DHCPv6 Server + SLAAC

[mrsunfire]

Hi!

I have a /56 routet prefix on my LAN interface. I've enabled the DHCPv6 server in "Assisted" mode. My clients get an IPv6 and everything works. Expect Andoird devices and Privacy Extensions because there seems to be no SLAAC.

But why? Tought assisted means DHCPv6 + SLAAC?

Any chance to get this running?

The issue is that you're using a /56 on your LAN. IPv6 networks with actual devices connecting to them are not intended to be anything larger than /64. That's why SLAAC isn't working.

The /56 might be routed to you by your ISP, but you should be breaking that down into at least one, if not multiple (up to 256), /64 networks.

Tought pfSense is doing this for me. I was wrong. I have it to /64 back now.
