Title: Strange behavior when editing Gateways
Post by: Ben. on January 12, 2022, 09:27:44 am

Hi,

I have a fresh install on a demo system.

There were two gateways automatically created:
1) WAN_DHCP6
2) WAN_DHCP

I stopped WAN_DHCP6 and it's now in the status "pending".
If now click on the bin to delete it, I am asked if Im sure to delete it. If I confirm, the gateway turns active again.

Is this a known bug or intended behavior?

I know that you can change the interface configuration and set IPv6 to "none" and then delete it. But I would expect a hint "You need to disable..." and not re-activate the gateway.

Thanks!

Hi there,

When you save automatic gateways they become manual gateways. When you delete them they become automatic gateways again.

In a nutshell you can't delete them and there is no point in doing so.


Cheers,
Franco

Ah, ok, makes sense.

Thanks for clarifying.
