IPv6 prefix delegation automatic null route - lost packets

Marcel Maeder

Level 4

I have an issue with IPv6 prefix delegation over PPPoE. When my router gets his v6-prefix delegated, it automatically creates a null route for this prefix. The problem is that I also have a static route to my firewall for the whole prefix, so now the router has two equal routes for the prefix (the null route and my static route). All devices behind my firewall loosing packages. How can I fix this?

Topology: [ISP-BRIDGE] -{PPPoE} fa0/0- [ROUTER] -fa0/1- [Firewall]

[EDIT]

I found two other people with the same Problem, here and here. They both just configured two more specific routes. In my example it would be two /49 routes. But I don't think that is the proper solution for this problem.
