Assigning static IPv6 IPs within delegated prefix?

@jhg They can be set on the DHCP6 Server tab under DHCPv6 Static Mappings. One can use Status/DHCPv6 Leases and click the [+] icon to add the mapping.
In the pool you can use something like "::1000" to "::2000" or "::ffff" or whatever and that uses the beginning of the prefix, ending with that range.
However many devices/browsers/programs use temporary IPv6 addresses so one can be assigned but it will likely use others.

With SLAAC, you have one address that does not change. If you want a specific address, you can assign a MAC address that will provide that address. This will require using the MAC address to generate the consistent address, rather than a random number.

@JKnott I guess my question wasn't well phrased. I'll post a rephrased version as a new question and delete this question in a few hours.
