weird ipv6 gateway status + DHCPv6 acting flaky
-
so i've been banging my head on this ipv6 thing on my sg‑1100. after latest update the ipv6 gateway shows “unknown” even tho pings to ipv6 DNS work fine. tried restarting the gateway service, rebooted box, even removed/re‑added the ipv6 config, but it still randomly flips to unknown. dhcpv6 seems to get a lease sometimes but then stops renewing. this is annoying bc ipv4 is rock solid and nothing else on the network is acting up. idk if this is a bug in the new backend or just my setup. anyone else seen ipv6 status go weird like this? any thoughts?

Even if ICMPv6 used by IPv6 has a way more important role, a device - yours or the ones on the ISP side, are not obliged to answer to a ping request.
As you know you can ping using IPv6 to a known DNS, use 'traceroute' - the IPv6 version, to this DNSv6 and get an IPv6 device as close as possible, one that does reliably answer to ping (v6). Use that as your monitoring IPv6.
Or just trust your IPv6 (ISP) connection and switch motoring of, presuming its always on.

Hi there! Is your WAN configured for DHCP, or is it something like PPPoE? IPv6 seems to have been completely broken for me since 26.03 RC, but I’m using a multi-WAN configuration.
