DHCPv6 does not reply with lease

[hbc]

Dear all,

I cannot get ISC dhcpv6 to assign leases to clients.

• I assigned static ip6-address to interface (LAN)
• I set up an ip range (no prefix delegation)
• I activated RA for interface with assisted mode (defaults, dns from dhcp)

dhcpv6 is running

The requests passes the rules (I had to disable the bogus network option, since ff02:: gets blocked by it)

But then no reply by server. I know ff00::8 is ip6-multicast, but since I sniff on fire wall interface directly and I get this request, no multcast security like mld snooping blocks it. The requests gets to my lagg0 interface on my firewall, but the dhcp server does not seem to reply.
There is no log entry about a lease and no reply paket.

Do you have any ideas, suggestions why this happens?

I have the same issue on a pfsense. Two interfaces work with dhcpv6 server, one won't (same settings on every interface, dhcp-server and vlan).

Now I migrate to opnsense and add the first network with ip6 - same issue. What am I doing wrong?
