      IPv6 with multiple LAN's

      I think I'm missing a small piece of the puzzle.
      I'm able to get IPv6 to work on my primary LAN, but not on an additional TEST LAN.
      With a little research, I found that Comcast will work with:

      WAN interface (em0)
      General Config
      IPv6 Config Type DHCP6
      DHCP6 Client Config
      DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation size 59

      ScreenShot085.jpg l)

      The pfSense Dashbord shows
      WAN, LAN, TEST interfaces all UP with both ipv4 and ipv6 addresses

      LAN interface (em1)
      Able to ping -6 to various sites and reach IPv6 test sites
      General Config
      IPv6 Config Type Track Interface
      Track Ipv6 Interface
      IPv6 Interface WAN
      IPv6 Prefix ID 0

      Services / DHCPv6 Server & RA
      Enable Checked
      Range ::1000 ::2000
      Prefix size 48

      Able to ping -6 to various sites and reach IPv6 test sites

      TEST interface (em3)
      General Config
      IPv6 Config Type Track Interface
      Track Ipv6 Interface
      IPv6 Interface WAN
      IPv6 Prefix ID 1

      Services / DHCPv6 Server & RA
      Enable Checked
      Range ::1000 ::2000
      Prefix size 48
      ScreenShot087.jpg

      I get IPv6 Address and Default Gateway on a PC on the TEST LAN
      ping -6 google.com results in
      Pinging google.com [appropriate IPv6 address] with 32 bytes
      Request timed out.

      The pfSense / freeBSD console shows
      WAN (wan) -> em0 -> v4/DHCP4: 24.3.26.10/23
      v6/DHCP6: 2001:558:6035:e:a822:46cb:d41e:7c2d/128

      LAN (lan) -> em1 -> v4: 192.168.2.1/24
      v6/t6: 2603:301f:f00:0:e61f:13ff:fefa:66d0/61

      GUEST (opt1) -> em2 -> v4: 192.168.30.1/24

      TEST (opt2) -> em3 -> v4: 192.168.40.1/24
      v6/t6: 2603:301f:f00:0:e61f:13ff:fefa:66d2/61

      from ifconfig
      em0
      inet6 fe80::e61f:13ff:fefa:66d1%em0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
      inet6 2001:558:6035:e:a822:46cb:d41e:7c2d prefixlen 128

      em1
      inet6 2603:301f:f00:0:e61f:13ff:fefa:66d0 prefixlen 61
      inet6 fe80::1:1%em1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2

      em3
      inet6 2603:301f:f00:0:e61f:13ff:fefa:66d2 prefixlen 61
      inet6 fe80::1:1%em1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4

      I would appreciate any suggestions.

        Why are you getting that? The LANs should be /64. I don't see any configuration info.

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

          Not sure why it's /61. I don't see anywhere that I set that.
          What "configuration info" are you asking about ?

            Your WAN and LAN configuration settings. All I see are firewall rules.

              The configuration that I changed are in the text of the message. I can post images too.

                  Is that what your ISP is providing? The image for the WAN interface is a bit blurry, but it looks like you've selected 59. I have 56 for my ISP. Both 56 and 48 are common, though you can chose anything up to what your ISP provides. Also, you may want to select Send IPv6 prefix hint.

                    Prefix size for WAN is set at 59. That was recommended in a post perhaps on this forum. I can try other size

                      Changed to 56 and IPv6 works on the TEST lan.
                      Thanks for the help

                        What does your ISP provide? Earlier you said /48.
