I've 2 freenas boxes that I'm trying to setup with ipv6. Both have a lagg0 interface (LACP), one's running 11.2-U7 and the other 11.2-U6 . I'm fairly new to IPv6 but other devices on LAN are getting address from a pfsense DHCPv6 server with the router in managed mode.

Here's what I've tried till now:

1. I've checked auto configure ipv6 in web gui and I got a link-local address and a default name server -> no global address.
service rtsold was running

2. Added to system tunables type rc.conf:
Variable: ifconfig_lagg0_ipv6 Value: inet6 accept_rtadv auto_linklocal
Variable: rtsold_enable Value: YES

Now I'm not getting anything ipv6 related and ifconfig shows:

nd6 options=2b<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>

service rtsold was running

3. removed variable rtsold_enable and unchecked ipv6 autoconfig in web ui.

I'm getting ipv6 link-local, default route, and nameserver, but no global address.

4. disabled ipv4 dhcp on interface and set static IP - no change

There are some IPv6 DHCP fixes coming in 11.3. If the issue persists for you once 11.3 is out (or if you have a chance to test during the BETA series), please create a report at bugs.ixsystems.com and post the issue number here.
