BNG heavy weight in gateway selection

Please either fix the BNG's to work properly on dhcp6 or remove them from the round robin on the ipv6 accounts, thanks.

Re: BNG heavy weight in gateway selection

for me if I select dhcp it allocates a different prefix.  so it does work but allocates a different prefix.
If I try to manually configure the same ip that the non BNG allocates there is no traffic, its dead.

Re: BNG heavy weight in gateway selection

andy by the way do you know if can reconfigure ipv6 somehow manually without dropping ppp? as all I need to do to fix mine is probably make the router request the prefix from plusnet.

Re: BNG heavy weight in gateway selection

You can do it from telnet I think.
If you do it from the GUI, it restarts the DHCP/PPP daemons and will drop the connection.

Re: BNG heavy weight in gateway selection

so what commands you used?
at a guess I think I am missing an ipv6 gateway.  I am assuming there is a way to trigger a dhcp refresh on ipv6 to kick start it.
