                    devices on if_bridge
           Product: Base System

Good day all,

I run a set of VM's on an if_bridge:

bridge103: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mt=
u 1500
        ether 58:9c:fc:10:ff:f5
        inet 192.168.103.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.103.255
        inet6 fe80::5a9c:fcff:fe10:fff5%bridge103 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
        inet6 2a01:4f8:190:1183::103:1 prefixlen 64

        maxage 20 holdcnt 6 proto rstp maxaddr 2000 timeout 1200
        root id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 32768 ifcost 0 port 0
        member: tap1033 flags=3D143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP>
                ifmaxaddr 0 port 9 priority 128 path cost 2000000
        member: tap1032 flags=3D143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP>
                ifmaxaddr 0 port 8 priority 128 path cost 2000000
        member: tap1031 flags=3D143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP>
                ifmaxaddr 0 port 11 priority 128 path cost 2000000
        member: tap1030 flags=3D143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP>
                ifmaxaddr 0 port 10 priority 128 path cost 2000000
        groups: bridge
        nd6 options=3D63<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV,AUTO_LINKLOCAL,NO_RADR>


IPv4 functionality is working as expected, and ipv6 on the host works
perfectly.

However no guest may ping6 its closest host inet6 address (tap1033->bridge1=
03)
and get a response.

tcpdump reveals that bridge103 received the request, but does not appear to=
 do
anything about it:

root@de1:/usr/venv/bhyve/init # tcpdump -vvi bridge103 icmp6
tcpdump: listening on bridge103, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size

            0x0000:  00d3 4dbe 3fab
20:11:54.120586 IP6 (hlim 255, next-header ICMPv6 (58) payload length: 32)

          source link-address option (1), length 8 (1): 00:d3:4d:be:3f:ab
            0x0000:  00d3 4dbe 3fab


The same is true for all other VM's that are connected via virtio/tap to an
if_bridge, bearing in mind the ICMP request is seen perhaps the problem is =
with
if_bridge.

Unfortunatly I am now somewhat out of my depth with bhyve/if_bridge_tap, I =
have
tried everything I can possible think of and am hoping someone here knows w=
hat
is causing such an issue.

Notable the inet6 that is directly assigned to each bridge is reachable from
the outside, that would be these:

em0:        inet6 2a01:4f8:190:1183::1:1 prefixlen 64
lo0:        inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
bridge102:  inet6 2a01:4f8:190:1183::102:1 prefixlen 64
bridge103:  inet6 2a01:4f8:190:1183::103:1 prefixlen 64
bridge104:  inet6 2a01:4f8:190:1183::104:1 prefixlen 64

As the VM in the above examples was  2a01:4f8:190:1183::103:2 assigned to
bridge 103, there should be no way it failed to get a response that I can s=
ee
