      I'm new to IPv6.
      If I've understood google correct, what I'm asking might be impossible,
      but I'd like to make sure before I give up.

      So first the background:

      • My ISP provides IPv6 in the form of 6rd
      • The "6RD Prefix" of my ISP is 32 bits
      • Any other value than 0 in "6RD IPv4 Prefix length" seems to drop my connection.

      I'd like to have multiple vlans, but for the sake of clarity I'll talk about two. Let them
      be lan and guest. I would like to provide them both with IPv6, while keeping them
      separate.

      I can set lan interface ipv6 to Track Interface wan and leave the IPv6 prefix id to 0.
      With this, I am able to get ipv6 addresses for my lan side.

      The problem comes when I try to make an identical setup on the guest side.
      IPv6 prefix 0 is used, and trying to pass anything else will just prompt me with
      an error, that only 0 is allowed.

      Is there something I can do?

        It seems the answer is no.

          Use an HE.NET tunnel or get an ISP that does real IPv6.

          DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
