      Hi, I'm trying to setup ipv6 on my pfsense without success.

      My ISP provider provides an IPv6 Framed Adresse (WAN): 2a01:1111:2222::1234/128 via DHCP6 on the WAN Interface
      and a single IPv6 Framed Route (LAN): 2a01:3333:4444::/64 to use on LAN side

      I want to disable SLAAC on LAN and use exclusively a DHCPv6 RA configuration with a prefix delegation size of /96 for my LAN segments (mixed IPv4/IPv6)

      • How can I configure DHCPv6 RA on pfSense while having to use DHCPv6 client on WAN interface?

        when I try to enable DHCPv6 an Error is displayed:

        The DHCPv6 Server can only be enabled on interfaces configured with a static IPv6 address. This system has none.

      • There is no option to setup a static IP on LAN interface available.

      Can anyone give me a hint on how to configure pfsense for such environment, please?

        Don't.
        If you do it anyway, you have to configure your LANs manually static. And this only make sense, if your prefix is somewhat stable. If it is not, ditch this approach completely.

          Thanks for reply, The LAN ipv6 net ist fixed. So this should be no problem. Just the WAN ipv6 address must be gathered via DHCPv6 my ISP tells me.

          I did not see an option to define a static IPv6 Address on my LAN interface and also want it to have a /96 address on LAN DHCPv6 RA for that VLAN

            Then you have to watch closer.

              @Bob-Dig I want to have IPv4 and IPv6 concurrently so that a migration scenario is possible and clients that are not supporting IPv6 can be still used.

                  I added a static Virtual IPv6 /64 to the WAN Interfcae, but that static IPv6 will not be recognized by the DHCPv6 Service.
                  It still display the error:

                  The DHCPv6 Server can only be enabled on interfaces configured with a static IPv6 address. This system has none.
