DHCPv6 Not Working for LAN Interface, SLAAC works without issue
-
I have a residential TWC (Spectrum) line and I finally configured pfSense 2.3.3 to use IPv6.
I am using DHCP6 on the WAN interface, with Track Interface on the LAN interface.
When I configure Router Advertisements to Unmanaged or Assisted I have no issues my machines acquire an IPv6 address and I score a 19/20 on http://ipv6-test.com/ (they ding me a point for ipv6 hostnames).
I can't get Router Advertisements to work in Managed mode none of my Windows, Linux, or iOS Devices pull an IPv6 address from the DHCPv6 Server. I also tried static IPv6 assignments and they do not acquire them either. I set my range to ::130 to ::254 for testing purposes so I would know if I pulled an address.
I'm aware there is an issue on Windows 10 machines with DHCPv6, but I already have update "Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB4013418)" installed which allegedly resolves these issues.
I verified that dhcpd is running
46995 - Ss 0:00.17 /usr/local/sbin/dhcpd -6 -user dhcpd -group _dhcp -chroot /var/dhcpd -cf /etc/dhcpdv6.conf -pf /var/run/dhcpdv6.pid em1
None of my machines will pull an IPv6 Address over DHCP it seems :( I tried ipconfig /release6 and ipconfig /renew6 on windows machines too…
Any ideas?

Forgot to add I also Added Inbound and Outbound Rules to Windows Firewall for ICMPv6 -
You should be using assisted. With regards to the windows issue, it has been fixed on a recent update, but I can't confirm which update. You should be able to get a dhcpv6 lease if you use ipconfig /release6 and ipconfig /renew6. If you disable and enable the adapter before ipconfig, it will clear the previous privacy addresses. If this is not working, you probably have a configuration problem.

I switched to assisted mode, and I get IPv6 Addresses via SLAAC but I do not receive any IPv6 addresses from the DHCPv6 Server Pool. I tried multiple devices iOS Devices, Windows Devices, Linux VM's, all pull SLAAC Addresses but none from DHCPv6.

It looks like for some reason on my LAN interface I had checked "Block Bogon Networks" which blocked all Link-Local IPv6 Traffic such as DHCPv6. My clients pull addresses now from DHCPv6 yay!

Good catch. Those damn bogons will get you every time. ;)

Thanks, just got bitten by this one myself, trying to protect the internet from my devices going bad ;(
