Cisco 867VAE IPv6 over PPPoA/PPPoE (IPV6CP)

[Olivier Dijoux]

Hi,

my ISP is offering native IPv6 ADSL, so i get a brand new Cisco 867VAE ISR to do IPv6 over PPPoA/PPPoE, via IPV6CP

C867VAE (CISCO867VAE-K9) come with "ADVANCED SECURITY" level, IOS 15.1

system image file is "flash:c860vae-advsecurityk9-mz.151-4.M3.bin"

that's the highest license level, since "ADVANCED IP SERVICES" seems not available for 860VAE models

so i checked "Cisco Feature Navigator" where i can see that for platform Cisco 867VAE,

the following features are "available" :

IPv6 Access Services: PPPoA

IPv6 Access Services: PPPoE

but i'm afraid C867VAE, with IOS "ADVANCED SECURITY", doesn't support IPV6CP,

(and i see DHCPv6 is not present anyway), can someone help me to confirm ?

IPv4 is working fine, but no IPV6CP negotiation during PPP (see my config extract below)

"debug ppp nego" doesn't show any IPV6CP at all, only got this persistent error in show log :

-

000422: *Apr  6 07:28:21.817 CEST: Vi2 PPP: Outbound ipv6 packet dropped, NCP not negotiated

-

so can Cisco 867VAE really do IPv6 over PPPoA/PPPoE throughout IPV6CP ?

or did i forgot any command to activate/allow it ?

Thanks for you help

Olivier

relevant part of my configuration :

!

From your output, the ipv6 packet is dropped outbound.

no input from debug ppp nego, so it doesn´t even try to negotiate.

try putting the interface as native ipv6, removing the acl, and ip address negotiated, you have ipv6 autoconfig.

your isp is offering native ipv6, not dual stack.

About the IOS, try upgrading for the latest release, like the 15.2(3)T, advanced security.

please if you fix it, i would like to know.

Thanks

Thanks, I tried,

also upgraded to latest IOS 15.2(3)T Advanced Security (c860vae-advsecurityk9-mz.152-3.T),

but still no IPV6CP at all in "debug ppp nego"

for now, i'll stay with my IPv6 Tunnel Broker ...

if someone know if PPP IPV6CP is possible (or not) on C867VAE ISR, please advise

Thanks for you help

Hi Olivier,

I've done some testing and I can get an 887VA working fine with IPv6 (running IOS 15.1(4)M4).  If I use the identical configuration on 867VAE with IOS 15.1(4)M4 - it does not work.

I've logged a TAC case about this as it looks like a bug to me.

Hi Scott,

thanks, please keep me informed when you got more info about your TAC case

best regards

Hi Olivier,

TAC have confirmed it's a bug and opened a new bug for this.

When this happens I ususally end up waiting 3 months + for a resolution, so if you want to see this move faster you'll need to open a TAC case also referencing bug

I'm running into the same problem - but next to that it appears that there is also no way to do prefix-delegation as a client) on the box. The neccesary commands under the dialer interface are missing... "ipv6 dhcp pd " is not there, neither is "ipv6 dhcp pool <...>"

Nice box, but these features need to be added, any other 8xx box runs this just fine on 12.4.

an update to say that bug CSCua08876 is fixed in IOS release "15.1.4M5" released 06/Sep/2012

IPV6CP now working fine on C867VAE

now missing ipv6 dhcp pd ;-)

IPv6 DHCP PD is working fine in :
