<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">The following input errors were detected:<br />
The gateway address xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:ba8::1 does not lie within one of the chosen interface's subnets.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Problem is that is indeed the interface subnet (This is on a GIF tunnel with HE.net).<br />
Interface IPv6 subnet: xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:ba8::2/64.</p>
<p dir="auto">However in the actual underlying config, I see this:<br />
On the CLI login welcome screen:</p>
<pre><code>
 HENETV6_US (opt6) -&gt; gif0       -&gt; v6: xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:ba8::2/128

</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">and ifconfig gif0:</p>
<pre><code>
gif0: flags=8051 &lt;up,pointopoint,running,multicast&gt;metric 0 mtu 1280
        options=80000 &lt;linkstate&gt;tunnel inet xx.xx.xx.xx --&gt; 209.51.161.14
        inet6 xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:ba8::2 --&gt; xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:ba8::1 prefixlen 128 
        inet6 fe80::20c:29ff:feba:cb9e%gif0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x11 
        nd6 options=21 &lt;performnud,auto_linklocal&gt;&lt;/performnud,auto_linklocal&gt;&lt;/linkstate&gt;&lt;/up,pointopoint,running,multicast&gt; 
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Notice the /128 netmask?!  If the web gui is checking the actual interface netmask as opposed to the config entered into the Interface screen, then I can understand why this is failing.</p>
<p dir="auto">Anyone experience this?</p>
