Still problems with WAN IPv6 on 24.1.10_3

Hi Torsten,

You may have issues due to the patch, not because it is missing. opnsense-patch can revert it (and reapply if you run it again) so you can see if it does something or not.

No worries, IPv6 can be like that.


Cheers,
Franco

Hi Franco,

i reverted the patch 3b49f8a and reloaded the WAN interface. After that the CLI still shows the IPv6 detached, but now the GUI dashboard shows the address too.

All IPv6 pings to outside and access via IPv6 from outside are working. Only the gateway monitoring still isn't working. Haven't rebooted yet, will do that tomorrow.

Thx and good nite
Torsten

Hi Franco,

did some more tests and that are the results (always with the reverted patch):
DHCPv6 (is the best option)
==> WAN gets IPv6 address, shown by ifconfig in CLI and GUI
==> WAN shows "detached" by ifconfig in CLI
==> can ping IPv6 addresses from opnsense to Internet
==> my opnsense WAN interface is reachable by IPv6 from outside
==> gateway monitoring for IPv6 doesn't work

PPPoEv6
==> WAN gets no IPv6 address
==> can not ping IPv6 addresses from opnsense to Internet
==> my opnsense WAN interface is not reachable by IPv6 from outside
==> gateway monitoring for IPv6 doesn't work

SLAAC
==> WAN gets IPv6 address, shown by ifconfig in CLI and GUI
==> WAN shows "detached" by ifconfig in CLI
==> can not ping IPv6 addresses from opnsense to Internet
==> my opnsense WAN interface is not reachable by IPv6 from outside
==> gateway monitoring for IPv6 doesn't work

In the case of DHCPv6 I added in another test the already assigned IPv6 address via CLI
==> WAN interface no longer detached shown by ifconfig in CLI
==> gateway monitoring for IPv6 works as expected

With the reverted patch and the workaround to add the address with ifconfig via CLI the gateway monitoring for IPv6 works again. So I have the functionality back from 24.1.8. If it will help you, I can revert to 24.1.8 to check what ifconfig will show for the WAN interface.

Kind regards
Torsten
