As mentioned in previous bug issues over this last year, I finally got DHCPv6 to work on previous versions of VyOS 1.3 rolling releases.
I've been holding off switching to it because various other functionality that I need breaks and then is fixed.
At the moment, all other functionality I need seems to be working but DHCPv6 client to ISP seems to be broken again.
When I "set interfaces ethernet eth2 address dhcpv6" and then commit, no IPv6 address shows up on the eth2 interface and in the /var/log/messages I get:
Sep 4 02:38:07 vyos-summersoft dhcp6c[15564]: dhcp6_ctl_authinit: failed to open /run/dhcp6c/dhcp6c.eth2.sock: No such file or directory
My config for eth2 is as follows:
ethernet eth2 {
address XX.XXX.XXX.210/28
address XX.XXX.XXX.212/28
address XX.XXX.XXX.213/28
address XX.XXX.XXX.217/28
address dhcpv6
description "WAN Network Interface"
duplex auto
hw-id 52:54:00:bf:64:0b
speed auto
}This has worked in the past but now it seems to be broken again.

I thought all this had been resolved this last year, but evidently still problems????
Or am I doing something wrong in the config?
