Gateway widget incorrectly displays IPv6 default gateway status
0%
Description
Running 24.11 + System_Patches 2.2.20_04, the gateway widget occasionally fails to display the "globe icon" and gateway address for the default IPv6 gateway even though a default v6 gateway is configured and routing. A possible clue is that "netstat -r" displays "UG" as the v6 gateway flags in this state. When the globe icon and gateway address are correctly displayed, "netstat -r" displays "UGS" gateway flags.
pfSense is a DHCP (v4+v6) client of an ATT BGW320 residential gateway configured in IP Passthrough mode in all cases (i.e., upstream gateway and its configuration does not change).
