      I have a vlan200 interface, and I wanted to set a static ipv6 address of
      fdf5:4443:aabb:200::1/64

      but after hitting apply in pfsense, i get a "The changes have been applied successfully." message, but in reality it fails:

      php-fpm[92471]: /interfaces.php: The command '/sbin/ifconfig 'igb1_vlan200' inet6 fdf5:4d23:ab9b:200::1 prefixlen '64'' returned exit code '1', the output was 'ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists'

      unbound stops working too, because

      unbound: [77852:0] error: cannot parse netblock: '/'
      unbound: [77852:0] error: cannot parse netblock: '/'
      unbound: [77852:0] error: cannot parse access control: / allow
      unbound: [77852:0] error: cannot parse access control: / allow

      But if instead of setting the ipv6 address of the interface to
      fdf5:4443:aabb:200::1/64
      I set it to
      fdf5:4443:aabb:20::1/64

      everything works as expected.

      Am I doing something wrong here? Can someone please help me understand what's going on?
