Greetings,

I don't think I saw your original email. I suspect because you indicated

Try following the more recent documents, specifically OSP16.1 or 16.2.

I suspect we will need to see the configuration. Paste.opendev.org?

Not seeing the expected MAC addresses is rather suspect in this case,
although PXE with v6 is a little different pattern wise. Have you tried
mirroring the port your expecting to see traffic cross from the physical
machine to see if it is seeing the announcements and issuing the DHCPv6
packets required?

Additionally is this UEFI mode or Legacy BIOS mode?
