      I've been looking at tracing and packet captures. But I'm not seeing what I would have expected. And it may be because of a difference in terminology. For NDM or Connect:Direct (a Managed File XFER product) I would turn on tracing for a specific thing, having to do with hand-shake or TCP|UDP packets for a specific address. In this case it is the WAN port that I need to trace. Is this Dataplane packet tracing? Also note, I have blocked IPv6 in/out for our environment should that be a possible problem. And if I understand correctly this is all CLI, so it can't be set up from the GUI, right?

        Here you are just capturing all packets on the WAN to what, if anything, is there. I expect to see either the gateway monitoring pings or ARP requests at least. Probably not much else.
        But if you see the upstream gateway sending ARP requests for example that gives us a clue.
        You can run the packet capture from the webgui:
