      I'll snapshot my test system and do the patches, then I'll throw some curved balls at it and see if I can replicate the monitoring issue. On a side note, I'm changing ISP in a couple of weeks and my v6 will no longer be dhcp6 without RA ( that's a mismomer and we should change it! ) but similar to Mav*Slo, so I will be able to see exactly what's going on there.

        No no, gateway monitoring is just consequence…

        Look what I mean:

        When things are 100% OK:

        
        Status
            up
        PPPoE
            up 
        Uptime
            00:01:50
        MAC Address
            00:00:00:00:00:00
        IPv4 Address
            212.xx.xx.xxx
        Subnet mask IPv4
            255.255.255.255
        Gateway IPv4
            212.xx.xx.xxx
        IPv6 Link Local
            fe80::xxx:xxx:xxxx:xxxx%pppoe0
        IPv6 Address
            2001:xxxx:xxx:x:xxx:xxx:xxxx:xxxx
        Subnet mask IPv6
            64
        Gateway IPv6
            fe80::xxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
        MTU
            1492
        In/out packets
            1543787/651379 (1.61 GiB/46.27 MiB)
        In/out packets (pass)
            1543787/651379 (1.61 GiB/46.27 MiB)

            2393/0 (137 KiB/0 B)
        In/out errors
            0/0
        Collisions
            0
        
        

        And when there is no IPv6 on PPPoe:

        
        Status
            up
        PPPoE
            up 
        Uptime

        IPv4 Address
            212.xx.xx.xxx
        Subnet mask IPv4
            255.255.255.255
        Gateway IPv4
            212.xx.xx.xxx
        IPv6 Link Local
            fe80::xxx:xxx:xxxx:xxxx%pppoe0
        Gateway IPv6
            fe80::xxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
        MTU
            1492
        In/out packets

        In/out packets (pass)
            1545272/656932 (1.61 GiB/46.65 MiB)

          Can you do a test for me, go to the shell, and firstly check that dhcp6c is running, if it is, then can you send it a SIGHUP, SIGHUP being  'kill -1 PID', see if that makes it recover.

            DHCP6c IS running.

            root    39375   0.9  0.1   8348   2328  -  Ss   10:04      0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/dhcp6c -D -c /var/etc/dhcp6c_opt2.conf -p /var/run/dhcp6c_pppoe0.pid pppoe0
            

            Killed it:

            
            kill -1 39375
            
            

            No change on pppoe :(

                What do the dhcp logs show at that moment?

                    So it appears dhcp6c is working, and by the look of it so is RTSOLD. Hmm, pppoe thing. Not even sure if it's related or not.

                    Try this, see if it makes any difference. Just add it on the end of the others.

                              Baffled.  ???

                              So it works unless you pull the link for more than 'n' seconds though. So what's changing after that 'n' seconds that's preventing a recovery?

                              Do we need to send another RA and reset the whole sequence, we know that dhcp6c is running bit a kick up the bum with a SIGHUP did not fix it. Try running the RTSOLD script from the shell and see if that kicks anything into life. It should report lock in place etc but will send out an RS.

                                Yeah link flap for 10 seconds or less is ok… As soon as last lcp is missed and pppoe starts reconnecting if I then plug utp back in no ipv6 address on pppoe...
                                How do I run rtsold script from shell?
                                Will try it in hour or 2 when I come home...

                                  In /Var/etc you should see a script something like rtsold_{IFACE}_script.sh, where {IFACE} is the interface you are interested in.

                                  To run  it, just do  ./ rtsold_{IFACE}_script.sh

                                  I'll squash down those commits it's getting untidy.

                                      When I run rtsold script:

                                      So still no IPv6 address on iface PPPOE.
                                      Weird.

                                        I think it will only get ipv6 address when connecting and no later…

                                        Only thing that is 1000% is disconnect/connect from interfaces page or save/apply on pppoe iface settings page.
                                        In those 2 cases ipv6 is ALWAYS assigned.

                                          Yes, I was doing a bit of reading, think it's a pppoe thing - note my earlier comment about changing ISP, I'll find out soon!

                                          Just remembered, my current ISP is a little wierd in that respect too, if I don't send a dhcp6 solict within a set period after a v4 solicit then no ipv6. The v4 solicit also contains the credentials so the only solution is drop the link, wait 5 minutes until the ISP's BNG resets and start the login again.

                                            Ahh we just both posted at the same time :)

                                            See above I`ve edited post…

                                            Yeah, this is pppoe thingie I think that too...

                                            PPPoE is really tricky sometimes...

                                            But you`ve fixed flapping issue thanks a bunch!!
