IPv6 on LAN just can't get it going
-
Testing with a pfSense lab on a server I have in a datacenter. Host assigns me a /64 on the WAN which pfSense grabs a IPv6 address via DHCP or when I set it statically. Ping out to ipv6 addresses from the pfSense WAN works fine. However I can't get addresses on the LAN
I've tried the following
WAN
-DHCP6 option set
Prefix delegation size: 64
Send prefix hintLAN
-Track interface interface set to WAN
prefix ID: 0rebooted pfSense, ipv6 gateway shows pending, after cycling ipv6 settings to off then apply them again, gateway goes Online. I do have gateway manually entered. It is the first address in the /64 block.
LAN client's don't get IPv6 at all. Firewall rules are at their defaults for LAN which includes to IPv6 to any rule.
I'm getting the following in the logs,
radvd[18645]: attempting to reread config file

System > Advanced, Networking Tab, is "Allow IPv6" checked?

Indeed it is. It comes enabled by default these days I thought. I never had to turn it on.
