Hi Wido,

DHCPv6 is not an option?

It is poorly implemented in many Operating Systems. Address obtaining does not work. I have seen it fail too many times.

It enables feature parity between IPv4 and IPv6 in context of VR.


IPv6 != IPv4. IPv6 was also never designed with DHCPv6 for Address Distribution. DHCPv6 was only added to send additional options towards a client.

Or there are some advantages in RA and SLAAC?


Yes. Router Advertisements are *mandatory*. Without the RA a VM will never learn it's default gateway(s).

By sending the prefix in the RA the VM can autoconfigure and has connectvitity.

This already works in Basic networking and Advanced Networking in Shared Networks.

Security Grouping prevents spoofing of MACs and IPv6 addresses. It also filters away RAs coming from VMs, etc, etc.

Hi Wido,

What is benefit of using Route Advertisement on internal VR networks?


The VMs need the Router Advertisement to learn their default gateway.
That's the only way with IPv6.

The RA also contains the prefix (/64) which the VMs can use to calculate
their IPv6 address (SLAAC).

In drawing VR is in VPC mode how it will work for isolated network where 
external link/ip is not assigned initially?

But you still need routing. See the attached PNG (and draw.io XML).

You need to route the /48 subnet TO the VR which can then route it to
the Virtual Networks behind the VR.

There is no other way then routing with either BGP or a Static route.

Or explain like this :

1) Cloudstack generate list of /64 subnet from /48 that Network admin
assigned to Cloudstack
2) Cloudsack allocated the subnet (that generated from step1) to Virtual
Router, one Virtual Router have one subniet /64
3) Virtual Router allocate single IPv6 (within the range of /64
allocated to VR)  to VM

      Hi Wido,

      I think the /48 is at physical router as gateway , and subnet of /64
      at VR of Cloudstack.   Cloudstack only keep which /48 prefix and
      vlan information of this /48 to be later split the  /64. to VR.

      And the instances is getting singe IPv6 of /64  IP.   The VR is
      getting /64.  The default gateway shall goes to /48 of physical
      router ip .   In this case ,does not need any BGP router .


      Similar concept as IPv4 :

      /48 subnet of IPv6 is equivalent to current /24 subnet of IPv4 that
      created in Network.
      and /64  of IPv6 is equivalent to single IP of IPv4 assign to VM.

          But NAT is truly not the solution with IPv6. IPv6 is supposed to be
          routable. In addition you should avoid DHCPv6 as much as
          possible as
          that's not really the intended use-case for address allocation
          with IPv6.

          In order to route an /48 IPv6 subnet to the VR you have a few
          possibilities:

          - Static route from the upperlying routers which are outside of
          CloudStack
          - BGP
          - OSPFv3 (broken in most cases!)
          - DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation

          BGP and/or Static routes are still the best bet here.

          So what you do is that you tell CloudStack that you will route
          2001:db8::/48 to the VR, the VR can then use that to split it up
          into
          multiple /64 subnets going towards the instances:

          - 2001:db8::/64
          - 2001:db8:1::/64
          - 2001:db8:2::/64
          ...
          - 2001:db8:f::/64

          And go on.

          In case of BGP you indeed have to tell the VR a few things:

          - It's own AS number
          - The peer's address(es)

          With FRR you can simply say:

          neighbor 2001:db8:4fa::179 remote-as external

          The /48 you need to have at the VR anyway in case of either a
          static
          route or BGP.

          We just need to add a NullRoute on the VR for that /48 so that
          traffic
          will not be routed to the upper gateway in case of the VR can't
          find a
          route.
