    Does tracking an interface turn on RAs automatically?

      I have v6 configured on my WAN using DHCPv6 and I have my LAN set to "track" that interface.
      I have not setup the DHCPv6 server or RAs on the LAN interface, but my clients are getting addresses and are able to communicate with the Internet via v6. Does that mean that RAs are being sent automatically, even though they are "disabled" in the pfSense interface?

        Setting it to "track" automatically sets up RA and DHCP for the segment being tracked.
