      i running pf2.5 newest version and frr bgp for ipv6, I have also experienced ipv6 loss connection capability here. I can see that there is ipv6 routing, but I can’t go online

        @yon-0 Perhaps need a little more detail to see if it is a similar problem? Are your LAN devices getting global IPv6 addresses? That was essentially my problem which was resolved by getting the IPV6 DHCP server and the associated leases server to start / restart. As I said, I'm not really an expert.

          yes, i have myself ipv6 /48 address setup in LAN interface, ipv6 route seem is normal, but i don't know why i can't visit ipv6 network sites.

            Hi, I've been using pfSense for several months on 2.4.5p1 and had IPv6 enabled successfully distributed IPv6 addresses to my computers and devices. My ISP in the UK is Zen and I have a /48.

            Since upgrading to 2.5, I still have a IPV6 address on my pfSense WAN interface (and on the LAN interface), but none of my computers or devices seem to be getting an IPV6 address. I assume that something has happened to the DHCPv6 / RA configuration / process in the upgrade but I would appreciate some suggestions / pointers as to what to look for. I'm happy to provide more information but am not clear what would be helpful at this stage. IPV4 seems to be working fine, and everything else seems OK as well.

            Unlike others I see to have the IPV6 gateway working and IPv6 working OK on pfSense itself - just not getting passed onto other systems on the LAN.

            pf2.5 seem is change not allow use /48 in LAN interface, pfsense 2.4.5 can setup /48 in LAN interfacfe is work. pf 2.5 should not allow use /48 in WAN.

              @yon-0 As has been mentioned in the redmine, putting a /48 on an interface is not something anyone should do.

                Yeah that is just not something that would ever be done - ever!! A /48 is a route prefix, or maybe a firewall rule - not something that would be on a interface..

                It sure and the hell would not be a mask on a dhcpd - your talking 65k /64s - which would be a normal prefix on an interface.. Or a single L2 network.. A /48 your talking what like

                  /48 is the smallest range among BGP and bgp anycast. Less than /48 will be filtered out by the internet. No matter how much you use, you must set IP prefixes greater than or equal to /48 on at least one interface. Otherwise BGP will not broadcast ip prefixes smaller than /48.
                  I set at least 5 /48 IP prefixes. only config /48 or above perfixes in frr bgp, it is will can't work. it is must use /48 or greater setup in interface

                  PF is a routing system, not a client. It must follow professional practices and allow any possibility. It can even allow /29 or greater, because this is running a BGP router, and it can be distributed to other customers. No matter what, it is not Toys, can be ISP routers.
                  Because RIPE allocates at least one /29 to the customer.

                  As far as I know, AS4134 uses your system.

                    And what does that have to with assigning a /48 to an IP on an interface -- let me think.. Yeah NOTHING!!

                      @yon-0 Announcing a /48 via BGP and placing a /48 on an interface are two completely different things.

                      In your BGP configuration:

                      network 2001:db8:abba::/48

                      On interfaces:

                      2001:db8:abba:1:::/64
                      2001:db8:abba:2::/64
                      2001:db8:abba:3::/64

                        only network 2001:db8:abba::/48 setup , BGP will not broadcast /48 out. In addition, there is no technical requirement that it must not be used /48 or greater in interface.

                          This is similar to how I have many big houses, but you said that one person can live in a small house, and the big house must be divided into the smallest house.

                          Then I have a lot of houses that are in greater demand. And I like to live in big houses. It doesn't say that people cannot live in big houses.

                          There is no problem if the interface is set to /48 or greater in linux, is it that the freebsd restriction does not allow the use of /48?

                          I Can't understand this, everyone has their own resources and preferences. There are different needs, if it is not a technical problem, it should not be restricted to the smallest /64. Otherwise, BGP will not stipulate that the minimum is /48

                            Yes, it will if it is configured correctly.

                            In addition, there is no technical requirement that it must not be used /48 or greater in interface.

                            Yes, actually, there is. See Also RFC7421.

                            The de facto length of almost all IPv6 interface identifiers is therefore **64 bits.**
                            **The only documented exception** is in [RFC6164], which standardizes 127-bit prefixes for 
                            point-to-point links between routers, among other things, to avoid a loop condition
                            known as the ping-pong problem.

                              I tested it, there must be an interface setting /48 to bgp broadcast. if LAN or other interface has no /48 or greater, pfsense 's frr can't normal broadcast. to upstream.

                                  In addition, for larger IP segments, the shortest IP address can be used.
                                  For example 2400:3200::1 2400:da00::6666
