[SOLVED]Upgrade systemd 255.7-1 to 256.6-1 breaks router configuration

Currently I am using systemd with systemd-networkd on my router to control the access to my private lan and handle the network interfaces. With kernel 6.9.3.arch1-1 and systemd 255.7-1 all is working as expected. IPv4 and IPv6 is routed and clients can access internet via IPv4 and IPv6. smile

Current configuration:
/etc/systemd/networkd.conf:

/etc/sysctl.d/20-ra.conf:

# Accept router advertisements.

net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra=2

After my update to the latest packages kernel 6.11.1.arch1-1 and systemd 256.6-1 and all the others my router is not working. IPv4 can be used for internet access. IPv6 is not routed and no IPv6 addresses are assigned internally. sad
I have changed the configuration to the new preferred settings big_smile:

/etc/sysctl.d/20-ra.conf:

# Accept router advertisements.
net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra=2
net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra=2

After applying new settings behavior did not change. Only IPv4 is working and IPv6 is sill broken. yikes I have search systemd for issues and could not find one. At the moment I am not sure, were the issue is located. sad Perhaps someone can help me to get it running again. :lol

Thank you very much.

Re: [SOLVED]Upgrade systemd 255.7-1 to 256.6-1 breaks router configuration

systemd 256.1-1 entered repos around 19 september, linux 6.11.1 around oktober 1 .

Have you tested with 6.10.x or linux-lts to verify if this is kernel related ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

A router should not accept RA itself

IPv6AcceptRA=no

but you instruct the kernel to accept it anyway

Anyhow - what exactly do the clients get? The RA (gateway and DNS)? The global IPv6 address?

I have installed linux-lts. Both kernels behave the same way.

IPv6AcceptRA=no and sysctl

I have set IPv6AcceptRA=no in 10-wan.network. Additionally I removed file /etc/sysctl.d/20-ra.conf.

With those changes no IPv6 was assigned to local clients. So I have added WithoutRA=solicit in DHCPv6 section in 10-wan.network.
After that my local clients receive IPv6 again. But this address can not be used for connections to external IPv6 websites for example.

My local clients get IPv6 addresses assigned from IPv6 prefix. That is working. But route is missing. I can not ping IPv6 addresses.

Re: [SOLVED]Upgrade systemd 255.7-1 to 256.6-1 breaks router configuration

Did you try to downgrade systemd to confirm that its update is the cause?

According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Router#DNS_and_DHCP systemd-networkd doesn't provice DHCPv6 at all, https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/16039 (I haven't read most of the thread but it seems that's the sought but broken function?)

Yes, I have done a downgrade before to the last working systemd. I have adapted configuration to old version. Then, it was working again.

That is interesting. So I could not explain, why the old configuration was working all the years.

I did one step back and configured my router for external IPv4 only. Following configuration is applied:

sysctl settings

Now with that configuration all clients can access internet with IPv4. Internal it is possible to use IPv4 or IPv6 for communication between router and clients.

The question is now, how can I enable prefix delegation and correct routing for my received prefix from my provider Vodafone. For example I receive follwonging information:

# Abstract from journalctl
systemd-networkd[471]: wan: DHCPv4 address 91.89.84.91/22, gateway 91.89.84.1 acquired from 81.210.254.28
systemd-networkd[471]: wan: DHCPv6 address 2a02:8070:9900::1a7f/128 (valid for 23h 59min 59s, preferred for 23h 59min 59s)
systemd-networkd[471]: wan: DHCP: received delegated prefix 2a02:8070:9989:bb00::/59

What changes are needed to get IPv6 2a02:8070:9900::1a7f/128 assigned to my wan interface and get default route applied for external routing?
What changes are needed to get prefix 2a02:8070:9989:bb00::/59 delegated to my clients via lan interface that they can directly use IPv6 address to access internet?

If possible it should be done with systemd-networkd, dnsmasq or a combinition of both. I am open for any suggests.

This address is for the WAN interface of your router only. The default gateway for the WAN interface of your router should arrive via router advertisement from the upstream router of your provider. After they are applied your router should be able to reach the public IPv6 space.

You need to decide which network ID (you can use the next 5 bit after the /59 network ID for that) you wish to provide to your clients (from 2a02:8070:9989:bb00::/64 to 2a02:8070:9989:bb1f::/64) and set up a RA daemon providing this prefix to you clients. dnsmasq can do this (via "dhcp-range=2a02:8070:9989:bbXX::N,2a02:8070:9989:bbXX::M, ra-only").

EDIT: If your delegated prefix is permanent you may also choose stateful DHCPv6  - dnsmasq can do this too.

Okay. I have simplified my systemd-networkd configuration. IPv4Forwarding and IPv6Forwarding is only used in networkd.conf. Accept router advertisment on interface wan and delegate a prefix on lan interface to clients. Router can access internet via IPv4 and IPv6.
Clients get an IPv6 assigned, but they can not use it.

Thank you for this explanation. With this configuration, the delegated prefix is fix. My provider is updating or changing it from time to time. So it should be dynamically assigned. Is this also possible with dnsmasq?

On router I can contact https://showipv6.de to get information about IP addresses. On clients I can
get access via IPv4 to https://showipv6.de. IPv6 connection to https://showipv6.de is not possible. Why?

  • Firewall?

  • Issue in systemd?

  • Misconfiguration in systemd?

  • Misconfiguration in dnsmasq?

  • Kernel?

Thank you for further assistance and tips how to solve this situation.

Thank you for this explanation. With this configuration, the delegated prefix is fix. My provider is updating or changing it from time to time. So it should be dynamically assigned. Is this also possible with dnsmasq?

IMHO no - only radvd does that. But since your clients get a correct prefix systemd-networkd seems to the job properly and you need no additional software or configuration.

Re: [SOLVED]Upgrade systemd 255.7-1 to 256.6-1 breaks router configuration

In both situations I am using the same configuration from above. Only the kernel is switched.

Router is using linux (6.11.2)

Linux Mint

This looks like the local IPv6 stack makes the wrong routing decision and picks the ULA address (fc00::/15). By design ULA addresses will never traverse routers - they work like private IPv4 networks.

By comparing your IPv6 routing table to mine I realized some routes are missing:

2a02:8070:9989:bb01::/59 via fe80::20d:b9ff:fe46:457d dev lan proto ra metric 100 pref medium
fdde:4834:7c86::/64 via fe80::20d:b9ff:fe46:457d dev lan proto ra metric 100 pref medium

This may be a quirk of my routers OS.
If not, the RAs send by systemd-networkd are possibly incomplete.

Additionally the router sends the delegation prefix to "lo":

I can't say if this is normal for a delegating IPv6 router.

Yes, because my packages never traverse my router and reach the word wide web.

Yes, this is correct. My provider is Vodafone. My old configuration from my first post was working for the last two years. With the new update I only get IPv4 running.

Is it possible, that I can change which address is used for routing? Systemd is creating those information in router advertisement?  Perhaps I should ask the developer, which information is generated?
Otherwise I have to check my RAs from Vodafone, which information is included.

Perhaps dnsmasq is overwriting this information?

I have added both routes on one client. I have similar rules existing for /64 subnet. Nothing changed.

I suspect systemd-networkd somehow not forwarding packets from the delegated prefix. But I have no idea why.

I created an issue at systemd for checking, if this is expected behavior or not. You can have a look here https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/34668. Further information is updated until I have it wink

Re: [SOLVED]Upgrade systemd 255.7-1 to 256.6-1 breaks router configuration

After long hours of debugging with tcpdump I have found the issue.
I had to remove IPMasquerade=ipv4 from /etc/systemd/network/30-lan.network. Also I need to stop docker.service. Then my router is working as expected with IPv4 and IPv6. My single Docker container is moved to another host.

Re: [SOLVED]Upgrade systemd 255.7-1 to 256.6-1 breaks router configuration

For IPv6 you should probably set up DHCPPrefixDelegation if possible to have an IPv6 subnet in managed by your router. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/IPv6#s … networkd_3
Edit: I did a search on the thread and must have a wrong character in there, as I did not find anything.

If you have solved it, then please prefix your title with [SOLVED] or is that a workaround and you are still interested in a better soltion?

No, that is solved now. My problem is only, that I can not change the title. I looked yesterday around but could not find a way to change the topic.
I will post my new configuration, that everyone can use it or this configuration is used as example for wiki.
