When are Draytek going to take ipv6 seriously and either produce routers that support it or release firmware to enable support for the likes of the 2820 series?
On a quick search, the only router i can find that supports ipv6 is the 2130. Hell, even the 'new' 2830 doesn't seem to support ipv6.
A statement from Draytek would be most welcome.. but considering most companies 'head in the sand' attitude I'm not holding my breath.

I agree, we're supposed to be running out of IPv4 addresses this year. I use these routers for customer sites and my own home too, and if it doesn't support IPv6 then it's going to be useless to me, will have to find someone that does!

2820 will definitely transport an IP6 over IP4 tunnel (protocol 41) because I tried it yesterday. Now I know that's not an answer to the question but it s useful to know.

I wonder if the reason that the 2130 is 'IPV6 Ready' is because it has the 'Up to 800Mb/s WAN Throughput' so it must have a faster CPU and/or a shed load of extra ram in it??

Looks like the 2830 has the same routing core as the 2820 but with upgraded WAN/LAN/WLAN chips (more gigabit & dual band 11n).

Hi,

What did you do to support the protocol-41 traffic? I tried a few months back and couldn't get it to work.

I didn't do anything really special. I used tunnelbroker.net to set up a "regular tunnel" using the public ip on my router as the end point.

I'm using a linux pc with the following commands (supplied by tunnelbroker.net): -
Code:
ifconfig sit0 up ifconfig sit0 inet6 tunnel ::216.66.80.26 ifconfig sit1 up ifconfig sit1 inet6 add 2001:470:xxxx:xxxx::2/64 route -A inet6 add ::/0 dev sit1


Then I can: -
> ping6 ipv6.google.com
PING ipv6.google.com(2a00:1450:8002::63) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 2a00:1450:8002::63: icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=28.1 ms

6 packets transmitted, 6 received, 0% packet loss, time 5007ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 28.077/28.228/28.388/0.146 ms

and browse http://ipv6.google.com with firefox or chrome.

Wireshark shows proto 41 at my PC.

On the router the traffic appears in the nat table with a port num of zero.

Router fw is 3.3.4.1_232201 but the router is not my DNS, I have an internal DNS server forwarding to plus.net DNSs. I do not know if the 2820 works properly for AAAA lookups.

I noticed that the CLI command, "show port", lists tho protocol number of nat sessions. Which looks useful.
