Ah, OK, thanks Franco.

I guess I was just a bit confused by the status of "Pending" when it is disabled.

22.7 Legacy Series / IPv6 gateway created and undeletable even though IPv6 switched off

Hi,

I've probably got the wrong end of the stick here, so apologies in advance if I have...

I have just had BT Fibre installed, and it works great with OPNsense from the BT modem.
I have no use for IPv6, so have everything appropriate toggled off/disabled OPNSense side - I just use BT PPPoE IPv4.
However, when I setup the interface connected to the BT modem, two gateways are created for the interface: one suffixed *_GW with Address Family "IPv6", and one (that I use) suffixed *_PPPOE with Address Family "IPv4".

This doesn't cause a problem, but although I can disable the unused *_GW IPv6 gateway the status just gets stuck at "Pending" in OPNsense.  If I try and delete it, it initially gets removed in the UI, but then as soon as I apply the change it reappears as enabled (even if it was disabled).

I've dumped my configuration and the *_GW IPv6 gateway isn't referenced/used anywhere else in my config.

Is there a way to prevent the IPv6 gateway being automatically created or, if not, a way to delete it after it has been created, or is this normal behaviour if the modem is offering IPv6?

Thanks.
