Since the last update, my radvd is not starting. It looks like playing with IPv6 (and finally disabling it again), I have recurring problems with the DHCPv6 and radvd service.
Tried to reset everything following https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=34584.0 (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=34584.0) this did not solve my issue. radvd still not starting, even if clicked manually. There is also no error in logs.
When following the above guide, I got:
2023-12-17T08:06:34 Error opnsense /interfaces.php: The command '/sbin/ifconfig 'igb3'
inet6 '::1' prefixlen '128' no_dad' returned exit code '1', the output was 'ifconfig:
ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Invalid argument'
2023-12-17T08:06:31 Error opnsense /interfaces.php: The command '/sbin/ifconfig 'igb2'
inet6 '::1' prefixlen '128' no_dad' returned exit code '1', the output was 'ifconfig:
ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Invalid argument'
2023-12-17T08:06:27 Error opnsense /interfaces.php: The command '/sbin/ifconfig 'igb1'
inet6 '::1' prefixlen '128' no_dad' returned exit code '1', the output was 'ifconfig:
ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Invalid argument'
But I cannot assign this to any specific action.
Where would I start debugging starting of radvd?
radvd needs an assigned IPv6 for the interfaces in order to derive the RA broadcasts from that.
The error message seems to indicate that your interfaces do not have a valid IPv6 in the first place.
Thank you. So this means this is normal and should be expected, when IPv6 is disabled?
Yes, it does not make much sense to start radvd when IPv6 is disabled altogether.
Great, thank you for the confirmation!
I think this was new, which is why radvd not starting caught my eye and got me worried.
