[AusNOG] EdgeRouter IPv6 on AussieBB

[Jennifer Sims]

Hey all,

I have an EdgeRouter working on v6 just fine with Aussie. I’m not at home to grab my config but when I get home I’ll do it.

Don’t forget to opt in for v6 if you haven’t already. 

It’s awkward to copy/pasta from my iPhone via SSH. 

:)
