pfSense

We probably need something like a "copy" of /usr/local/sbin/pfSense-dhclient-script here, just for IPv6

A dirty patch I am using for now is adding these lines in /var/etc/dhcp6c_wan_script.sh

if [ "$REASON" == "RENEW" ]; then
exit
fi

(Just posting this here so I don't forget what I did when I have to re-do it again cause it got overwritten)

Version 2.4.4-p3 has the following dhcp6c_wan_script.sh which should already ignore the RENEW reason:

#!/bin/sh
# This shell script launches /etc/rc.newwanipv6 with a interface argument.
dmips=${new_domain_name_servers}
dmnames=${new_domain_name}
case $REASON in
REQUEST)
/usr/local/sbin/fcgicli -f /etc/rc.newwanipv6 -d "interface=pppoe0&dmnames=${dmnames}&dmips=${dmips}" 
;;
REBIND)
;;
RELEASE)
/usr/local/sbin/fcgicli -f /etc/rc.newwanipv6 -d "interface=pppoe0&dmnames=${dmnames}&dmips=${dmips}" 
;;
RENEW|INFO)
esac

Are you able to test this? If you disable and re-enable IPv6 on your WAN interface, /var/etc/dhcp6c_wan_script.sh should be replaced with the default file of your pfSense version. (Therefore, keep a copy of your modified file before you disable IPv6.)

Hi Karl,

thanks for pointing this out! In that case this is fixed in 2.4.4-p3 and it was simply not marked fixed here. I haven't updated to p3 yet as I thought there is no benefit in doing that for me, seems like there is now.

We can mark this fixed then.

Actually the script posted above is only used if "don't wait for RA" is set, otherwise the "old" script is still used. Please re-open this (and fix this, I think the same script could be used in both cases, not sure why this is not the case).
