22.1 Legacy Series / IPv6 track interface often fails after temporary DSL line failure
« on: May 03, 2022, 12:03:27 pm »
Team,
this is a problem I have for more than a year, so it is not specific to the current version. Nevertheless I wonder how to either fix it or work around it.
My setup is an external VDSL modem with OPNSense initiating a PPPoE session on it.
Unfortunately, the line is suffering from temporary instabilities. So it may break down and OPNsense re-establishes the connection a minute later. The problem I have is that in those cases, IPv6 adress assignment via track interface often fails. I assume this i some kind of timing problem. I can manually fiy this by reloading the PPPoE via Interfaces->Overview->WAN-> PPPoE reload.
However this is a cumbersome manual procedure.
Any ideas?
thanks, Till
