I got an edgerouter x, and I'm getting an IPv6 address on the WAN from my modem, but I'm not getting IPv6 on my LAN. Could this be an a lack of support from my ISP or does Ubiquiti have spotty IPv6 support? I'm seeing a lot of stuff online about emerging IPv6 support in newer firmware versions, and also about how to configure IPv6 on certain ISPs. I did some tinkering with the firewall rules and dhcpv6-pd, but no dice. Honestly I don't think I really need IPv6 but it'd be nice to have I guess. But probably not worth messing with if support is limited. I think it worked on my old linksys router, but I haven't taken the time to hook it back up to check  My ISP is Mediacom residential by the way Baxate fucked around with this message at 05:15 on Dec 11, 2016 |

Actuarial Fables posted:I had to reboot my Edgerouter Lite to get an IPv6 address on my LAN interface. Once I get home I'll share my ipv6 config that I've got on it. Thanks, I think I'm getting somewhere with this. A couple problems, however. If I put in a prefix-id of :1 or anything other than :0, I get an error that the prefix-id has to be less than :: I set eth1 (LAN) to prefix-id :0, but I was setting :1 to eth4 for my Wireless AP. I actually don't know, do the prefix-ids need to be different for different ports? If I use :0 for both will that be fine? But so far, I just have IPv6 set for eth1, and I'm getting an address on my PC. But Windows is showing my IPv6 DNS server as being blank, and it says No Network Access in the adapter properties E: yeah so I set my prefix as :0 on both eth1 and eth4, and I'm getting IPv6 addresses on both, but I still can't access the IPv6 internet Baxate fucked around with this message at 06:42 on Dec 13, 2016 |

Actuarial Fables posted:If you're not dual-stackin' IPv4 and IPv6, then we'll need to set up stateless DHCPv6 to give out DNS server addresses to clients. Some other operating systems can pick up addresses from the router-advertisement via RFC 6106, but not windows! lol, thanks, but I tried this and I ended up having to hard reset my router because it wouldn't start back up after a reboot  I think I'm gonna have to give up on IPv6 for now

I got this RJ45 crimper stripper combo tool from Monoprice, and despite having a place for stripping 8p cable, it always cuts one of my twisted pairs on my Cat6 cable. Comparing it to other tools online, the tool I have the stripper portion is two razors that clamp down on the cable then you pull the jacket off. Other tools look like they have a rounded cutout for the cable and one razor and you spin the tool around the cable. Is that the kind of thing I'm looking for? I'm about to run out to Home Depot and pick something up, so I'm just curious what to look for in a jacket stripper so I don't end up with the same problem. This is what I bought and maybe I should have just read the reviews because a bunch of them say the stripper is worthless https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=7035 Edit: so I had a random bit of Cat5 cable laying around and this tool strips it very well. So clearly that extra bit of insulation in Cat6 means I’ll need another kind of jacket stripper Baxate fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Jun 28, 2020 |

Thanks Ants posted:Just run a stanley knife around the cable and bend it until the jacket tears. If I was installing data cable all day I would buy the proper strip tools, but I maybe terminate four cables a year on average, so using a knife is fine. I’ll give that a shot, I got a spool of cable so it’s fine if I waste a little. I’ve just got a little project to run some cable from my router through my basement to my entertainment center. All told it’s probably about 8 cables with the network switch to hook up all my components. Beyond that I may never use these tools again.

H110Hawk posted:If I may make a suggestion, buy a workgroup switch for your entertainment center and just run 1 or 2 cables to that. Unless that's your plan already. Right yeah, just one cable through the basement. And then that's going to be connected to a switch on my entertainment center and I'm planning on making my own custom length patch cables to go from the switch to each component. I'm actually planning on connecting another room, so I'm putting a switch in the basement too. Using a utility knife to strip the cable turned out to be super easy. The tedious part is threading everything through the plastic insert for the terminal.

Is trying to get HomeKit Wifi devices connected to my special IOT network going to be a huge pain in the rear end? I have this Wifi smart plug I'm trying to connect to HomeKit, and I mistakenly connected it to my regular network because I guess it just connects to whatever network my phone is on. I want to quarantine it to my IOT subnet thats firewalled away from everything else, so I reset it and I connected my phone to the IOT network and now it can't connect to my plug. gently caress. e: basically my firewall rules are that anything on my IOT vlan can't initiate a connection to anything on my regular LAN vlan. Devices on the IOT vlan have access to WAN and they should be able to connect to other devices on the same vlan. e2: I finally got it working, I'm not sure what did it though. I reconnected it to my normal network and updated the firmware, but it still seemed like a fluke that it connected to my IOT vlan
