No IPv6 address assigned on WAN interface / Router Advertisement ignored

[glasi]

I have applied both patches (943db279 and a0248c7e) on my system and can confirm that the IPv6 address is immediately assigned to the pppoe interface and that DynDNS for IPv6 is being updated accordingly.

A first test is also showing an improvement on my system's boot time by approx. 20%. For me it seems the system was "wasting" time on dyn_dns_status.widget.php beforehand as there was no IPv6 address available ("/widgets/widgets/dyn_dns_status.widget.php: Aborted IPv6 detection: no address for pppoe0").

I wanna test the new behavior, but not sure which patch(es) to apply on my OPNsense 21.1.2? All of them (943db279 and a0248c7e)?

Both of them. See also post #41

I'm new to OPNsense and GitHub. Can someone tell me how to patch my OPNsense 21.1.2 with the mentioned patches to solve this problem?

Kind regards

Go to the shell and issue the commands


# opnsense-patch 943db279
# opnsense-patch a0248c7e

I did some further tests (SLAAC configuration only) and did not see any negative impacts by these two patches  :). Can anybody give a positive result for DHCP configuration?

Sure, it's ok for me on DHCPv6 in automatic tracking mode.
