Netgate 6100 does not use/receive routes from other router RA
-
I have the following architecture:
Also pictured is an RA sent by
Router2
as seen by a PC on thefd04:2240::/48
segment.I would expect to see the
fdee:ea52:aab1:1::/64
route inDiagnostics/Routes
but I don't. It seem that theNetgate 6100
is not adding the advertisedRouter2
route.This is a problem for example when
Client1
tries to do a DNS lookup on theNetgate 6100
pfsense it not able to reply.In fact I don't even see the RA on the
Netgate 6100
packet capture.Any idea what could be happening?

The
Netgate 6100
interface on thefd04:2240::/48
segment has the following flags:nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
I did a bit of research and I think the following might solve the issue:
ifconfig inet6 accept_rtadv
It's a production setup so I'm reluctant to try it.
Does adding the
accept_rtadv
make sense?
