I struggled with this under CentOS 7. I think there is a bug.
You can run /usr/sbin/radvdump to print out RAs. Leave it running for some minutes.
I had this in my /etc/sysctl.d/50-net6.conf (on C7):
# # IPv6 Forwarding # net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1 net.ipv6.conf.default.forwarding = 1 net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra = 1 net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra = 1 # # Fix bug to received RAs from Router # Disable forwarding on enp4s0f1 interface so we still get RAs # net.ipv6.conf.enp4s0f1.forwarding = 0 #net.ipv6.conf.enp4s0f1.accept_ra = 1
where enp4s0f1 is the WAN interface. Note that ipv6 forwarding still works. I used my C7 as a firewall/gateway.
I am running 8.1 now.
