Add options for IPv6 DHCPv6-PD
My ISP supports native IPv6, they support prefix delegation using DHCPv6-PD to assign a /56 subnet. They do not assign the WAN interface an IPv6 address (i.e. no IA-NA) and only provide a prefix delegation (IA-PD). Currently XG (and UTM9) doesn't work with my ISP to get a PD because there are no options to request IA-PD only. My ISP edge router will respond to a solicit message with a IA-NA and IA-PD request but it would appear that the XG doesn't conform to RFC7550 when it sends a IA-NA message and receives a "NoAddrsAvail" from my ISP edge router.

Sophos XG is a great product, but implementing it with deprecated IPv4 only is a shame.
Take a Engineer and 2 days worktime to implement this feature to finally make all your clients happy!
It is so annoying.

End of 2018 and no PD on XG?

Will be replacing XG Firewalls with pfSense next year due to the lack of progress on comprehensive IPv6 support.
Pretty sad that nearly 3 years on since this was requested, along with being #21 in the Top Voted list, that nothing has been done on this. -

Yes, same situation in The Netherlands with KPN (XS4ALL, Telfort etc.).
Sophos really needs to implement this feature and don't forget PPPoE support.

We have reached the point DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation is an essential feature and a simple requirement. It's almost 2019. The largest ISP in my country requires DHCPv6-PD over PPPoE.
"Take my money" and implement this feature please so that we can get rid of pfSense.

It is now one year later and sophos xg is still not able to suppport this well documented RFC feature in his new xg firewall. 172 Votes from interested customers are not enough? It is a shame!

I had to stop a business migration from WG to SOPHOS because of this lack. Now I run for pfsense, because of this lag.

Can't believe this still isn't implemented. It works flawlessly in UTM.

It would be great to know if it would be included in a new version (Roadmap).
In spite of beeing a home user / SMB feature, it should be included.

Currently, we are planning the restructuring of our firewall infrastructure. We also plan a migration to Sophos XG firewalls. With the lack of support for IPv6-PD, I ask my self if this is the right decision for us.

Here it is the day before 2018 and Sophos has still not implemented this. Shows a complete lack of listening to customers and the needs of businesses today.
Except for free home use on the UTM version, I will never recommend Sophos FW products to any of my customers due to Sophos' disregard of today's needs.

We won't upgrade on the business side without DHCPv6-PD in place.

We need DHCPv6-PD or we can't get IPv6 addresses from our ISP

My provider has now enabled native IPV6 with addressing provided by DHCPv6-PD
Any news if this will be in v17?

This would be a big deal for our deployment if the XG would receive a prefix from the ISP and apply that prefix to an interface for DHCPv6 and RA.
Our ISPs provide a /60 to customers so that means you could have 16 /64 networks. One for each interface on the XG and then some.

We need this one as well, urgently!
Still no feedback from sophos on this one?
