Track Interface - RA Issue

[korbinian]

Hello,

when an interface is configured as tracking interface on an IPv6 enabled gateway, you can not configure the settings for router advertisements. Why is this only possible with an static configured interface?

Thanks.

Hello,

I'm also interested in this question.

Thank you

Track interface automatically enables and configures Router Advertisements when it get's it's prefix delegation.

Let's ask a different question... what setting do you want to change?


Cheers,

Personally i think that Router Advertisements should be able to be configured for Track Interface interfaces.
Even the DHCPv6 server should be able to be configured, with Static Mappings, Range and Prefix Delegation Range config options being disabled when Track Interface is used. It should be easy enough to startup the DHCPv6 server when a valid range has been assigned to the interfaces, just like it starts up the RA deamon.

Hello,

I would like to use DHCPv6 to get the IPV6 addresses (leases) available via DNS.

I am with djGrrr. Configurable Router Advertisements and DHCPv6 with Track Interface interfaces would be the feature for me to switch to OPNsense in production.

Jolly good, who's up for some coding?
