IPv6 Addresssing Lost - radvd exited for unknown reason
-
2.2-BETA (amd64)
built on Fri Oct 10Uptime was around 4 days, 8 hours.
For no apparent reason radvd terminated and IPv6 DHCP-PD addressing was lost.
There was no interface reset or Cable Modem reset or loss of signal on DOCSIS side.
I have Gateway Monitoring (apinger) disabled for IPv4 and IPv6. I have run that way on 2.1.x for several months, due to the loss of IPv6 addressing if there is even a short gateway event.
I assume radvd restarted because it is a service monitored by Service Watchdog. But that seems kind of pointless since restarting it does not bring back the lost IPv6 addressing. A WAN interface release/renew did not help, ended up rebooting.
The logs are below. No other system or external event at the time radvd exited.
