Following a number of
successful testing periods, Magyar Telekom is the first in Hungary to implement
the IPv6 dual-stack service on all three access technologies (mobile,
xDSL/GPON, DOCSIS). The implementation has been continuous since the end of
2016.
In practice, this means that
we provide an IPv4 and an IPv6 address to our clients at the same time, thereby
initiating the migration towards purely IPv6 networks, while ensuring seamless
Internet experience.
Important technical
information
In order to be able to use the
new generation network protocol, your devices connected to the Internet should
support the IPv6 dual-stack option.
Below you’ll find a list of devices
and platforms that currently support the IPv6 technology:
GPON:
- Huawei HG850
- Huawei HG850a
- Huawei HG8245H
xDSL:
DOCSIS:
- Cisco
EPC3925
- Cisco EPC3825
-
Cisco EPC3010
- Cisco
EPC3212
- Thomson
TCM470
- Thomson
THG570
- D-Link
DCM-301
If the device you are using to
access the internet is not on the above list, but you would like to use the
IPv6 protocol, please, contact our customer service with your request.
IPv6 compatible mobile
devices:
- Android: usually version 4.3
and above, but it’s device dependent
- Microsoft: usually version 8
and above, but it’s device dependent
- Firefox OS 2.0
- Apple iOS: currently does not
support IPv6 at all
- Apple
iOS: currently does not support IPv6 at all
Here you can find a video that will help you with the
setup.
For mobile phones you can
check on the websites below whether or not IPv6 is properly working on your
device:
You can use the following
applications, downloadable from the Google Play Store, to track usage:
-
Network Info II Find the IPv6 address on the last IPv6 tab,
2a00:1110:… (that’s what is visible from/toward the internet), FE80::… (that’s the local address, used only
for local communication)
-
Netstat Plus On the ’Established’ tab
you’ll find information on which program
communicates with IPv6 and which one only with IPv4 Naturally, we guarantee the same protection to our clients and their
devices on IPv6 against threats coming from the Internet, therefore, no
connection can be initiated to the phone, from an external source. These
connection attempts are filtered and blocked by a firewall in Magyar Telekom’s
network.
These are the allocated IPv6
address ranges from which IPv6 addresses are assigned to our customers:
- 2001:4c48::/32 (landline)
- 2a00:1110::/32 (mobile)
DNS (Domain Name System) server
addresses, regardless of the technology:
- 2001:4c48:1::1
-
2001:4c48:2::1If you are a Windows user,
here you can find help to make
TCP/IP protocol.settings (usually, the
default setup allows IPv6)
Fixed digital routers (cable
modem or home gateways (HGW) on DOCSIS network:
- You get one IPv6 address on
the HGW’s Internet side from a /64 IP subnet
- The HGW gets one /56 IPv6
prefix as well, from which the first /64 prefix is used on the LAN side. The
rest of the /56 prefix will be used by the routers installed by our customers (optionally
with DHCP) with prefix delegation to provide IP addresses for their further
interfaces.
- Usually, the distributed /56
prefixes remain unchanged for a long
time at a given endpoint, but the delegated /56 prefix can change in case of a modification
to the Telekom network or if the HGW is replaced.
- The HGW features DHCPv6
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server and SLAAC (Stateless Address Auto
Configuration ) support for our customers’ local networks.
- In the HGWs, as per the
default IPv6 firewall configuration, no IPv6 connection can be established from
the Internet towards our customers’ local networks. This default HGW setting
can be turned off typically at the following address:
http://192.168.0.1/ .
- In case of an HGW used in
cable modem or bridge mode, the connected customer device should use DHCPv6,
with SLAAC not being supported.
Fixed digital routers (modem
or home gateways (HGW) on xDSL and GPON networks:
- You get one IPv6 address on
the HGW’s Internet side from a /64 IP subnet
- The HGW gets one /56 IPv6
prefix as well from which the first /64 prefix is used on the LAN side
- The distributed /56 prefixes
and the Internet side IPv6 address remain unchanged at the given endpoint until
the connection is interrupted. In case of reconnection a new address is distributed.
- In the HGWs, as per the
default IPv6 firewall configuration, no IPv6 connection can be established from
the Internet towards our customers’ local networks. This default HGW setting
can be turned off typically at the following address:
http://192.168.0.1/ (except
for Speedport W724V Type Ci )
- In case of a modem the
connected customer device should use DHCPv6
