Description

After much head scratching about why devices are not getting v6 IPs any more, nothing short of disabling it on the disconnected interface would get things working again... Kinda retarded behaviour.

There is code in radvd to stop sending on interfaces that are no longer transmitting.

I don't know how difficult it might be to wire up.

Not really sure why's this assigned to me. Either it's a bug in radvd or in pfSense. Either way, I won't fix it. Also, I could not find any such code there in the first place. The only thing I could find is an option to ignore missing interface, which is

- unusable here since the interface is NOT missing
- buggy in addition and breaks things (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=650047)

The fact that FreeBSD is many years behind upstream with the shipped version certainly doesn't help either. Looking at Freshports, someone finally added a port for 2.x, so maybe that'd be a good start. pfSense is even worse, the code here is from 2012/06/19 release.

Updated by Spencer Hakim about 6 years ago

Hi, the fix to this bug breaks radvd for bridge interfaces, which subsequently breaks IPv6 routing within/out of the LAN.

On 2.4.3, my LAN clients correctly receive global IPv6 addresses, but never receive routes; only link-local routing works. IPv6 connectivity from the router itself is unaffected. Any chance this gets quickly rolled back? I'm hardly the only person to use a bridge to join multiple LAN interfaces together as one.

Agree, this is very annoying!

and... should be fixed by radvd-2.17_5. Check #8429 for the current bug.
