That's a configuration problem on your end. Your border router needs to notice that it's being instructed to switch delegated prefixes and instruct radvd (or whatever route advertising daemon it's using) to advertise the now-defunct prefixes with a zero lifetime just before or just as you're advertising the new prefixes.
With this information, devices on your LAN that aren't asleep will do the right thing, and devices that were asleep should reconfigure their network interfaces when they wake up... assuming that the world hasn't changed while they've been asleep is something only morons would do (coughAppleComputerscough).
- ninkendo 2y agortadvd does support advertising old prefixes with zero lifetime to rescind them. rad does not. I’ll let you guess what daemon is deprecated, and what daemon is the new one you’re supposed to use in OpenBSD. https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20180724072205 https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20180724072205

- ninkendo 2y agoOh just fuck right off. You’re already following me around from thread to thread calling me names and now you’re saying I’m using “bad software” for using the built-in, recommended router advertisement daemon on the operating system that has historically always been the absolute best in class at IPv6. You’re being argumentative, you won’t admit when you’re wrong, you treat me like an idiot; in short, you’re a fucking troll. Stop posting.
- simoncion 2y agoAh. Apologies. With the benefit of hindsight, I can see how my "Oh, that's sad." comment could be misconstrued. My intention here was to say that the fact that the 'rad' software fails to advertise prefixes with a zero lifetime is sad. That's like basic, essential functionality and it's always sad when software fails to implement basic, essential functionality. My intention was NOT to assert that your configuration (or -worse- you, yourself) was sad or whatever. > ...now you’re saying I’m using “bad software” for using the built-in, recommended router advertisement daemon... Yes? It's possible for the recommended thing to be bad software. If you haven't discovered this, you DEFINITELY will as time goes on.
- simoncion 2y agoAlso, apologies for the huge delay in replying. Apparently my comment to you and your comment to me got flagged. I don't read replies while logged in, so I totally missed that this conversation was ongoing.
