Title: DHCPv6 Server not starting
Post by: ZeJoost on September 29, 2017, 02:55:47 pm
Hi everybody. I'm a fan of OPNsense since it Fork. But now i'm troubled.

I had a upgrade error to 17.7, but no diggy. I had a backup file, and installation was easy. Restored the backup config and almost everything running.

But now my DHCPv6 server is not running, log shows te following:

The *** are there for my privacy, I can see the line in de config file, but changing and trying to start brings the same error.

I think I have to change it somewhere else. But I don't know where the address is comming from. It is a static dns entry. Nothing in dhcpv6.

You help would be nice!

Edit:

I have found a way to fix my problem and should share it.

Stopped DHCPv6 server (it already was)
SSH'ed in the Shell of the firewall
Change the faulty line in /var/dhcpd/etc/dhcpdv6.conf
Then executed the command from above error message
DHCPv6 running in dashboard.
Stopped DHCPv6 from there.
Checked config (Still okey!)
Started DHCPv6 from dashboard.

Running :)
