      Hi,
      I have a bridge with 2 interfaces.
      I can’t configure ipv6 because I need an ipv6 auto-link local.
      For standard interface, this auto-link local is generated by pfsense automatically.

      But for bridge, how can I get an auto-link local?

      Thank you.

        ????
        auto link local?

        Every IPv6 capable interface has a link local address. Is that what you're referring to?

        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...

          Yes I was tired sorry.
          I mean IPv6 Link Local.
          Look on my screen shot, with my bridge interface, I have no IPv6 Link Local.

            I haven't configured a bridge in pfSense, so I can't speak from experience, however physical bridges don't have any addresses. They're supposed to be transparent. Do the actual interfaces have a link local address.
