Subnet a /64 into /96
-
I've a pfsense 2.1 with ipv6 running on it with 4 interfaces :
Wan,lan, dmz and wifi .I've setted up a tunnel using the pfsense documentation and he.net services.
All is running well until I decided to devide the /64 into /96 by interfaces.I've setted up 3 different ipv6 addresses on the interfaces, splitting the /64 into 3 /96
I've setted up dhcpV6 server on the 3 interfaces.My computer still receive a /64 ipv6 instead of a /96 as configured on the firewall ip adress , and shown in the dhcpv6 config page.

Request a /48 allocation from he.net.
Although not impossible i can not remember off hand if the differing sizes work. You will require that everything supports dhcp6 or static addressing. Autoconfiguration will not be possible.

Different sizing definitely works as long as everything is setup pretty static.
They recommendation is that a /64 is used as a subnet, and if you want multiple subnets you ask for a /48. /96's still provide a huge amount of scope, but this won't have been tested nearly as well as using /64's. (so may your life be an interesting one…)

Just to make this clear, you can do this, but you will lose SLAAC. And thus computers will no longer auto configure a IPv6 address.
Ofcourse setting up RA combined with a DHCP6 server will make this work, provided that all clients support static addressing (yes) or DHCP6 (no).
Don't expect your phone to whizz into IPv6 action.
