Hi, I have a host (desktop) with em(4) network card.
em0 at pci0 dev 25 function 0 "Intel I217-LM" rev 0x04: msi, address 8c:dc:d4:30:35:90 This host has both ipv4 and ipv6 connectivity. I have regulary a problem to connect to it using ipv6, whereas it works reliabily with ipv4. Usually, I need to connect with ipv4, ran tcpdump while trying to connect with ipv6, and it works. Here the first packets received/sent with tcpdump: # tcpdump -n -i em0 15:06:59.567147 c8:be:19:e2:2c:ed 33:33:ff:fc:bf:56 ip6 86: fd00:65c6:f26a:5c::1 > ff02::1:fffc:bf56: icmp6: neighbor sol: who has fd00:65c6:f26a:5c:452e:64ab:3ffc:bf56 15:06:59.567196 8c:dc:d4:30:35:90 c8:be:19:e2:2c:ed ip6 86: fd00:65c6:f26a:5c:452e:64ab:3ffc:bf56 > fd00:65c6:f26a:5c::1: icmp6: neighbor adv: tgt is fd00:65c6:f26a:5c:452e:64ab:3ffc:bf56 15:06:59.567757 c8:be:19:e2:2c:ed 8c:dc:d4:30:35:90 ip6 118: fd00:65c6:f26a:5c::1 > fd00:65c6:f26a:5c:452e:64ab:3ffc:bf56: icmp6: echo request If I ran tcpdump -p (Do not put the interface into promiscuous mode), I see nothing. It seems the first packet (neighbor solicitation) isn't considered to be delivered to the host. I have this behaviour only on this host (sole with em0 on my network). # cat /etc/hostname.em0 inet autoconf inet6 autoconf # ifconfig em0 em0: flags=a48843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,AUTOCONF6TEMP,AUTOCONF6,AUTOCONF4> mtu 1500 lladdr 8c:dc:d4:30:35:90 index 1 priority 0 llprio 3 groups: egress media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT full-duplex) status: active inet6 fe80::8edc:d4ff:fe30:3590%em0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 192.168.92.28 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.92.255 inet6 fd00:65c6:f26a:5c:452e:64ab:3ffc:bf56 prefixlen 64 autoconf pltime 604516 vltime 2591716 inet6 fd00:65c6:f26a:5c:cde8:b2dd:fdaf:e723 prefixlen 64 deprecated autoconf temporary pltime 0 vltime 91611 inet6 2001:41d0:fe39:c05c:6add:63bc:effd:fd80 prefixlen 64 autoconf pltime 604516 vltime 2591716 inet6 2001:41d0:fe39:c05c:2f46:166b:ef21:feb9 prefixlen 64 deprecated autoconf temporary pltime 0 vltime 91611 inet6 2001:41d0:fe39:c05c:63b7:f7f8:871f:e991 prefixlen 64 autoconf temporary pltime 58755 vltime 151396 inet6 fd00:65c6:f26a:5c:54cd:a5d2:6e60:7f4f prefixlen 64 autoconf temporary pltime 61607 vltime 160966 I have two ipv6 addresses: one public and one local to the network (to be able to connect to it using ipv6 even if upstream is dead and public prefix not advertised anymore). # dmesg OpenBSD 7.2-beta (GENERIC.MP) #714: Fri Sep 2 15:20:16 MDT 2022 dera...@amd64.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP real mem = 8470900736 (8078MB) avail mem = 8196775936 (7817MB) random: good seed from bootblocks mpath0 at root scsibus0 at mpath0: 256 targets mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 2.7 @ 0xe85b3 (70 entries) bios0: vendor Hewlett-Packard version "L01 v02.57" date 12/11/2014 bios0: Hewlett-Packard HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF acpi0 at bios0: ACPI 5.0 acpi0: sleep states S0 S3 S4 S5 acpi0: tables DSDT FACP APIC FPDT SSDT SSDT SSDT MCFG HPET SSDT SSDT SSDT SLIC MSDM ASF!
