[systemd-devel] IPv6 using LTE Modem - Networkd configuration

[Matthew Stanger]

Hi,


*Summary:*I'm trying to debug not being able to get an IPv6 DHCPv6 address
when using systemd-networkd (v229 Ubuntu 16.04) with an LTE Modem. It'd be
really great if someone could at least validate my config file below!

matt at crash-override ~ $ cat /etc/systemd/network/10-usb.network
[Match]
Name=enp0s20f0u3i10

[Network]
DHCP=ipv6
LinkLocalAddressing=ipv6
IPv6AcceptRA=yes
IPv6PrivacyExtensions=yes

[Link]
MACAddress=ac:ed:5c:38:31:b6

With the modem connected and networkd disabled, using sysctl(accept_ra=2)
and an '/etc/network/interface' configuration (kernel side network setup) I
am able to get an IPv6 address. This makes me suspect I'm doing something
wrong on the networkd side?

*Debug:*
matt at crash-override ~ $ mmcli -m 0 --simple-connect="apn=
vzwinternet,ip-type=ipv4v6"
successfully connected the modem

matt at crash-override ~ $ journalctl -u systemd-networkd

Just to prove out the connection part, I change to IPv4 config:
matt at crash-override ~ $ cat /etc/systemd/network/10-usb.network

Any idea's on what I can do to troubleshoot further for networkd?

Cheers,
Matt
