Radvd[19080]: IPv6 forwarding setting is: 0, should be 1

jrmitchell83

Hello,

I am running pfSense 2.2.6 and attempting to get IPv6 up and running on Comcast HSI. In the Router Advertisement Daemon (radvd) logs I am seeing a few things that don't look right and I cannot seem to track down a resolution.

In the "Routing" logs:
Feb 23 12:53:15 radvd[19080]: version 1.9.1 started
Feb 23 12:53:15 radvd[19080]: IPv6 forwarding setting is: 0, should be 1
Feb 23 12:53:15 radvd[19080]: IPv6 forwarding seems to be disabled, but continuing anyway.
Feb 23 12:53:15 radvd[19080]: no auto-selected prefix on interface em1, disabling advertisements
Feb 23 12:53:15 radvd[19119]: sendmsg: Can't assign requested address
Feb 23 12:53:16 radvd[19119]: attempting to reread config file
Feb 23 12:53:16 radvd[19119]: sendmsg: Can't assign requested address
Feb 23 12:53:16 radvd[19119]: resuming normal operation
Feb 23 12:53:19 radvd[19119]: attempting to reread config file
Feb 23 12:53:19 radvd[19119]: resuming normal operation

Can anyway shed light on why I am seeing the above problems being logged in bold? I had tried just about everything and cannot resolve these issues.

Please help!

Thank you!

Hello HDA,

Sorry about that! Was meaning to attach screen shots but forgot!

Thank you,

Pretty sure that's just log spam because the sysctl is set after radvd starts. Is everything working and it's just something you noticed?
