Hey Nanog,

 

I am in the process of building out a FTTH proof of concept, and I would really like to offer each of my customers a /48 of IPv6.

I’ve been able to announce my /32 to my upstreams, dual-stack all of my internal infrastructure no-problem, build v6 recursive name servers, etc.

This was fairly straight-forward.

 

Where I am struggling is the Prefix Delegation part. How are most folks getting the PD subnets into their IGPs? 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.

 

If anyone has any pointers, I would appreciate it.
