Are there any changes in the IPv6 configuration?  I have multiple =
machines.  Some are still on 12.2 and one on 13.0.  I have configured =
both as described in the handbook for IPv6.  The 13.0 machine can ping =
the router just fine and the router shows in ndp:

Neighbor                             Linklayer Address  Netif Expire    =
S Flags
fe80::120c:6bff:fee9:cdf7%bge0       10:0c:6b:e9:cd:f7   bge0 23h33m12s =
S=20
fee1::230                            68:5b:35:d3:4e:da   bge0 permanent =
R=20
fe80::6a5b:35ff:fed3:4eda%bge0       68:5b:35:d3:4e:da   bge0 permanent =
R=20

The first entry is the router.  Its a real router, not a FreeBSD =
machine.

On the 12.2 systems I get from ndp:

Neighbor                             Linklayer Address  Netif Expire    =
S Flags
fee1::250                            38:c9:86:07:3b:5b   bge0 permanent =
R=20
fe80::3ac9:86ff:fe07:3b5b%bge0       38:c9:86:07:3b:5b   bge0 permanent =
R=20

The router doesn't show and ping6 of it's address yields:
PING6(56=3D40+8+8 bytes) fe80::3ac9:86ff:fe07:3b5b%bge0 --> =
fe80::120c:6bff:fee9:cdf7%bge0

Nothing more for quite awhile.

I suspect there is a configuration item needed in 12.2 that is no longer =
needed for 13 but I haven't figured out what that would be.  I have =
confirmed that the 12.2 system is receiving the router advertisements.  =
They are just being ignored.
