Hi, I’ve got a system running pfSense 2.1.4 (most recent) acting as a gateway for my Comcast internet service. I’ve got IPv6 configured as DHCP6 on the WAN side requesting a /64 prefix. For the LAN interface I have it set to track the WAN interface.
I can confirm that the WAN interface is getting an IPv6 address:
re1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=209b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_MAGIC>
ether 00:0d:b9:34:c6:19
inet 67.182.141.248 netmask 0xfffff800 broadcast 255.255.255.255
inet6 fe80::20d:b9ff:fe34:c619%re1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
inet6 2001:558:600a:35:309a:40e2:efb8:28ca prefixlen 128
nd6 options=3<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV>
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex,master>)
status: active
and I seem to be getting the delegated prefix and it appears to end up on the
LAN interface:
re2: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=209b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_MAGIC>
ether 00:0d:b9:34:c6:1a
inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
inet6 2601:8:9a80:69d:20d:b9ff:fe34:c61a prefixlen 64
inet6 fe80::1:1%re2 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
nd6 options=1<PERFORMNUD>
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
status: active
Connectivity appears to be working from the pfSense system:

However, my OS X system (Mavericks, up to date) doesn’t appear to be acting on
the router advertisements the pfSense box is sending:
> ifconfig en0
en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 94:94:26:09:b8:1c

nd6 options=1<PERFORMNUD>

Even though the network configuration is set up to automatically configure IPv6
(and has done in the past, when I was using a FRITZ!Box on Internode ADSL in
Australia) and the pfSense system is definitely sending the router
advertisements and they’re definitely reaching the OS X system:

Any ideas where I’d go from here?
Many thanks,
Benno.
