IPv6 support on PPPoE

Hello

Am I see right that there is no dualstack support on PPPoE connection (in single session) ? Is there any plan to support this in the future?

    Hi @Des
    At this current time the firebox only supports IPv4 via PPPoE, and doesn't support dual stack. There is a feature request to support this, and it's FBX-6143.

    There isn't a current ETA on this feature.

    If you'd like to follow that feature request, please create a support case, and mention FBX-6143 somewhere in the case. The tech assigned the case can set it up to follow that request for you.

  • NormanNorman

    is this FBX-6143 solved or is there a workaround ?

    Hi @Norman
    This specific issue is currently with our development team whom is working on what subtasks need to be completed in order for this to be successfully implemented.

    @Norman that feature request is currently in progress, but there is not an ETA or target release associated with it at this time. I would assume it's at least a year out at this point.

    It is now 14 Sep 2024.

    As a newcomer to Watchguard stuff and having wasted 45 minutes trying to get an IPv6 address up via my router, I continue to be disappointed by Watchguard's shunning of IPv6.

    I have worked with virtually all major vendors and I don't think I've ever encountered a company that boycotts IPv6 like Watchguard does.

    For example of this:
    https://community.watchguard.com/watchguard-community/discussion/198/need-ipv6-addresses-on-multiple-external-interfaces

    It is incredibly disappointing to have such basic features missing from an internet gateway in this day and age.

    100% agree

    any news on this, IPv6 is over 25 years old now
