Missing Menu Items for IPv6

[opns-sc0]

Hi,
I've been struggeling the last couple of hours because I was trying to get IPv6 running. Basic config is running but I need to configure DHCPv6 for my local network.

However running
OPNsense 20.1.3-amd64
FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p17-HBSD
OpenSSL 1.1.1d 10 Sep 2019
it seems that the menu entry to configure IPv6 DHCP has disappeared from the left navigation panel. Also I could no longer find the configuraiton for Router Advertisements.

So either I am missing somthing (like any configuration dependency) or there seems to be a bug which prevents the UI to show these items.

Note while playing around I happend to get to DHCPv6 config screen eventually (playing around on the still visible Leases section). Also the DHCPv6 relay lilnk appears on the left navigation pane.

Hope this is just a small bug and can be fixed quickly.
thanks!

Since I didn't get a reply and if somebody runs into the same issue - here is the solution.

Under Interfaces LAN there is a menu item: Manual configuration

This needs to be enabled and voila you'll get DHCPv6 and Router Advertisement config options to appear.

From there it seems to work for me with IPv6 PD and setting my own DNS server (not OPNsense).

hope this will save somebody else hours of trialing...

RTFM...It's in the wiki.. 😊

The fact of the matter is that it's always been this way for dynamic IPv6 on WAN. Since you left that out of your initial question it is relatively hard to know what you expect, especially since both DHCPv6 and Radvd are set up automatically in your particular case so there's no relevant definition of "I need to configure [it]" either.
