IPv6: Ask for help: No re-connect to v6

Issue:
Turris can not provide v6-Internet if the upstream Internet-router was rebooted (or was completely down).

Normal:
Turris provides v6 + v4 to hosts in the network, works mostly fine.
v4 (static) always operational.

Question:

  • How can I overcome this v6 failure?
  • How to enable Turris to re-connect v6 ?
  • Workaround in dhcp possible? Known bug??
    Thank you very much in advance for help and hints!!

Situation / Details

Devices

  • requesting router: Turris Omnia - rtrom01, OS 3.11.4, ICMP Reachable, config firewall, routing: factory default;
  • delegating router: Fritz 7430, FRITZ!OS 07.01
  • Layout: like in RFC 3633 page 3 :slight_smile:
    (+ 2. Turris for testing purpose having default factory settings; same behaviour like 1st Turris)
  • ISP: v6 native Hansenet + v4 Telefonica; v6 native Hansenet provides Prefix Delegation

Case 1:

First boot Fritz. When up and connected boot up Turris. Hosts are connected to Turris by Ethernet LAN (+ WLAN hosts)
Works fine.
Hosts connect via v6 or v4 to Internet.
IA-PD from Fritz is fine.
„ip a“ on hosts shows global address like
inet6 2a01:c23:6859:5bfc::8c0/128 scope global dynamic noprefixroute
inet6 2a01:c23:6859:5bfc:30df:de32:64:7fa5/64 scope global temporary dynamic
inet6 2a01:c23:6859:5bfc:76da:38ff:fea1:2659/64 scope global dynamic mngtmpaddr noprefixroute
Turris shows in Luci-GUI:
Typ: dhcpv6-pd
Prefix Delegated: 2a01:c23:6859:5bfc::/62
Adresse: 2a01:c23:6859:5b00:da58:d7ff:fe00:268c/64
Gateway: fe80::7eff:4dff:fec6:f7a
DNS 1: fd00::7eff:4dff:fec6:f7a

Case 2:

We start like case 1, everything fine.
Then reboot Fritz. Or power down Fritz. Then reboot Fritz. Immediately or hours later (no difference).
Unchanged: Turris, Hosts (permanently up and running).
Problem:

  • No v6 connect to Internet any more for Hosts (LAN, WLAN). Does not come back within hours.

inet6 2a01:c23:6859:5bfc:76da:38ff:fea1:2659/64 scope global deprecated dynamic mngtmpaddr noprefixroute
all ping-able.

DNS 1: fd00::7eff:4dff:fec6:f7a

Case 3:
Case 1 + Case 2 + Turris rebooted
Works fine like Case 1.

netifd is outdated/buggy in TOS3.x and this might be just another bug. TOS4.x b1 might cure the issue.

additional difference between failure and working found. Unfortunately I do not understand what it means. Can you help explaining to me, please?:

Did you try TOS4.x beta 1 and see whether it makes a difference? If it is a bug in netifd in TOS3.x it is likely not going to be patched and thus hardly worth to investigate/bother.

If you are familiar with the schnapps concept it will hardly take 30 minutes to give it a try with TOS4.x beta 1 and switch back to TOS3.x, if wanted.

NO.

No, the IPv6 connection is NOT re-established after reboot of upstream internet device (Fritz).
The OS version is actually 4.0 in my second Turris.
It works if I reboot the Turris, too. ICMP is no issue any longer. Fine.

The bug about reconnecting IPv6 is not solved. Host can not use IPv6 after temp outage of upstream router. Reproducible.
IPv4 is working as expected.

Beside that:
Sparse communication, good idea. You guys do a good job and I want to say: Thank you!

About the new version (4beta1) I’d like to remark:

[…removed and moved …]

Best regards, Dietmar

Thanks for spending your time and effort!

Too bad that it does not sort the issue.


There is a particular thread for (lodging) feedback on Turris OS 4.0 beta1 is released! which is also watched by the developers.


About the DNS upstream resolver - that all can be done but (currently) neither via Foris or LuCI, least not if either kresd or unbound is utilized as local caching resolver.
The corresponding LuCI setting is just for dnsmasq and bypassing any local caching resolver, whilst the Foris settings being parsed to kresd.

Thanks a lot for the swift and competent reply!

I took your suggestions to heart and moved the points about 4beta feedback.

I understand: Having no IPv6 available in host machines after reboot of Internet router can currently be addressed by workaround only. No fix in reach.
OK, so I have to restart network service from cron frequently. Not smart but possible.

Thanks a lot for your time and effort!

There might be some solution - it is just that I cannot see where/how.

I would expect that if the F-box is rebooting or shutdown/started there would be media sensing (link down / up) in the TO and thus invoking the hotplug scripts related to network connectivity.
Either that is not happening for some reason, and thus could be a bug in the TOS, or the F-Box has some issue to propagate/communicate the ipv6 relevant data downstream to the TO.

Did you try some other client, e.g. laptop/desktop, directly on the F-Box upon reboot/shutdown/start? Would such client exhibit that same issue - which would indicate some issue with the F-Box?

If you suspect that the TO is at fault you could open a ticket with the TO developers at https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/turris/turris-os-packages. Or first seek input from a broader user base here https://forum.openwrt.org.

Last but not least, since the network packages for TOS4.x are streamed directly from the OpenWRT 18.06 feeds, and thus are OpenWRT scope, you could also open a ticket with them https://bugs.openwrt.org

Could you please verify that you have same delegated IPv6 range before and after fritz-box restart? You have to trigger network reconfiguration on Turris after f-box restart with /etc/init.d/network restart.

I think that what is happening is that fritz reboots without breaking link but it might not automatically delegate IPv6 range. That means that Turris does not know that upstream router no longer knows about it and won’t ask for IPv6 range. IPv4 still works because fritz for sure uses same IP range.

You might not need to restart whole Turris to fix this. It should be enough to trigger DHCPv6. The easiest way to do that is to just restart networking all together (/etc/init.d/network restart).

Did you try FRITZ!OS 7.10 yet?

“… try FRITZ!OS 7.10…” Good idea.

Unfortunately there is no such version available for Fritz7430. The model I use is 7430 :frowning:
In some weeks I’ll beable to test with Fritz7590 at a friend.

Thanks for taking care!

Restart:
In 90% a manual network restart makes Turris work with v6 (after Fritz reboot, soft or current).
I can put the network restart in cron and … well, sometimes works, sometimes not. However.
When I put “reboot” in Turris cron Turris always works fine afterwards.

Turris OS is 4beta1.

Could you please verify that you have same delegated IPv6 range before and after fritz-box restart?

Do not fully understand. I think we only talk about the global addresses. Not ULA, right? What part of v6 address you mean with “range”? I need help to understand.

I think that what is happening is that fritz reboots without breaking link but it might not automatically delegate IPv6 range.

Probably. After Fritz shutdown Turris immediately recognises v6 is gone (Status overview LuCI). And then something does not take happen. (v4 is always immediately working auto and static - the way it should be)

I have no idea if Fritz is not sending something or Turris can not ask.
RFC3633 tells us:
" A requesting router requests prefix(es) from the delegating router, as described in Section 12.1. The delegating router chooses prefix(es) for delegation, and responds with prefix(es) to the requesting router. The requesting router is then responsible for the delegated prefix(es)."
This means Turris has to ask for PD.
Works after Turris reboot and often works after Turris network restart.

I just do not know how Turris becomes aware that Fritz is back and operational.
In v4 it works …

How should that work? Is there s description somewhere?

As soon as Turris knows it makes sense to ask Fritz for PD then … ?what? Who does what? One of them fails to do the job for IPv6.

Turris “logread” is available. Is it possible to see in logread what goes wrong??

Not sure that this will help, but here’s the link to the current firmware for your box:

Though not clear and If not mistaken your ISP provides a /56 ipv6 range to downstream, e.g. 2a01:c23:742e:f400::/56 and the TO then utilizes that range for its downstream clients with a /64 range.

I think the question was aimed whether that ipv6 pd/range (2a01:c23:742e:f400::/56) remains the same after each reboot/start of the FB, which would commonly be the case with ipv6 PD with most ISP.


What should happen, in native ipv6 via dhcp pd, is

  1. ISP advertises ipv6 pd/range to FB (e.g. 2a01:c23:742e:f400::/56)
  2. FB advertising ivp6 pd/range to downstream clients, in your case to the TO
  3. TO then advertising ipv6 to its downstream clients

The issue appears in step 2, either the FB behaving erroneously or the TO but I am not sure of how to further debug this, other than perhaps trying a new FB OS or modem/router other than a FB.

Also, you did not respond to

Very good analysis and very quick. Thank you!

Cool - I was not able to find it. Thanks for the hint.
I’ll give it a try asap.
Thx!

UPDATE:
Today AVM provided the update via semi-automatic update from out of the GUI. 7.10 is applied now to 7430.

NO better in behaviour, problem still exists.
Rebooting FritzBox (current or GUI) leads to missing v6 connect by TO
:frowning:

Since Fritz 7.10 and a few system restarts I can not connect to IPv6 with any TO any more. Both devices do not connect to v6 any longer.

One more thing - if you follow OpenWRT upstream development or look at their bug tracker | filtered to ipv6 trunk and 18.06 you will see that there are plenty of issues with ipv6 and one or the other could pertain to this issue, that if TO is at fault and not the FB…

Also note that upstream trunk refers to their Master development, the future OpenWRT 19.x | TOS5.x branches, and patches are not always implemented/backported in current OpenWRT 18.x | TOS4.x branches

That is too bad…

If you want to get to the bottom of it and invest a bit time/effort you could run a tcpdump on the TO and analyse with a tool like wireshark the packet traffic between the FB (when rebooting/cold started) and the TO.
It should reveal whether the TO is requesting the ipv6 from upstream and also whether the FB is broadcasting it to the TO, respectively whether the packages are reaching the TO.
To my knowledge AVM does not provision tcpdump in their proprietary OS for the FB.

If I am not mistaken the tcpdump packet capture should cover traffic on UDP ports 546 and 547, e.g. on the TO via ssh cli

tcpdump -i [put the TO wan6 iface name here] udp portrange 546-547 -XXevvvw /tmp/[name your dump file here]

Once the capture is done download the dump file from /tmp via ssh to a client that runs wireshark and import the dump file for inspection

There is https://openwrt.org/packages/pkgdata/watchcat with corresponding https://openwrt.org/packages/pkgdata/luci-app-watchcat. It will not cure the issue (potential bug) but might better than cron, though I have not tried it.

Results:
Yes: All clients (hosts: Laptop and Desktop, Linux) directly connected to FritzBox do have full IPv6 access. No matter if Fritz rebooted hard or via GUI. Via Ethernet and WLAN. ipv6-test.com shows green :wink:

No connect any more if TO is in between (before FritzOS 7.10 it worked after TO reboot).

I exchanged the Fritz7430 against the provider box (o2 6441): IPv6 is operational for hosts (Ethernet)! Same host, same box, TO : no ipv6 connect for host.
TO (nr. 2) was resetted to factory settings: no different behaviour, no v6 traffic
No idea if this provider box o2 6441 can do PD properly.
Next I need to reset the Fritz7430 to factory (I can not go back to FritzOS 7.01, refuses). Will take some days.
