Description

I have successfully configured my router for DS-lite (NetCom BW, Germany) using PPPoE for initial WAN setup (IPv4 & IPv6 addresses). A GIF interface tunnels my private IPv4 addresses.

However, the tunnelled IPv4 connection stops working whenever rc.newwanip is called. It seems that the GIF-Interface is reconfigured before an IPv6 address has been retrieved.

If the GIF-interface has an IPv6 address as a remote peer then I think the GIF-tunnel should be reconfigured whenever rc.newwanipv6 is called.

I placed this code in rc.newwanipv6 (almost at the end after the OpenVPN part) which works for me as a workaround.


unset($gif);
$gif = link_interface_to_tunnelif($interface, 'gif');
if (!empty($gif)) {
array_walk($gif, 'interface_gif_configure');
}

Thank you. It seems that #6507 and this problem are related. However, the link is broken. According to the description it refers to GRE not GIF tunnels.

Thank you. It seems that #6507 and this problem are related. However, the link is broken. According to the description it refers to GRE not GIF tunnels.

The link is to our internal gitlab, and that PR does fix both GIF and GRE even though the issue itself only mentions GRE. So this issue can be closed as a duplicate.
