6’ section including the relay options (this is needed for this setup to work)
Edit: Fund I mistakenly called the file network where it should have been dhcp

@cshoredaniel sorry, for late reply, I’ve not tried it but I could if you think it would help solving the problem, to me it looks like a rather complicated setup to solve a simple (?) problem. I’m not sure I understand what problem decomposing into different VLANs is supposed to solve or how it relates to the fact that I’m unable to use Luci to configure my router into a working configuration, this bug report is meant toward finding a solution to that problem.
To recap: I try to set my network up in the most common sense way I can think of that actually works with my ISP, please let me know if I’m somehow mistaken here as my knowledge of networking is limited. Since IPv6 addresses are globally unique to me it makes sense to have each client have their own so they are addressable therefore the router should let these assignments from my ISP’s DHCP through, but since most of the world is still IPv4 the router still needs to be configured for IPv4 NAT. With a default config, this does not work for me, I’ve failed to find a way to use the Luci interface to archive this configuration, I did however find a way to configure the router manually as documented above that worked (until it broke by the update, but I think this is most likely due to an unrelated bug as the config above is rather straight forward and based entirely on the information I could find on the IPv6 guide on openwrt.org).
