Description

When configuring an EUI64 IPv6 address at IPv6-GRE Tunnels, it is not generated and is not available at the Tunnel Interface.
The image below shows a tunnel interface configured with an IPv6-EUI address and the show interface command does not exhibit the configured IPv6 address. This IPv6 is not available in the system.

Tunnel Interfaces also do not generate/configure a Link-Local IPv6. It looks like Tunnel interfaces do not have any MAC Address associated to it.

In VyOS 1.3-rolling-202008170118 the interfaces do not generate/get the configured IPv6-EUI Address, as in the image:

I will take at look if I can implement a short fix to generate IPv6 Link Local addresses on wireguard interfaces.

Work with latest rolling release:

356: tun30@NONE: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1476 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/gre6 2001::1 peer 2001::2
    inet6 2002::fdc9:56ff:fedb:3f36/64 scope global

    inet6 fe80::fd05:d4ff:fe9e:1dec/64 scope link
