      DHCP6C Log.zip [0_1565347407043_DHCP6C Log.docx](Uploading 100%) I have a FritzBox as an edge/internet router and I get a /48 IPV6 delegated to this router by my ISP. I am trying to assign a /56 to the downstream pfsense using DHCP6 and I end up getting a /57 according to the logs with an invalid prefix error message. I have attached the DHCP6C log (debug mode) . Can anyone spot an issue?

      My WAN interface on the pfsense router is set as follows

      • IPV6 - DHCP6
      • dhcpv6 prefix delegation size /56
      • Send an IPv6 prefix hint to indicate the desired prefix size for delegation (ticked)
      • debug mode (ticked)

      Also is there anyway to pass a specific prefix hint? Assuming I can get the normal prefix delegation to work[0_1565347388716_DHCP6C Log.docx](Uploading 100%)

        You can set the requested prefix in the dhcp6 settings if that's what you're asking.

        Your second attachment didn't upload correctly.

        There's no need to put log files in a docx attachment. Doing that just means far fewer people will read it. You can attach .txt file which will open directly in the browser or just put the logs in code tags:
