The SRX300 (and SRX550M) are configured to drop IPv6 traffic by default: see documentation:
When IPv6 is configured on SRX300 Series and the SRX550M devices, the default behavior is set to drop mode because of memory constraints.
https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/task/configuration/ipv6-flow-processing-enabling.html
This can be confirmed:
admin@CS7-HQ-FW02> show security flow status Flow forwarding mode: Inet forwarding mode: flow based Inet6 forwarding mode: drop MPLS forwarding mode: drop ISO forwarding mode: drop Enhanced route scaling mode: Disabled Flow trace status Flow tracing status: off Flow session distribution Distribution mode: RR-based GTP-U distribution: Disabled Flow ipsec performance acceleration: off Flow packet ordering Ordering mode: Hardware
Configure IPv6 flow mode and reload:
set security forwarding-options family inet6 mode flow-based commit and-quit request system reload
…and reboot the SRX.
Next we need to configured a point-to-point interface using the parameters supplied by HE. The source address and IPv6 prefix will be specfic to your location and account, the destination IP can be can any HE broker, but should be geograhpicaly close.
interface ip-0/0/0 {
unit 0 {
tunnel {
source <your_globally_routable_ip>;
destination 216.66.80.26;
path-mtu-discovery;
}
family inet6 {
mtu 1280;
address 2001:470:aaaa:bbbb::2/64;
}
}
}
routing-options {
rib inet6.0 {
static {
route ::/0 next-hop 2001:470:aaaa:bbbb::1;
}
}
}
Next we need to secure the interface and permit access to it. I will create a new security zone for the tunnel interface and only permit devices residing in the INSIDE zone access to it:
security {
zones {
security-zone VPN-HE {
interfaces {
ip-0/0/0.0;
}
}
}
polices {
from-zone INSIDE to-zone VPN-HE {
policy INSIDE_TO_VPN-HE {
match {
source-address any-ipv6;
destination-address any-ipv6;
application any;
}
then {
permit;
}
}
}
}
}
Finally configure interface IPv6 addresses and enable Router Advertisements
interfaces {
irb {
unit 30 {
description INSIDE_VLAN;
family inet6 {
address 2001:470:cccc:30::1/64;
}
}
}
}
protocols {
router-advertisement {
interface irb.30 {
prefix 2001:470:cccc:30::/64;
}
}
}Now confirm we can ping6 out to the internet and also that local devices have globally routable addresses:
