ipv6 slaac

[nikolsko]

Hi I am having issues getting slaac to work on a fortigate 60C I have my wan interface set with a static address. I have no issues pinging services through ipv6 from the fortigate unit itself. But it will not autoconfigure the units connected to the internal interface. set ip6-allowaccess ping https ssh set ip6-address 2001:000:000:1::1/64 set ip6-send-adv enable set autoconf enable Is the config for the internal side of it. Then I have. set ip6-allowaccess ping https ssh set ip6-address 2001:000:000::2/64 set ip6-send-adv enable set autoconf enable For the wan interface. with at default GW 2001:000:000::1/64 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You config is missing a lot. Follow my blog on autconf function and ipv6 on FGT http://socpuppet.blogspot.com/2012/12/ipv6-fortigate-style.html But you need to assign the prefix for starter. This one area most missed by fortigate configuration. Unlike cisco, it' s done automatically when you enable ipv6 on a interface.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried to change the config for the internal side so it matches your post. config ipv6 set ip6-allowaccess ping https ssh set ip6-address 2001:000:000:1::1/64 set ip6-send-adv enable set autoconf enable config ip6-prefix-list edit 2001:000:000::/64 set autonomous-flag enable set preferred-life-time 600 set valid-life-time 600 next end Still on the cisco in front i only see the fortigate itself, ant that registers as stale.

You need something like this; config ipv6 set ip6-address 2001:000:000:1::1/64 set ip6-allowaccess ping https ssh snmp config ip6-prefix-list edit 2001:000:000:1::/64 set autonomous-flag enable set preferred-life-time 600 set valid-life-time 600 next end set ip6-retrans-time 4000 set ip6-send-adv enable end next Does the cisco have ipv6 enable and auto for the address? Does it have layer-2 connectivity to FGT ( temp assign it a static of eui64 address and test with a ipv6 ping ) ? Does a host attached to a FGT pickup a stateless assign address ( MACOSX/LINUX/WINDOW/OpenBSD/etc.....)? What does your debug output show if anything other than cisco get' s address? If nothing get' s an address, once again start diagnostic and packet captures?

There I got it working. I used the config i had on the internal side. But on the cisco in front I put up an ipv6 linknet, on the vlan to the fortigate. So i assigned on the cisco side. 2001:0:0:0::1/64 Then on the fortigate 2001:0:0:0::2/64 I then used a static route for the 2001:0:0::/48 to the 2001:0:0:0::2/64 Then everything worked fine. As soon as i changed my fw policy to allow icmp6 this is not technically slaac is it. But it works. Thank you so much.

Seems I was a bit quick there. It worked for a while. Now I am not able to ping from the fortigate to ipv6 sites. The fortigate replies to ping packets through ipv6 though.

What are you trying todo? Do you have a topology drawing of the inside/outside interfaces and where the autconf clients are located at? Some how & from what your describing tells me , SLAAC is not what you want. SLAAC is trivial and a straight forward configuration

I can try and explain what I am after. I have a /48 prefix assigned by my ISP. This /48 prefix can be routed to me by putting it straight on the vlan that connects to me, or by using a /64 link net. This link net is not a part of my initial prefix. Right now it is setup using the link net configuration. I would prefer for the prefix to be assigned to my vlan directly though. And having the fortigate sit on a static ipv6 address for management. While my internal units automatically picks up their ipv6 configuration using slaac. I hope this was a better explanation of what I wanted. Thanks again for the help.

Why don' t you assign a /64 out of the /48 on the WAN link and divided the reminding 64k minus1 /64 for your internal vlans with SLAAC on the vlan interfaces. You can assign multiple /64 prefixes on one interface if required and you can have multiple ipv6 address per interface. Very simple see diagram;
