IPv6 Prefix Delegation to customers.

Fri Jan 17 00:51:45 UTC 2020

Brandon,

Juniper routers also snoop on via the built-in DHCP relay for the prefix delegation (PD).   The PD routes are inserted into the routing table as "access" routes with a next-hop of the WAN DHCP lease address for the CPE.  I normally configure all this in a BGP signaled L3VPN that automatically propagates these "access" routes to the routers through my MPLS network.  To link the PD pool of /48 prefixes to the right PE-CE access subnet, you create a shared-subnet in the DHCPv6 server that includes the /48 prefixes and the WAN prefix.

forwarding-options {
    dhcp-relay {
        dhcpv6 {
            overrides {
                allow-snooped-clients;
            }
            group group1 {
                active-server-group server-group1;
                relay-agent-interface-id {
                    use-option-82;
                }
                interface ae0.10;
            }
            server-group {
                server-group1 {
                   /* Central DHCPv6 servers */
                    2603:0:0:100::5;
                    2603:0:0:101::5;
                }
            }
        }
        forward-only;
        server-group {
            server-group1 {
                10.10.10.11;
                10.10.11.11;
            }
        }
        group group1 {
            active-server-group server-group1;
            overrides {
                allow-snooped-clients;
                layer2-unicast-replies;
                trust-option-82;
            }
           /* I only enable route-suppression of access routes for IPv4 */
            route-suppression {
                access-internal;
            }
            interface ae0.10;
        }
    }
}

    Arista/Cisco have commands like this:

    ipv6 dhcp relay install routes

    You place on the interface to make this happen.

In this case, the Cisco itself is installing a route as it snoops the relay action automatically. This was one of the harder things to wrap my head around before just slapping it in to see what happened and bam, routes. Router gets a WAN IP from the loopback via DHCPv6 as well, then gets PD assigned after.

In my environment I don’t run the DHCP server process on the router that is directly connected to the clients. I have seen documentation that cisco and juniper DHCPv6 processes are smart enough to insert that prefix into the routing table when they hand it out, but how is this handled in an environment with a central DHCP server? I do not currently run any PPPOE in my environment and I don’t use RADIUS for the subscriber management. I would really just like to stick to DHCP ideally.
