I have played around with IPV6, but couldn't get it to work right for reasons outside OPNsense*. So I disabled all IPV6 in interfaces. The only thing I'm stuck with is radvd which is shown in red (not running) in the OPNsense dashboard. But before I enabled IPV6 it wasn't there at all. Did I forget to disable something?
* the issue I'm running into is that my provider uses multicast based IPTV, and recommends the use of network switches with IGMP snooping enabled. But as I found out, most consumer grade switches that offer IGMP snooping use an implementation that is not compatible with IPV6.
LAN still set to track WAN in IPv6 type?

I have checked them each, and they're all set to 'none'.
Is removing IPV6 configuration from all interfaces enough to automatically disable radvd, or do I - for example - need to remove all IPV6 fw rules, or other things as well? Radvd is no longer visible in the services menu, it only shows as red / not running in the dashboard.
Did you use manual override setting on LAN interface WRT DHCPv6/RA? It may still be picking up on the fact that it was specifically enabled but now you can't see / reach it.
Well, I reinstated the previous config in order to be able to access the radvd service page again, as well as the interface-specific menu items. It's just that I played around with too many settings, so now I don't remember what the defaults were.
Is there a way by removing (part of) of a config file(s) so that I get back to a clean slate?
In the /conf/config.xml set
<ramode>disabled</ramode>
where ramode exists... It's probably set to something else.
