LAN Interface ping problem

That's the way Linux works; all ipv6 addresses are /64.

My pfSense supplies as a dhcp6-server. This is the Raspberry(Linux) clienthost pick-up:

you shouldn't be getting a /128 on your pi… The smallest prefix with ipv6 is /64.. And its not just linux that works that way its every OS there is that can work with IPv6..
anything other /64 is going to break all kinds of shit from working correctly..
-
Maybe just an artifact from PI Linux?
Just spun up a fresh CentOS 6.7 VM with ipv6 dhcp client, addresses come up as /64 as expected. -
my pi is /64
Also dhcpv6 doesn't hand out a prefix length, that comes from the RA.. So maybe you have a problem there? What does your configuration on the pi look like for interfaces?

@johnpoz
Out of curiosity, what do you use your PI for? An actual purpose or just a novelty? -
I have done quite a few things with it, currently it monitors one of my UPSes, I did at one time have it logging all the power in my house via a currentcost device plugged into via usb. I have a project on the back burner to set it up as a stratum 1 ntp server..
But think I will just do that with the new one I am ordering, and waiting for the new cheaper $5 ones to be off back order ;) For a project to put my cigar humidor online..
This current ones final home is going to monitor the ups in my AV cabinet in the living room.. If I ever get around to moving it - its currently in my computer room connected the ups on my esxi box. I got a new bigger ups for the esxi box (more run time).. Kind of cool when whole block looses power and my internet works and even my wifi (poe) for like an hour.. Normally outages don't last any longer than that..

Ok I have another question.
If ISP give me /64 by SLAAC. How I need configure LAN interface

You can't 'give a /64' by SLAAC - SLAAC allows devices to autonomously assign (single) IPv6 addresses within a prefix.
Typically SLAAC is used to get a global IPv6 address for the ISP facing interface (the WAN interface of your device) and DHCP-PD is used to delegate IPv6 prefixes to your local interfaces. This is one variant of the typical ISP configuration defined in TR-187.
If you use PPPoE or PPP to access your ISP, there's several important IPv6 fixes in 2.3.

Thanks guys, a bit OT, but hey maybe you like the info:
The /etc/network/interfaces !did contain (iface eth0 inet6 dhcp), this controls a /64 address with /etc/wide-dhcp6c/dhcp6c.conf.
In /etc/default/wide-dhcpv6-client there was (INTERFACES="eth0"), this gets/adds an (second) address as a /128.
If the pfSense DHCPv6-Server allows a clienthost a /64, it is not showing up in Status-DHCPv6-leases, while as a /128 it is :) //2.2.6 -
-
Yup, my ISP has it exactly like this.
Was nightmare to configure on early 2.2.X and 2.3 builds via GUI, via conf file went just fine. -
Ok. My ISP say it's name eui-64
And when I set SLAAC on WAN interface type I get IP. -
@hda:
This is one variant of the typical ISP configuration defined in TR-187.
That' s interesting ! Thank you David :)
For completeness, the other variant of TR-187 is WAN IPv6 address via DHCPv6, prefixes delegated to local network(s) via DHCP-PD. In other words, the ISP has a choice of whether to use DHCPv6 or SLAAC for allocating WAN IP addresses. My ISP, Zen Internet, uses SLAAC.
If you configure pfSense to use DHCP6 with prefix delegation, it will work with both the DHCPv6 and SLAAC variants of TR-187.

I dusted off my raspberry pi over the weekend, and installed latest NOOBS + raspbian, sure enough it comes up with /128 in addition to /64.
The /128 is the address assigned by the DHCP server; the /64, I guess it is deciding thru SLAAC on its own because of RA. I have some android clients on the network, so need SLAAC too.
radvd on pfsense 2.2.4 is set to Assisted, with the RA Subnet set to WWWW:XXXX:YYYY:ZZZZ::/64
Win2K8 DHCP server is handing out IPs in WWWW:XXXX:YYYY:ZZZZ::/64
Resolv.conf on PI ends up with Domain Controller IPv4+IPv6 IP as well as pfSense IPv6 IP, not ideal since it doesn't have any knowledge of the domain. Strange that it ended up with the pfSense IPv6 IP because the DNS Servers entry is blank in the RA config tab.eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr b8:27:eb:35:53:31 inet addr:10.2.95.18 Bcast:10.2.95.255 Mask:255.255.254.0 inet6 addr: WWWW:XXXX:YYYY:ZZZZ:fcef:f7d6:12c3:f393/64 Scope:Global inet6 addr: fe80::bd6c:2ed5:a452:1eff/64 Scope:Link inet6 addr: WWWW:XXXX:YYYY:ZZZZ:c439:ca13:15f5:31a9/128 Scope:Global UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:80378 errors:0 dropped:5856 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4106 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:6121679 (5.8 MiB) TX bytes:662612 (647.0 KiB) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 34:08:04:a0:5d:3d inet addr:10.2.95.20 Bcast:10.2.95.255 Mask:255.255.254.0 inet6 addr: WWWW:XXXX:YYYY:ZZZZ:927a:28a4:a3e3:73f8/128 Scope:Global inet6 addr: fe80::b69e:3850:a1d0:6935/64 Scope:Link inet6 addr: WWWW:XXXX:YYYY:ZZZZ:d9d4:1377:f075:8c05/64 Scope:Global UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:315611 errors:0 dropped:17236 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:325 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:121355585 (115.7 MiB) TX bytes:63491 (62.0 KiB)
