>Synopsis: dhclient flushes manual IPv6 default route one lease renewal
>Category: system
>Environment:
System : OpenBSD 5.3
Details : OpenBSD 5.3 (GENERIC) #53: Tue Mar 12 18:15:44 MDT 2013
[email protected]:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC
Architecture: OpenBSD.amd64
Machine : amd64
>Description:
On a network with IPv4-only DHCP and IPv6 with no RA, I ended up with this
/etc/hostname.sis0
dhcp
up
inet6 2001:41D0:1:XXXX::1 56
!/sbin/route add -inet6 default -gateway 2001:41D0:1:XXff:ff:ff:ff:ff
This default IPv6 route drops every 5 minutes, which is also the frequency at
which dhclient refreshes its leases.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ sudo /sbin/route add -inet6 default -gateway 2001:41D0:1:XX:ff:ff:ff:ff
$ route -n show -inet6 | grep default
default 2001:41d0:1:XX:ff:ff:ff:ff UGS 0 0
$ sudo pkill dhclient && sudo dhclient sis0
[...]
$ route -n show -inet6 | grep default
$
>Fix:
Building dhclient from CURRENT (1.260, [0]) and using it instead seems to be a
valid workaround.
Prior the last change, bind_lease() unconditionally called flush_routes().
However, flush_routes() in [1] is documented to be equivalent to `route -q
$rdomain -n flush -inet -iface $interface` (note the -inet), which might
contradict my understanding of the cause.
