23.7 Legacy Series / no WAN_DHCP6 gateway. on 23.7 with comcast modem

« on: November 06, 2023, 01:28:09 am »

hello, i've been trying to figure this out for a year on and off, i always ran pfsense.  it works ok. but i wanted to try and switch to opnsense.  so i installed 23.1.(some months ago). ipv6 never worked. then, just now i saw the newer 23.7, and upgraded to that, hoping it would help fix the problem. but, no change...

from what i can see its not getting a gateway ip.   i do get a main ipv6 ip, link-local, and prefix.  the modem is a real Motorola modem, not a Xfinity wifi/router/modem combo. 

any ideas?  thx for any help!

hey guys, i just stumbled on this thread while having the same problem, wanting to use bandwidthd. and also followed them directions by 'dedman'. and also had it not work...  BUT...

I figured it out! and got it working just fine, so if anyone still cares about doing this, here it is..

what needs changed is step #3, he had:

ln -s /usr/local/bandwidthd/htdocs/ bandwidthd

it should be :

Code: [Select]

ln -s /usr/local/bandwidthd/htdocs/ /usr/local/www/bandwidthd

-----
you can see why it wouldn't work. it was running and making stats but putting the html output in the ./bandwidthd folder off whatever folder you were in at the time you ran the command...

so there it is.,

Also i figured out how to autostart the bandwidthd service at startup.

Add a file here:

Code: [Select]

/usr/local/etc/rc.syshook.d/start


name it something like '91-bwdstartup'
then put these contents in that file you just created:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh

echo -n "Starting BandwidthD..."

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/bandwidthd onestart


-------------



welp hope this helps someone....

good luck!
