What happens to my IP addresses when I connect using IPv6?

Here's what you get when your connection is set up for IPv6:

• Your existing IPv4 address (if static) and any existing framed route(s).
• A dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 PPP session.
• A dynamic /64 IPv6 prefix for your PPP session.
• A /56 IPv6 prefix for your LAN (if you are using a router with Prefix Delegation).

What happens with traffic metering on IPv6? Is unmetered content still unmetered?

For customers with plans that are eligible for unmetered data, data consumed over IPv4 or (from late 2015) IPv6, won't count toward metered quota.

How do I enable IPv6?

IPv6 can be enabled via My Internode:

1. Log in to My Internode using your Internode username and password.
   (Lost your password? Click here!)
2. Select IPv6 Settings under My Services in the menu.
3. Ensure that On is selected, then click Change IPv6 setting.

If you need assistance configuring your modem/router, please refer to our IPv6 Support Guides for full information.

How can I turn IPv6 off?

IPv6 can be disabled via My Internode:

1. Log in to My Internode using your Internode username and password.
   (Lost your password? Click here!)
2. Select IPv6 Settings under My Services in the menu.
3. Ensure that Off is selected, then click Change IPv6 setting.

How will I know if I'm visiting a website via IPv6 or IPv4?

Generally you won't. It's designed to be seamless. You can however test your IPv6 connectivity by visiting https://ipv6-test.com/

Does Internode support customers using IPv6?

Yes.

Who can use IPv6? ADSL, Fibre, NBN, Dialup, Ethernet?

IPv6 access is available to all Internode ADSL, NBN, Fibre Estates (FTTP and FTTN/B), and Fixed-Wireless customers.

Corporate Ethernet and Fibre customers can obtain IPv6 connectivity by contacting Sales.

Can reverse DNS be delegated to my name server?

Yes. Reverse DNS delegation can be set up via My Internode:

1. Log in to My Internode using your Internode username and password.
   (Lost your password? Click here!)
2. Select IPv6 Settings under My Services in the menu.
3. Click Advanced at the bottom of the screen to access Hostname Settings.
4. Select Use custom nameservers for reverse DNS.
5. Enter your desired nameserver settings, then click Save.

How do hosts on my LAN obtain globally routed IPv6 addresses?

Your IPv6 Access Device/router should assign /64 subnets to its interfaces after it obtains a DHCPv6 PD lease. It should then offer the prefix to your hosts via IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration. In more complicated set-ups, you may choose to use DHCPv6 as well.

Which access devices will work with Internode IPv6 Broadband?

All routers currently sold by Internode support IPv6 'out of the box'. We also work with other routers that support IPv6, of course, although any technical support is offered on a 'best effort' basis - you may need to contact your router's manufacturer for assistance.

Here is a summary of the feedback we have received for Access Devices with some IPv6 features:

Internode supported routers

Other access devices with IPv6 features

Any technical support for the below routers is offered on a 'best effort' basis - you may need to contact your router's manufacturer for assistance.

IPv6 access is also possible by placing an ADSL access device into 'Bridge Mode' and using IPv6 over PPPoE directly on a personal computer.

IPv6 PPPoE support is available in current versions of Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and most versions of Linux.
