I know this has been asked before but I couldn't find a definitive answer.
I'm about to place a community s1zed order for ePMP but need to check first whether they will be capable of IPV6 addressing.
Thanks
Hi Ian,
ePMP does not natively support IPv6 but it will pass through IPv6 traffic if you have IPv6 devices on either side of the link that are communicating.
Thanks,
Sriram
thanks for the reply. I can live with that!
Ian
When will IPv6 become available on the ePMP devices? All IPv4 addresses have been assigned now and local RIR’s are running out/have run out of addresses.
Bridging IPv6 data is fine if the end device is not the ePMP SM.
A time line is needed please.

We will add to the roadmap and target support in the first half of 2016.

That is unfortunate.
Second.
We can live without IPv6 addressing, but we really need basic filtering features for IPv6. (DHCP, prevent client-side gear from answering router multicasts, etc) (which would represent 98% of the work/code/space to have IPv6 addressing)

My vote for this feature, we already have our IPv6 allocation and are starting to activate it on our network.
We would like to test and work out any issues before we are forced to push v6 to customers.
Good Day,
Any update on this?
My company is looking at switching upstream providers and may not be able to carry our IPV4 blocks with us. We are looking at IPV6. We just started using ePMP products for our upgrade solution. I have halted ordering any further epmp orders because it does not curretnly support IPV6. Is there an update on adding IPV6 support to the radios?
We are also looking for an update. Is there any chance we will see IPv6 connectivity any time soon?
Jason
Are you looking for ability to carry IPv6 traffic, ability to filter/firewall said IPv6 traffic, or IPv6 addresses on the radios?
The first works now, although without the second it's trickier to keep misconfigured clients (E.G. SM ethernet plugged into private side of consumer router instead of WAN side) from messing things up on your network.
The third might be handy but certainly not necessary - in most situations there's no reason to have the radio itself directly accessible on a public IP address, neither IPv4 nor IPv6, and arguably a few reasons it's a 'Bad Idea'(tm).

Hi all,
We are still working on IPv6 implementation and I beleieve it will be delivered in next several months.
Thank you.

Define several months.
I'm finally getting IPv6 access from my upstream, so in the coming weeks, I'll be implementing it across my network. I'll quickly be reporting IPv6 defficiencies to all of my vendors as I come across them.
Dear Sir,
Know i'm using IPv4 only. How to change or use to IPv6? Cambium devices IPv6 support or not? Some locations changed to IPv6(Mobile Network). Please tell about detail?

EPMP devices will allow V6 traffic to pass in bridge mode no configuration is needed, it is not currently supported in NAT mode or router mode.
This needs to get resolved quicker rather than later.

What needs to get resolved? Not trying to be confrontational, just looking for clarification.
As I see it there's no rush whatsoever for the radios to support IPv6 addresses themselves - so long as you're using private IPs on the radios it shouldn't matter until you reach the day you want to do away with all IPv4 support on your network. (which for most of us isn't likely to be for several years yet)
IMHO there IS however a need for them to be able to filter IPv6 packets the same way we can filter IPv4 packets, and support IPv6 addresses in QoS classification rules. THAT is what I've been waiting for before deploying IPv6 to our customers. (waiting for a while now, true, though in fairness our upstream transit provider [Spectrum/TWC business fiber] wouldn't support our IPv6 block until a few months ago - we've had a /32 allocation for several years now that we couldn't use)

personally, I'd like to see the IVP6 support for the wan interface on nat mode. we've V6 active in our network ready to use and DHCP etc is configured. just need the firmware. I know the internet its self isn't completely there, sites like charter.com can't be reached via IP6, even some of microsofts sites.
I completely agree with the V6 firewall support sooner than later. I'd love to see v6 support for firewall and NAT on 3.3 myself.
we've been growing like made and getting more IPv4 blocks in turning into a challenge. like you, we've been sitting on a V6 block that hasn't been able to be put into the field from support, but for us its been CPE support more than provider support (ATT is our uplink provider)
most of our customers are behind NAT in the CPEs, some of our business customers are bridged and using some of the V6.

I can see routing mode support being useful, granted.
What NAT do you intend to perform on IPv6? AFAIK there IS no generic NAT under IPv6, the only NAT I'm aware of is IPv6-to-IPv4 translation (NAT-PT or NAT64). Those permit IPv6-only devices and networks to connect to IPv4 resources.
