Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I update OPNsense and reboot, radvd sends out a router advertisement setting preferred lifetime to 0 causing all my clients to deprecate the prefix. This is intended behavour, because radvds DeprecatePrefix is set to on in the config.
DeprecatePrefix on|off
Upon shutdown, this option will cause radvd to deprecate the
prefix by announcing it in the radvd shutdown RA with a zero
preferred lifetime and a valid lifetime slightly greater than 2
hours. This will encourage end-nodes using this prefix to depre-
cate any associated addresses immediately. Note that this option
should only be used when only one router is announcing the pre-
fix onto the link, otherwise end-nodes will deprecate associated
addresses despite the prefix still being valid for preferred
use.
See RFC4862, section 5.5.3., "Router Advertisement Processing",
part (e).
Default: off
I understand that this option is on by default and I'd suggest leaving it that way. It makes the switch to a new prefix when using dynamic prefixes painless.
I've got a static prefix from my ISP so my LAN prefix never changes. When OPNsense reboots I loose internet access (that's expected) but I also loose LAN connectivity due to the deprecated prefix. I need to fall back to the link local addresses.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to have a checkbox in the OPNsense Router Advertisements GUI where I can toggle DeprecatePrefix to on or off.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Static IPv6 addresses for everything.
