Title: DHCPv6 [LAN] Settings
Post by: bimmerdriver on May 10, 2021, 05:12:54 am
I just did a clean reinstall of 21.1. Normally, I prefer to display lease times in local time, not UTC. I found the DHCPv4 [LAN] settings in the usual place, but when I looked for the DHCPv6 settings, I noticed there is no page for [LAN] settings. Have these settings been moved somewhere else?

Under Interfaces (for LAN), you probably need to tick the box to allow manual adjustment of dhcpv6 for it to show under services.

Thank you for the reply. I did not know about this change in settings. Initially, I just enabled the manual mode and then noticed that DHCPv6 stopped working. I went into the DHCPv6 settings and enabled the server, but it still wasn't working. Finally, I noticed that RA was disabled.

IMO, it would be more straight-forward if enabling manual mode would cause the settings for DHCPv6 and RA to be set to the same settings as they were in auto-mode. They must have been abled in auto-mode, otherwise DHCPv6 would not have been working. Anyway, not a big deal...
