NPTv6
#####
:abbr:`NPTv6 (Network Prefix Translation)` is a form of NAT for IPv6. It's
described in :rfc:`6296`.
**Usage**
NPTv6 is very useful for IPv6 multihoming. It is also commonly used when the
external IPv6 prefix is dynamic, as it prevents the need for renumbering of
internal hosts when the extern prefix changes.
Let's assume the following network configuration:
* eth0 : LAN
* eth1 : WAN1, with 2001:db8:e1::/48 routed towards it
* eth2 : WAN2, with 2001:db8:e2::/48 routed towards it
Regarding LAN hosts addressing, why would you choose 2001:db8:e1::/48 over
2001:db8:e2::/48? What happens when you get a new provider with a different
routed IPv6 subnet?
The solution here is to assign to your hosts ULAs_ and to prefix-translate
their address to the right subnet when going through your router.
* LAN Subnet : fc00:dead:beef::/48
* WAN 1 Subnet : 2001:db8:e1::/48
* WAN 2 Subnet : 2001:db8:e2::/48
* eth0 addr : fc00:dead:beef::1/48
* eth1 addr : 2001:db8:e1::1/48
* eth2 addr : 2001:db8:e2::1/48
VyOS Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^
NPTv6 support has been added in VyOS 1.2 (Crux) and is available through
`nat nptv6` configuration nodes.
.. code-block:: none
set rule 10 source prefix 'fc00:dead:beef::/48'
set rule 10 outbound-interface 'eth1'
set rule 10 translation prefix '2001:db8:e1::/48'
set rule 20 source prefix 'fc00:dead:beef::/48'
set rule 20 outbound-interface 'eth2'
set rule 20 translation prefix '2001:db8:e2::/48'
Resulting in the following ip6tables rules:
.. code-block:: none
Chain VYOS_DNPT_HOOK (1 references)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
0 0 NETMAP all eth1 any anywhere 2001:db8:e1::/48 to:fc00:dead:beef::/48
0 0 NETMAP all eth2 any anywhere 2001:db8:e2::/48 to:fc00:dead:beef::/48
0 0 RETURN all any any anywhere anywhere
Chain VYOS_SNPT_HOOK (1 references)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
0 0 NETMAP all any eth1 fc00:dead:beef::/48 anywhere to:2001:db8:e1::/48
0 0 NETMAP all any eth2 fc00:dead:beef::/48 anywhere to:2001:db8:e2::/48
0 0 RETURN all any any anywhere anywhere
