      Hey there!

      At last, IPv6 is available from my ISP. They have informed me to use DHCPv6 and Prefix Delegation and a /60 network. (No SLAAC)
      My WAN-interface is configured with DHCPv6 and prefix delegation size set to 60.
      WAN-interface receives a public IPv6 address with /128 prefix. (2a02:fe0:cf00…...)
      I have also enabled DHCPv6 and PD with size set to 60 on my LAN interface, but i get no IPv6-addresses on the inside or the pfSense-interface.

      Any tips? Never fiddled around with prefix delegation before.

      Running 2.1-BETA0, July 5.

      Thanks!

        you set the wan to dhcp-pd prefix size 60

        You set the lan to track interface wan. That should be enough.

          I tried to enable track interface on a couple of my LAN-interfaces.
          What happens, is that both interfaces get the same link local address, fe80::1:1 (loopback ip?)
          Even when i disable IPv6 on both these interfaces, fe80::1:1 is still the active link local address.

          I have two physical interfaces, one for WAN and one where all my LAN interfaces are VLAN-tagged. All LAN and OPT-interfaces are renamed.

          The log also outputs this when i track the WAN-interface:
