Description

I am trying to build a openvpn tunnel and I keep getting the following error when enabling the interface
"The following input errors were detected:

The DHCP6 Server is active on this interface and it can be used only with a static IPv6 configuration. Please disable the DHCPv6 Server service on this interface first, then change the interface configuration."

The interface does not have any ips I also tried to disable a existing IPV6 interface and I was greeted with the same error.

I did some research and it seems to be related to the bug below.

you had that interface assigned at some point and enabled DHCPv6 server on it. It's not relevant to #2065. You can put a fake static IPv6 IP in there, then disable DHCPv6, then configure the interface as wanted. Or manually edit it out of the config.

Chris,

I am just trying to enable the interface and it will not let me enable it due to the error above. I tried modifying and existing interface with IPV6 and it wouldn't let me modify that interface. I do think this is a bug, if there is a file I need to regenerate can you give me a path to it? Please see the attached screenshot.

Thanks

need to remove the config. Disable it as I described earlier after temporarily setting a static v6 IP, manually edit out of the config, or go to Diag>Command and run the following in the PHP execute box.

unset($config['dhcpdv6']);
write_config();

Chris,

That fixed it after I got my dhcp v6 scopes working again.

Thanks
