    The Dashboard->Interfaces widget isn't displaying the ipv6 link-local addresses.

      This may be by design, but in case it's not…  I figure it would be helpful to see link-local addresses at least somewhere in order to match up with the firewall logs that track these addresses.

        Status > Interfaces shows them, it would probably be a bit too much to put them in the widget.

          Something ive noticed is status>interfaces doesn't show interface mac addresses like it does on 2.2, in fact if I remember right the only place I could find where it displayed interface mac addresses was when you go to interfaces>assign (and I had to dig through the UI to even find them there).

          It doesn't even show the current mac address when you go to the settings page for the interface, just a bunch of x's (unless you've overridden the mac address with the box). If I remember right this is also different from 2.2, it would show the default mac in the mac settings box. But maybe not its been a while!

          I'm running pfsense in xen, is this hiding of the mac something 2.3 does when it detects virtualized interfaces? Seems odd

            There was a problem with the code that was supposed to display the MAC on the page, I just pushed a fix, thanks for catching that!

              Wow, thanks so much! I'm always caught off guard with how responsive the pfsense team is on here
