Has anyone swapped a BT hub with an MT992 modem and managed to get ipv6 working, preferably on g.fast?
I've just replaced my smart hub 2 (which got an ipv6 connection no problem, screenshot below) with an MT992 in front of my Unifi USG.
I can get ipv4 pppoe working no problem but I cannot get an ipv6 address no matter what I try.
In the USG there are 2 ipv6 WAN options, static ipv6 address or DHCPv6 DP. I've tried requesting a /56 or a /64 PD but no joy.
Output from tcpdump on my USG below. I'm not having much luck on the Unifi forums as I think this may be a BT specific problem?

For reference this is what my smart hub 2 used to show:
Solved! Go to Solution.
You definitely need /56PD and DHCP. What settings are available for the LAN side?
You will only get a link local address on the WAN
Have a look at this thread https://community.bt.com/t5/Home-setup-Wi-Fi-network/IPv6-amp-pfSense-with-BT-FTTP/td-p/2080812

As the MT992 has no interface to tap into how do I know it's not the modem at fault?
Because the modem doesn't deal with the IP layer.
Here are some screengrabs from the USG for reference:

LAN:
you see, nothing ipv6 related on the WAN (pppoe0/eth0):

OK I have solved this temporarily with the following via ssh into my USG
configure
set interfaces ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 dhcpv6-pd prefix-only
commit
save
I just need to work it into my existing config.gateway.json now to make it permanent...
/56 PD is indeed the right size.
