Hello, On router, "lan" is bridge interface consisting of igb1, igb2 and wlan0. To put it short, on router rtadvd.conf is one line 'lan:addr="2001:470:1f1a:2c6::""'. On desktop I have this in rc.conf: ifconfig_re0="DHCP" ifconfig_re0_ipv6="inet6 -ifdisabled auto_linklocal accept_rtadv" The problem is that I also have to add "ipv6_defaultrouter" in rc.conf otherwise route acquired through rtadvd/rtsold is not present about 10 minutes after initial start of rtsold. What's weird is that if rtsold runs in a VNET jail, route does not go away. On that server I just bridge all epairs and egress so I know the same rtadvd running on router used in both cases. Also, that's the reason I'm suspecting rtsold is faulty, either it has a bug or I still have a lot to learn (I just started with IPv6). More details are attached to this PR: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=261129 Even more details on the setup are given in my blog post: https://meka.rs/blog/2022/01/15/freebsd-dual-stack-network/ The workaround with ipv6_defaultrouter works perfectly on desktop and server, but it's really annoying on the laptop. Is there a doc part I missed or something? Regards, meka
