Editing a network interface
0%
Description
I have a network interface just for accessing the pfSense GUI. From this network I can edit other interfaces but I am unable to make changes to the network interface I am on. Although the Router Advertisements Server is disabled in the Services menu and the "IPv6 Configuration" is set to "None" on the network interface the following message appears:
"The Router Advertisements Server is active on this interface and it can be used only with a static IPv6 configuration. Please disable the Router Advertisements Server service on this interface first, then change the interface configuration."

I can get around the issues by temporarily adding an IPv6 configuration.

Sorry but I’ve searched and searched for answers already, the interface tells me to disable router advertisements and DHCPv6 Server & RA tells me “This system has none”. Is it really expected behaviour?

I see now, at some point I must have turned on RAs then turned off IPv6 for the interface I’d turned it on for. Maybe I was toying with the idea of using IPv6 on my local networks? I’ve been building on this .conf for 6-7 years now, I don’t remember turning it on but I may well have.
