Voodoo, indeed... I'm sure there's a /48 used somewhere but to be more specific, or rather obvious, my default gateway resides at the boundary of a /56 - 2001:41D0:2:E700::/56 If you pay close attention you will notice that the default gateway is the last usable address from that range. I had already tried this btw, I spent some time confirming what I am was seeing; what was the actual case and ways I could perhaps change the configuration to get it Just Working. However, I would rather it worked correctly and not contain a configuration option that I either do not understand it's necessity nor do I see it as necessary. I don't claim to know IPv6 inside and out but one consideration I had was that because of the host route for the default gateway FreeBSD does not solicit for the "on-link gateway" because the interface is not set to ACCEPT_RTADV. But that doesn't make immediate sense. Corrections and education welcome. > > > Kindly reply with topic "SOLVED" if that fixed you up, that googlers in the > future may find the solution easily. I would, but IMO this isn't the most optimal solution; changing my prefix length so that I can reach the gateway... Can this kind of host routing just not be done ? The way I see this issue is that without ACCEPT_RTADV on my interface FreeBSD won't attempt Neighbour Solicitation for the default gateway but I am uncertain why this is the case. Bug or policy or That's How It Works. C. -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur.
