I wouldn't be surprised if some random consumer router actually did a decent job here. These are often optimized for maximum ISP compatibility and deal with all kinds of shenanigans automagically. I mean, they must have tested this with something. And that something probably "just worked", so it's all good, right?

If you want to stick with patching out accept_rtadv (or maybe blocking RAs with a firewall rule might work, too?): Setting up the default route manually is straightforward. Create a gateway, enter the link-local address of your ISPs gateway, done.

youd think itd be easy until you spend 2 hours on it just to realize you needed to reboot to get the route and NDP tables really flushed from the RA crap lol - all good now though!

Unfortunately "accept_rtadv" flag is hardcoded since some ISPs require it for IPv6 to function at all ;)

https://github.com/opnsense/core/blob/4acc838e4dc19e87affeb4f5a22d9a7dfe0470f6/src/etc/inc/interfaces.inc#L2305

Opt-out may be possible but adding more knobs to IPv6 is not my favourite past time activity and leads to more support cases later on.

And of course when I patched accept RA's out it did take out the prefix, but also gave me the added benefit of "setup your own routes chump" since it doesn't accept RA - and I didn't really feel like going through all of that so I just left it on and added a bit into a script that just removes the alias before opnsense catches it

But honestly I am pretty happy where its at now, the fun part begins on finding the right dept in my ISP and begging them to unscrew this Cisco so that I can have a normal config  ;D - I am curious on what would happen if I tried plugging in a normal TP-Link router into it - probably fire  ;)

Just want to thanks to all who helped get me on the right path also!

I've cracked it Jim! The DUID was completely wrong for some reason, no idea how but dhcp6c was using the DUID for my first interface, not the last one my WAN is in. Double checked configs and cleared DUID and still was just stuck on that - so I swapped WAN to first interface and BOOM I got my prefix!

But it still wouldnt ping out of course, further investigation revealed SLAAC was shoving that /64 down my throat whether I wanted it or not. Only way I found to make the routing happy was to instantanously delete the address via ifconfig whilst in the middle of opnsense running through its renew scripts - that gets everything routing properly (for the most part) and I can PING OUT FROM MY PC!

BUT one question remains, is there anyway to configure opnsense to completely ignore that autoconf /64 address?

So the DHCPv6 server works, gives dhclient a /128 WAN address and a /64 delegated prefix. (/64 is the absolute bare minimum. You could try explicitly requesting a different PD size, but most ISPs don't support that.)

Did you set the dhcp6c log level to at least 'Info' in 'Interfaces: Settings'? The default 'Standard' isn't sufficient for troubleshooting.

The proper packet capture shows OPNsense sending dhcp6 solicits, asking for an address and a prefix. But there doesn't seem to be a response. Maybe your ISP doesn't like something about dhcp6c's solicits? You could try a 1:1 comparison of a dhcp6c vs. dhclient solicit packet.

Or maybe you have to release dhclient's lease before requesting one with dhcp6c?

Doh! I'm pretty sure you mentioned that before too my apologies! I believe this maybe of more use  :P

which seems to be the same apart from differents IDs and T1 and T2 times for IA_NA and PD - any suggestions?

edit: so I was playing with the dhcp6c to essentially get the same packet as dhclient but still no joy

Packet comparison - dhcp6c is top, dhclient bottom

And you'd be right - -P allows for PD requests in dhclient (dhclient isn't entirely supported I know, but easier for me to diag with this lol)

And as for the system logs I am not really seeing anything useful for dhcp6c apart from "RTSOLD script - Sending SIGHUP to dhcp6c" - I've already set them to debug (gotta use up that 256GB ssd right?!) and was looking from /var/log/system/latest.log

Have a look at the dhcp6c log whether they actually offer prefix delegation (or DHCPv6 at all).
The /64 advertised via RA is only for numbering your WAN interface, it's not a prefix delegation. PD only works via DHCPv6.

Cheers
Maurice

Couldn't find any hard logs apart from the rtsold script SIGHUPing it for reload - I ended up doing a packet capture which showed nothing using dhcp6c, but oddly with my (ghettoly) installed dual-dhclient it was able to pickup a response

^ this is the /128 that is routable and pings for me

Hello!

I've recently switched from a cable ISP to one on what seems to be G.fast or some kind of RJ45 link to their node on the side of my MDU - No modem or anything just my router connected straight into their node essentially.

The IPv4 worked fine over usual DHCP but I am struggling with dual-stack which I have usually been able to get to work with no problems on two different cable providers. However with this one I get an address assigned with a /64 len - but no prefix delegation. I've tried multiple DHCPv6 options including prefix hint and different sizes, but packet captures reveal that the router seems to be offering a /64 prefix via RA. Even switching to SLAAC wouldn't resolve this.

LAN bridge mirrors what's worked before for me, the basic track interface with manual settings for my own DHCPv6 server minor settings (DNS, etc). One other thing of note is that the IP is that the IP assigned does not appear to be routable, but if I dhclient another IP which assigns me a /128 address - that one is and im able to ping out.

^ what piqued my interest was in the RA of what appeared to be the prefix advert here:

Code Select Expand

prefix info option (3), length 32 (4): 2600:6401:9c46:8d00::/64, Flags [onlink, auto], valid time 2592000s, pref. time 604800s

Their router also sent a few solicitations during those pings making me worry that I am not even in their NDP table, to which I advertised, so if its their fault that'd be good to know also! (I bet yall can find out who it is w/ what I've given so far  ;))

Would appreciate any questions/advice/criticisms - and greatly appreciate yalls time!
