FRR OSPF6 not working
0%
Description
FRR's OSPF6 configuration pages don't appear to be generating the correct output into the /var/etc/frr/ospf6d.conf file.
Specifically the only way I could get OSPF6 working was to manually add in "interface" lines inside the router ospf6 statement block.
In my case I manually added "interface em0 area 0.0.0.0" inside the ospf6 router definition and it started working.
From docs: https://frrouting.org/user-guide/OSPF6-router.html#OSPF6-router
OSPF6 Command: interface ifname area area
Bind interface to specified area, and start sending OSPF packets. area can be specified as 0.

I pushed a fix for this and a couple other syntax issues I found along the way. Hopefully it behaves properly now, give it a try.

OSPF3 hello packets now emanating from the interface when the interface is added to the interface list.
Passive mode works as expected
However, deleting the interface from the list of OSPF6 Interfaces doesn't update the config files or restart ospf. Another innocuous modification is required to trigger it.

Thanks for testing!
The update/delete interface part is somewhat expected, and unrelated to this issue. The best way to ensure things are updated properly is to save on the main settings tab for the area (e.g. ospf6).
