Does anyone know if IPv6 ICMP messages are filtered by 88U or allowed to pass (as recommended)?
I will ask for clarity from ASUS
Alas I have chased ASUS, but as yet have no reply, maybe best (quicker) to try a little test yourself.
ICMP Echo/Echo Reply should work from
LAN to LAN
LAN to WAN,
and LAN to WAN to LAN
but not WAN to LAN unless you change an option in the Firewall configuration Settings. Unsure if last option is yet available via ASUS DSL-AC88U.
If you network setup allows DNS, then on a Windows PC, go to CMD prompt and type
Ping (www.bbc.co.uk) (remove brackets) and I think bbc.co.uk supports IPV6, or will tunnel it.
and if you get a return then you know ICMP is allowed from LAN to WAN
Likewise, if you know another PC IP address on LAN, then simple ping that IP address
Hopefully that should be enough to see if IPv6 ICMP is working and DNS is set-up correctly ;-)
