RADVD issues

[lilsense]

I noticed after the upgrade that my issue may be related to RADVD service

Code: [Select]

What's your issue? Your network goes down for some reasons and radvd cannot start (is what I would expect).

looks like RFC 4193 complaint IPv6 local address may not be working with RA. I only have a single box and cannot really test anything.

It's hard for me to reproduce without steps to reproduce.

Can you give us the interface config for the affected network(s) where RAdvd is supposed to assist?

[lilsense]

create virtual IP's using the VLAN interfaces. RA is in assisted mode and DNS IP is a static RFC 4193 IP created.

This design works IPv6 only environments.


Interface ax0 has all the vlans on it.

I don't understand because I don't see an error message. You can check /var/etc/radvd.conf contents and if radvd is running... if it is I'm unsure what the issue is? Clients not using these addresses (if configured and being handed out via RA)?

That's not an interface config, that is some story about not knowing what to do. What are your interfaces, VLAN IDs, IP assignments and RA configs (radvd.conf would be good).

radvd made me a lot of trouble in the past years. fd00::/8 was none of them.

Sorry.

[lilsense]

Sure you are right, I have no clue.... This config works perfect on 23.1 but not 23.7. My lack of knowledge was fixed in 23.7.

I appreciate your comment.
