      Hi

      The Routing log of my PfSense box keeps on growing with the same issue every 6 seconds or so.

      radvd[41259]: sendmsg: Can't assign requested address

      I dont know were to start searching for a solution. I have tried google for a few hours now but it didnt make me smarter. The router is working fine for now so this is just a want-to-know issue.

      Anyone knows what this is all about?

        Are you using IPv6? What are the contents of /var/etc/radvd.conf on your system?

          I have not configured IPv6 at all.

          The radvd.conf contains

          Automatically Generated, do not edit

          Generated config for  delegation from wan on lan

          interface bridge0 {
          AdvSendAdvert on;
          MinRtrAdvInterval 3;
          MaxRtrAdvInterval 10;
          AdvLinkMTU 1500;
          AdvOtherConfigFlag on;
          prefix ::/64 {
          AdvOnLink on;
          AdvAutonomous on;
          AdvRouterAddr on;
          };
          DNSSL home.kula.net { };
          };

            Looks like you have RAs enabled on your bridge0 interface. But it has no prefix, which is why it's complaining. If you go to Services>DHCPv6 Server/RA, and the tab of your bridge0 interface, do you have anything configured for RAs there?

              OK.

              The DHCPv6 Server/RA page says only "The DHCPv6 Server can only be enabled on interfaces configured with a static IPv6 address. This system has none."

              It might be that i enabled IPv6 on the bridge by mistake when I created it and removed that later on. I dont remember.

              Can I remove the radvd.conf?

                Backup your config and open it in a text editor, look for <dhcpdv6>tag. If you have one, cutting out everything from <dhcpdv6>to</dhcpdv6> , save, and restore the backup, will make that stop. Deleting radvd.conf will only last until something regenerates it, which will happen pretty quickly.</dhcpdv6>

                  This is strange but I fixed this problem in 2.2.2 by opening the default internal interface which is actually a bridge (em1 & VPN) and using IPv6 drop down and choosing 'none' again and resaving.
                  The logs then stated:
                  radvd[39957]: removing /var/run/radvd.pid
                  radvd[39957]: sendmsg: Can't assign requested address
                  radvd[39957]: sending stop adverts
                  and the error hasn't returned??
