If you have ATT fiber, it’s a pain in the butt. Their default router will only issue a single passthrough /64 on request. If you have multiple VLANs you have to setup some scripts to ask for more, and even then you only get 8 of them. The gateway reserves the other 8 from the /60 it gets for its own use.

The only way I got IPv6 working well with them was to bypass their gateway. Now all my VLANs have /64, which is the standard subnet size.

I think bypassing their gateway, that is - bringing your own router is the only way to do VLANs, because their gateway is very basic and doesn’t support VLANs at all.

  • You can do VLANs with their gateway but only IPv4, or you have to write custom scripts to ask for additional IPv6 delegations.

    • Interesting. Which model of their gateway do you have? I have BGW320 and it definitely doesn’t support vlan tagging.
