Why my NetworkManager shows a IPv6 but ip addr not? They also not reachable over the internal network nor from internet?

Re: IPv6 on NetworkManager but not on ip addr command

Yes but I should receive a IPv6 from the ISP

Like this one above

2a02:168:a774:0:8973:c92c:b96f:18ba

I have three ArchLinux system and all the same problem Nm receive a IPv6 from the ISP ip addr not

I have OPNsense router which receive a IPv6 an delegate it with ddclient.

So why have nm one an the system not?

Re: IPv6 on NetworkManager but not on ip addr command

Does the following show the IPV6 route?

ip -6 r

Re: IPv6 on NetworkManager but not on ip addr command

route6 2a02:168:a774:0:8973:c92c:b96f:18ba/128 metric 100

This is a IPv6 host route and not a usable IPv6 adress. A real address starts with "inet6".

I have OPNsense router which receive a IPv6 an delegate it with ddclient.

Prefix delegation is not ddclient's job.

Your router should obtain a valid IPv6 address (as a DHCPv6 client) from your ISP for the WAN interface and a prefix for your clients. The router advertising daemon (radvd) should hand this prefix out to your clients via SLAAC.

Ok.

But no delegation of IPv6 for any client? Why? Even iPhone.

This looks like a stateful DHCPv6 server on the LAN side. Stateful DHCPv6 servers do not serve prefixes to DHCPv6 clients, but complete IPv6 addresses. Even if OPNSense starts a DHCPv6 server (prerequisite is a static IPv6 address on the LAN side) the router advertisement still has to work - and has to announce such a server via "M" flag.

So - please disable the DHCPv6 service on the LAN side and activate the router advertising (radvd) on the LAN side announcing the correct client prefix.

I did this Tutorial

https://www.tuxone.ch/2021/02/fiber7-ac … e.html?m=1

But my ISP should do both statefull and stateless

It’s now also possible to get fixed ipv6 with NM on client side?

Mod Edit - Replaced oversized image with link.
CoC - Pasting pictures and code

Re: IPv6 on NetworkManager but not on ip addr command

So you did not follow your tutorial. That said something about using "Unmanaged" or "Assisted" mode.
You'll have to set "Router advertisements" to Unmanaged (to enable SLAAC), Assisted (SLAAC or DHCPv6 allowed), Managed (to force DHCPv6). There is also Stateless DHCP (SLAAC for address assignment and DHCP for DNS/NTP)
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/lat … v6-ra.html

Re: IPv6 on NetworkManager but not on ip addr command

So I did a few changes after wasn’t working anymore.  But it’s was working flawless before. Never had problems but all possibilities don’t have a effect. So I belive its a ISP problem or a Update of OPNsene destory the setup.

Re: IPv6 on NetworkManager but not on ip addr command

The first option in this dialog (Router Advertisements: Router Only) is the reason no client receives a prefix or address.
