Although we see RA's with a non-link-local source IP (bad), some more verbose output (tcpdump -vv) would've been nice. Here's a proper exchange (`tcpdump -nepvvs 1500 -i fxp0 icmp6`, in my case) : 14:40:37.579393 00:00:24:c8:e2:54 33:33:00:00:00:02 86dd 70: fe80::200:24ff:fec8:e254 > ff02::2: icmp6: router solicitation (src lladdr: 00:00:24:c8:e2:54) (len 16, hlim 255) 14:40:37.908339 00:01:80:5f:96:d4 33:33:00:00:00:01 86dd 110: fe80::201:80ff:fe5f:96d4 > ff02::1: icmp6: router advertisement(chlim=64, router_ltime=1800, reachable_time=0, retrans_time=0)(src lladdr: 00:01:80:5f:96:d4)(prefix info: LA valid_ltime=2592000, preferred_ltime=604800, prefix=2001:610:6af::/64) (len 56, hlim 255) | What interface configuration specifics would be useful? Mostly, the output of `ifconfig vic0` on the rtadvd machine, but in general it's better to give more details than less. The less assumptions we have to make (are there other machines on his network ? does he have 'interesting' pf rules ? are his sysctls set properly ? etc etc), the better we're able to help you.
