I currently have an issue where the IPv6 default route is not being installed from the CMTS RA. Try as I might, I cannot get the SRX to pick up and install the default route. I have a DHCPv6 assigned GUA on the link, I have DHCPv6-PD assigned /64 subnet going back and being installed on the inside interface etc, just no default route.

From JTAC...

The issue you are facing is described on internal PR.

Workaround

  • Configure IPv6 default route manually.

  • Add prefix info to the RA sent

Known issue will be resolved in:

  • junos:15.1X49-D180

  • junos:17.4R3

  • junos:18.1R4

  • junos:18.2R3

  • junos:18.3R2

  • junos:18.4R2

  • junos:19.1R2

  • junos:19.2R1

Tentative release for 15.1x49-D180 is end of May.

I've had to configure the default route manually as the workaround, as I do not control the ISP's CMTS. This is accomplished by retrieving the neighbor LLA via snooping on the RA via show ipv6 router-advertisements, and using it as a qualified next-hop for default via the following command...

set routing-options rib inet6.0 static route ::/0 qualified-next-hop fe80::242:5aff:fe1d:b019 interface ge-0/0/5.0
