[FROG] BGP_NLRI_MISMATCH Problem

Dears,

we are struggeling with a setup, where we have a BGP setup with our carrier and IPv4 works just fine (two endpoints on our side, two on theirs) on the same two connections we are also trying to advertise IPv6 prefixes, however, in that case the carrier router spits out this error message. The FRR is running on a pfsense on our side, however, there is no need to use the ui to do the configuration, we did that already on the CLI.

BGP_NLRI_MISMATCH: bgp_process_caps: mismatch NLRI with 2001:xxxx:x:x:x:x:xx:xxxx (External AS 1xxxx): peer: <inet-unicast inet6-unicast>(17) us: <inet6-unicast>(16) (instance master)

Which tells me that we are offering IPv6 and IPv4 but they only want ipv6, correct ?

The configuration on our side is as follows

frr version 7.5.1
frr defaults traditional
hostname XXXXXX
service integrated-vtysh-config
!
password some_password
!
ip router-id 62.xx.xx.x

any help on how to continue with this is very much appreciated. We have no idea what to do here

Cheers
