thats a backwards way of thinking about ip addresses, because of ipv4. Ipv6 you should think different.

I repeat, you do not want to break it down. You will run into many issues with the auto configuration.

just answering the question. What is backwards is not being assigned a /56 prefix

Yeah but you aren’t explaining anything in a meaningful way here to say why not or how it should he done.
Assume I have absolutely no clue what a /64 means here.
Tinuva

I have in fact explained it a few times, maybe just not in a way that convey the reasoning in a way you understand.
The smallest subnet you want for a vlan, is a /64, because that is the smallest range a network card's mac address will fit in to for ipv6 auto configuration.

But that’s the part which doesn’t make sense.
Afrihost has assigned a /64 to me and behind that I some 80+ devices auto configured now without issue.
Doesn’t the MAC address only come into play for SLAAC configs?
Tinuva
The Magician
if you have a single lan, as in, you dont have multiple vlans, then a single /64 is enough.
Are you sure they only assigned you a single /64 though?
Tinuva
The Magician
Yes, but the recommendation even without SLAAC is to still use a /64 per vlan.

I wouldn’t know how to even see otherwise.
The UniFi OS interface is very lacking and borderline Beta with this and I’m yet to go deep into the logs or the console to see what is happening there.
It’s possible, but that feels like a Thursday exercise.
I would probably need to setup the VLAN and attach the WAN to see if any other gateway shows up.
Tinuva

ok so technically this is what you should have.
On the WAN side, eg. the pppoe interface, a whole /64 where there will only ever 2 ips in use, 1 ip on the afristhost side, 1 ip on your router.
Then in the dhcp client, you should see a prefix that is delegated to you. This can be anything from a big /48 or down to another /64.
Your router should then use this as a pool, to assigned /64 prefixes to every vlan you configure on the LAN side.

From what I recall, you should get a /62 prefix on all FNO's with the exception of Vumatel active ethernet (trenched). It was mentioned most consumer grade routers only do /64 prefixes. I would have thought that a Unifi router would handle the /62 prefix.
IPv6 Roll Out
Vumatel clients need to please enable Ipv6 in their routers. We are in the final stages of implementation and clients will get a /56 PD and IA-NA from our new prefix 2c0e:7f00::/28 These are dynamic but are unlikely to change. We can set them to a static which will stay unless you change tech...

There is a lot to be done to get IPv6 going in the home and the posts above show exactly this, we’re all wired into IPv4 way of thinking and operating
I got a v6 setup with my Frogfoot/Websquad line and it worked great except that I couldn’t get my pi hole setup to also filter the v6 requests so I deactivated it
Maybe I’ll try get it working again and use the experience to learn

UniFi OS is very lean in IPv6 management compared to other systems, you can’t even see what the assigned IP is for a specific device (aside from the gateway)

Exactly my problem and where things get hairy.
Have not seen this with the Fortigates and Mikrotiks before but then also never tried to roll out IPv6 to LAN with them.
Does this apply to Frogfoot as well?

Hi @Afrigirl @AfriGuy or any other forum members with IPV6 on Openserve.
With the outage the past couple of days I could connect to IPV4 network from time to time, but not IPV6.
Now since it seems to be sorted, i still could not get an IPV6 connection going until I changed the PD size on my PFSense router to /56.
Could it be that we now get a /56 instead of a /60?

my hint is at 60 but I see I have been assigned a /56

as i mentioned in the other thread my ipv4 has not changed at all despite being pppoe'd to cybersmart for a few hours and disconnecting a number of other times.. im wondering if this is more of a 'switching stuff off to make sure its stable' thing

This morning after the fix, we are back to /60 prefix. My /56 config did not work anymore.
