Update 17.7.8: apinger and ipv6 gateway monitoring not working

[bringha]

Hi there,

after upgrading to 17.7.8, ipv6 gateway monitoring is not working after reboot anymore. apinger.conf does not contain any target ... entry for the ipv6 gateway, only vor ipv4.

Simply restarting apinger does not help in my case.

Fix has been by going into system->gateways->all, then go into the config page for the ipv6 gateway and press Save. Then restart apinger and the target .... entry is in apinger.conf again. however, it is wrong one address (Link local WAN interface not Link Local WAN gateway).

With the next automatic restart, it went back to the correct values again

I can reproduce this when rebooting

Hi br,

Does this not happen with 17.7.7 on reboot?

# opnsense-revert -r 17.7.7 opnsense

50% chance it produces the same error. Don't want to look into 17.7.7 vs. 17.7.8 when there is no change in there that triggered this, but wider circumstances.

We could also try the older kernel, but I doubt it plays a role. Do you use shared forwarding?


Cheers,
Franco

Hi franco,

nope it does - i am running two identical hardwares, one with 17.7.7_1 and one with 17.7.8.. This is seen only on the 17.7.8 engine.
