Solved Cannot reach hosts over IPv6

P

Hello FreeBSD Community,

I cannot reach any global IPv6 address on my FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p4 system hosted on Hetzner Infrastructure. This is my assigned IPv6 address:
2a01:4f8:1c1c:----::1/64
and this is the gateway:
fe80::1
which (in my understanding of the handbook) translates into these lines in rc.conf:
Code: 
ifconfig_vtnet0="DHCP"
ifconfig_vtnet0_ipv6="inet6 2a01:4f8:1c1c:----::1 prefixlen 64"
ipv6_defaultrouter="fe80::1"

After boot, this is the output of ifconfig:
Code: 
root@fbsdtest:~ # ifconfig
vtnet0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=6c07bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,TSO6,LRO,VLAN_HWTSO,LINKSTATE,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6>
        ether -------

        inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
        inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2

        nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
        groups: lo

I can ping fe80::1%vtnet0, but i cannot ping Google's IPv6 Address 2a00:1450:4001:81f::200e, for example, which results in a timeout, nor can i reach the system from my workstation.

I can see these lines via netstat -6rn:
Code: 
2a01:4f8:1c1c:----::/64           link#1                        U        vtnet0
2a01:4f8:1c1c:----::1             link#1                        UHS         lo0
so the routes should be there. Where can I start to fix this problem?

Thank you very much for your help!

fe80::1 is a local loopback address, so it cannot be your gateway.

I also doubt that this is related to routing because that would trigger an error message ("No route to host") and not a timeout.

I also hire machines at Hetzner's with similar configurations (but running FreeBSD 12).


Code: 
ifconfig_vtnet0="DHCP"
ifconfig_vtnet0_ipv6="inet6 2a01:4f8:1c1c:----::1 prefixlen 64"
ipv6_defaultrouter="fe80::1"

Appends %re0 to the route address. And, why calling for DHCP on inet ?

Code: 
root@matarje:~ # cat /etc/rc.conf.d/network/re0
ifconfig_re0="inet X.Y.Z.D netmask 0xffffffe0"
ifconfig_re0_ipv6="inet6 2a01:4f8:a0:xxxx prefixlen 64

I recently had to open a ticket about issues regarding ipV6 for one machine. Once the support team operated a sort of table refresh on a router, ipv6 runs fine.

Thank you, adding the interface to the IPv6 gateway fixed the problem!
