DHCPv6 leases not showing

cjbujold

I use a HE tunnel for IPv6 and have activated the DHCP V6 server/RA. My DHCP V6 settings are enabled, with a start and end address and a router advertisement of assisted per the doc page on IPV6. Yet I do not see any leased addresses. My PC is not showing that it has received a valid IPV6 address from PF sense since it still only shows the windows default value. What am I missing?

Thanks

Do have Interfaces-LAN(Block bogon networks) UN-checked, cause else will block broadcast.
Have you tried with RA-managed too ?

Yes both private and bogon on the HeIPV6 Lan interface do not have a check mark. I also tried Managed as an option with the same result. The DHCP V6 does not seem to be sending any IPV6 addresses to the PC's.

Pfsense is on the latest version and PC's are Windows 10 and 8.1 with 2012R2 servers in a workgroup configuration.

With Diagnostics-Packet Capture (evaluate wireshark) on that LAN, you can check if the Win-client sends a (dhcp6c)request (broadcast) to pfSense.

Post screenshots of your config…that'll help track down the issue.

here is what I see in the log

Assuming you have an IPv6 address on the LAN interface, and you have the RA on the LAN interface turned on, it should collect the prefix from the interface config.

A working config looks like this:

# Automatically Generated, do not edit
# Generated for DHCPv6 Server lan
interface em1 {
	AdvSendAdvert on;
	MinRtrAdvInterval 5;
	MaxRtrAdvInterval 20;
	AdvLinkMTU 1500;
	AdvDefaultPreference low;
	AdvManagedFlag on;
	AdvOtherConfigFlag on;
	prefix 2001:470:xxxx::/64 {
		DeprecatePrefix on;
		AdvOnLink on;
		AdvAutonomous on;
		AdvRouterAddr on;
		AdvValidLifetime 7200;
		AdvPreferredLifetime 3600;
	};
	route ::/0 {
		RemoveRoute on;
	};
	RDNSS 2001:470:xxxx::1 { };
	DNSSL example.local { };
};
