Fusion VM's get ipv6 and physical hosts do not.

This may sound strange, but my virtual machines can get an IPv6 address, but my physical ones do not.

I've setup my edgerouter (Ubiquiti ER Lite 3) for a Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel as my ISP and the ER do not get along very well right now.

My physical devices are Macs, iPhones and a Chromecast, and my VM's are Mac/Windows/Linux all bridged to the LAN for unique IP's.

Any thoughts on what could cause this?

Bump, anyone out there?

I'm really curious about this issue and how something like this happens.

Any thoughts?

Hi 7Tigers

Welcome to Fusion community. Smiley Happy

Can your Mac get IPv6 address if you shutdown your VMs? Did you enable IPv6 on your Mac machine?

Yes, IPv6 is enabled on all devices.

If a VM is not running, I do not get v6.
