Non Link-Local IPv6 CARP address does not get advertised to endpoints with RADVD

Description
With feature #11103 a fix is made to exclude "AdvRASrcAddress" section in the RADVD.CONF file and use the IPv6 link-local address of an interface.
Now when I have Router Advertisement configured with the CARP as selected address, RA is still and always advertising the link-local address of the configured adapter/interface.
This breaks the IPv6 configuration and connectivity, so I have to configure all endpoints manually to have the right IPv6 address as gateway address.
With all 100% manual configuration everything works great, with RADV configured that advertise the IPv6 link-local address as route breaks the network.
Interface situation:
- IPv4 set and working great with CARP. DHCP server works as designed;
- iPv6 set and working great with CARP, but RA of gateway/router address is only submitting the link-local address to clients being served by RADV;

Are you trying to advertise on the non-link-local CARP VIP?
Could you show a working manual configuration?
Did this work in the previous version of pfSense?

Hi Viktor,
It did work with the previous version 2.5.0 as designed.
Just like with 2.5.0 and earlier version, I have set the RA interface property to IPv6 CARP VIP adddress.
Last week I have tried the 'AdvRASrcAddress' config within the RADVD.conf, but when restarting the RADV daemon it will remove this added configuration (auto-generate the file again).
Do you wish to see configuration from the PFSense instance or from a linux/windows client?
PFsense adapter settings:
- Interface address FW01 (prio HIGH): 2001:41f0:952a:2::2
- IPv6 local-link address FW01: fe80::2e0:67ff:fe1e:52a7
- Interface address FW02 (prio LOW) : 2001:41f0:952a:2::3
- IPv6 CARP address: 2001:41f0:952a:2::1
- RA interface selected: <interface-name> CARP IPv6 - 2001:41f0:952a:2::1
- Router mode: managed (tried the others too)
This is what is set at a Microsoft client with the help of RADVD:

Please note: RFC compliant clients must not accept a router unless it is a link-local address (see RFC4861 section 6.1.2). If a client receives a router-advertisement from a globally routable IP (such as 2001:41f0:952a:2::1) it must ignore it.
Also note, that AdvRASrcAddress currently does not work as intended in FreeBSD. See also #12582 and the github issue linked from there.
Updated by Jim Pingle 4 months ago
- Status changed from New to Resolved
- Assignee set to Christian McDonald
- Target version set to 2.8.0
- % Done changed from 0 to 100
- Plus Target Version set to 24.08
This is working properly on 24.08 snapshots w/Kea DHCP HA.
Updated by Jim Pingle 2 months ago
- Subject changed from CARP IPv6 assigned address does not get advertised to endpoints with RADV to Non Link-Local IPv6 CARP address does not get advertised to endpoints with RADVD
- Category changed from DHCP (IPv6) to IPv6 Router Advertisements (radvd/rtsold)
To add one thing I didn't see noted above, you can and should be making a Link-Local IPv6 CARP address for these purposes, not a routable/GUA address.
There are pending updates to the docs reflecting this that will be published along with this release.
