UFW block dhclient for ipv6





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

I have setup ufw and now I'm tring to setup IPv6 using dhclient:



interface "eth0" {
send dhcp6.client-id DUID;
}


When ufw is enabled it blocks dchp for ipv6, when i disable ufw, all is OK and dhcp starts fine.



ufw allow from any port 547 to any port 546 proto udp that help, but is that corect decision?

You have your ports swapped. If ufw is running on the dhcpv6 server, you should allow from port 546 to port 547:



sudo ufw allow from any port 546 to any port 547 proto udp


Your rule is valid for a dhcpv6 client. Please check that IPv6=yes is in /etc/default/ufw, too. I can't remember if it's enabled by default.



Also, I suggest you configure explicit multicast IPv6 adresses (fe00::/7) instead of any:



sudo ufw allow from fe00::/7 port 546 to fe00::/7 port 547 proto udp


If your server is itself a DHCPv6 client (i.e. it gets its prefix delegation from a router), you should keep the original rule, too:



sudo ufw allow from fe00::/7 port 546 to fe00::/7 port 547 proto udp
sudo ufw allow from fe00::/7 port 547 to fe00::/7 port 546 proto udp


Remember, a DHCPv6 Client initiate the connection from port 546 to port 547 via a multicast address in the range fe00::/7.
