NPt Help - Dual WAN ipv6
-
Hi all - I have a multi-WAN ipv6 setup with NPt mappings as described here: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/multiwan-ipv6.html
All was working well for awhile, but I'm having issues now and can't figure out how to troubleshoot. I don't see my NPt mappings showing up in diagnostics | states (v6) and the mappings aren't reflected in the a filter reload. Can someone give me pointers on how to diagnose issues with NPt mappings, i.e., is there some diagnostic or status tool I can use to confirm the mappings are being loaded or further test them?
Thanks for any help.

I realized my /60 prefix from Xfinity had changed, once I updated the NPt mapping all is well again. I was thinking that if the prefix changed, the v6 gateway would go down - but, that didn't happen. If anyone has any suggestions for how I might monitor a prefix change without using DHCP6 I'd be very appreciative. Unfortunately, I don't think I can have two interfaces each pulling prefixes with DHCP6: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/6880
My workaround was to get the prefix through DHCP6 on the Xfinity interface, then use the assigned ipv6 address, gateway and prefixes to for a static configuration. Can't figure out a better way...
