Prefix Delegation From address is not a valid IPv6 Netmask …
-
I have fixed IP & My Service provider granted me a IPv6 which is correctly configured.
The IPv6 is correctly configured & I can ping the outside world

Prefix delegation Mask : 2a02:2788:feff:1300::/64
LANinterface has therefore been assigned the following IP : 2a02:2788:feff:1300::1I thought it was time to have my UBUNTU configured in IPv6.
First going on the pfSense
Services –> DHCPv6 Server & RA --> LAN -->DHCPv6 ServerI completed all the informations the best I could as indicate in the attached image but I always received the following :
The following input errors were detected:Prefix Delegation From address is not a valid IPv6 Netmask for 2a02:2788:feff:1300::/64
Prefix Delegation To address is not a valid IPv6 Netmask for 2a02:2788:feff:1300::/64I do not understand what I am doing wrong ???

Why are you trying to use a DHCP server? It's normally not needed with IPv6. Using SLAAC, an IPv6 address is automagically created from the prefix and NIC MAC address or a random number. You may have one, the other or both. The random number address will change periodically and you'll have a few deprecated addresses.

Because, it does not find the route …

Don't do Prefix Delegation Range in your DHCP-config, if you just want a DHCP-server for your LAN (Ubuntu-client).
You probably do not want to delegate a block to the next router ? Anyway a /64 is not correct.But you do not need an active DHCP-server as indicated. Maybe disable the DHCP-server ?
Then to start with IPv6, first try "Track Interface" on the LAN IPv6 configuration page.
This will hand-out a suitable subnet value in a /64 format, with and from your ISP prefix assignment to your LAN.
Now you can expect RA, a route, the SLAAC method to let the LAN & Ubuntu-box make an IP.Next from here you could activate and experiment with DHCP6-Server and RA configs.

OK
I think I understand what I did wrong in the DHCP v6 configuration but if I try to do as you suggest, I have the following now :
WAN interface in IP v6 is set to 2a02:2788:feff:006a::8
Gtw for the WAN is 2a02:2788:feff:006a::1 when this is set, I can ping the opendns/google ipv6 hosts (actually I did a traceroute6 to google DNS)!Now I go to the LAN configuration and choose IPv6 configuration type : Track Interface
I need then to fill the "Track IPv6 interface" but the Drop down box is not filled.\T,
