      Hi all
      I've configured my WAN on ix0 with DHCP6. My provider is saying, that he didn't receive any dhcp6 request.
      PFSense. IPv6 is activated on networking.
      How could I check if dhcp6 is sending an request?

      thx

        Do a packet capture on ICMP6 on the WAN interface. However, it might be difficult to use the pfSense Packet Capture at that time, so you'd need a managed switch, with port mirroring, between the firewall and modem. You'd then use a computer running Wireshark to capture the packets. I assume your modem is in bridge mode, not gateway.

        PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
        UniFi AC-Lite access point

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...
