IPv6 when?

I did Jo, I have a Cisco 877W so am IPV6 ready 
Quote from: cdosrun I have a Netgear DM111P as modem and small array of virtualised Gentoo servers on VLANs for firewall, DNS etc.
I have one of those, but I'm planning on switching to a Draytek Vigor 120 before the trial. I've seen nothing to suggest the DM111P supports IPv6, and because it does the PPP stuff with the ISP, IPv6 support would be needed in this device. The V120 just acts as a PPPoA over ADSL to PPPoE over ethernet bridge - and so the device behind it does the PPP and so the modem is transparent to the protocols used.
No doubt someone will now tell me I'm wrong and the DM111P does do IPv6

The DM111P can also operate in 'bridged' mode, which how I plan to use mine with IPv6 (and how I currently use it with IPv4)

Not wrong, just misguided

I have mine in bridged mode. AFAICS, whether you choose PPPoA or PPPoE, the modem still does the PPP stuff and bridges the IP packets out to the attached device (so it's actually handling the IP packets). Unless the firmware supports IPv6 in it's PPP and IP stacks then I don't think it's going to bridge IPv6.
It may depends on device version. Mine's a V1 device (from 2006-ish !), the V2 manuals don't seem to want to download for me so I can't see it it's any different.
The Draytek V120 does it differently. It only bridges the PPP out to the attached device - so the attached device does PPPoE to the ISP and the modem doesn't handle any IP - it only passes the PPP and so should be completely IP protocol agnostic.
But then these are the sort of details such a trial is intended to sort out

Set the DM111P up in bridge mode and get something else to handle PPPoE behind it. A straightforward ATM modem doesn't need to know about IPv6 (or IP, or any other higher level protocol).

OK - please suggest how to do this, because as far as I can see, this is a mode that is notsupported by this device. Thanks to purleigh I've now seen the manual for V2 and it's no different. In both PPPoA and PPPoE bridge mode, it still requires you to enter the username & password for your ADSL account.
Unlike the Draytek which is effectively just an ATM bridge, the Netgear is not. It runs it's own PPP stack and there is no way to have an attached device do PPPoE from behind it. Ie, the Netgear device runs PPo[AE] and talks to your ISP - it then squirts the IP packets out on the ethernet port. Unless the modem supports IPv6 in it's PPP and IP stack then I don't see it handling IPv6 for you.

Quote from: avatastic XP Does support IPv6
With the important omission, which affects anyone using just a DSL modem, that it doesn't support ppp6. Another, slightly less important point, is no support for dhcp6. It could be that someone could provide these via an addon software package but it's something ISPs will have to consider if/when rolling out native ipv6 (ie without 4 to 6 gateways/proxies).
FYI - Mac OS X doesn't have DHCP6 either
I've already got IPv6 at home and work via HE's tunnel broker. But for what should be fairly obvious reasons I don't want to enable the whole office just yet. ISC's DHCP server will give me the config options I want but radvd won't - so I can't enable privacy options (I think defaulting to using the MAC address for a self assigned IPv6 address is a daft idea from a privacy POV).
