Do the default RA's need tweaking.

@pst The default and example configuration file in v2.19 use the later x3 standard. The example text included with pfSense also uses the factor 10 sec x 3 = 30 seconds.
Joined-up, it is not.

@RobbieTT There has been a change submitted to RADVD which align it to RFC8106:
https://github.com/radvd-project/radvd/commit/17c43bff200bbc1d4786eb917860a79db4f95c2e
Hopefully that will trickle through the system and end up in a pfSense release, at some point.

Thanks for that, very helpful.
It shows as a committ and the issue marked as closed over 2 years ago. Do we know where the air gap is between the issue being resolved and where we are now with pfSense?
[To me it looks like radvd itself has not been touched in over 2 years, suggesting that this package is not being maintained.]

@RobbieTT No decision about a RADVD 2.20 release has been made yet (as of this post's date anyway), but voices has been raised:
https://github.com/radvd-project/radvd/issues/185
I don't know how long it will take after the 2.20 release before it ends up in pfSense as it needs to be integrated into FreeBSD first (I guess).
-
@pst Not looking good - the last question on 2.20 is asking if downstream users are now expected to build from git, rather than a [2.20] tagged release.
That was in January 2023.
Indeed, there have been no releases since the original package maintainer retired in Jan 2021.

Is there a way to fix this? Is there a set of instructions on fixing it? I am not super-Linux proficient, simple-is as simple-does.
I just going through some of these logs on my pfSense+ 23.05.1-RELEASE (amd64) - Just installed the latest this AM.
I am one of those who hates seeing errors and warnings. <grin>

Presumably not but there will be some RA tweaks in 25.07, which is not that far away from release.
