      So I noticed my ipv6 stopped working??

      DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation size, it stays on none - if I change it to 64 it just goes back to none..  Can not get this changed?

      Currently running

      2.1-BETA1 (i386)
      built on Mon Feb 4 03:44:55 EST 2013
      FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p5

      You are on the latest version.  So I get an IPv6 address on wan since its set to dhcpv6 – but I get a 2001 address with a /128 prefix vs being being able to get a /64 and my lan is not working with track with this setup.

      And gitsync as of a few minutes ago.

      ok just noticed, I can put in 48 through 63 and it says in the gui..  But if I put in 64 it just jumps back to none.

        The variable check is too strict, apply https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense/pull/374 to fix.

          ok I did a gitsync and now I can set 64 in the delegation section on the wan.. But still getting a /128 on the wan interface and either nothing or if I toggle tracking on lan I have seen 2001 address that looks to be in the same prefix as what I get on the wan

          2001:558:6033:12c::1

          where wan /128 is 2001:558:6033:12c:1477:7c9d:b69f:a3d3

          Before when it was working my lan would be for example 2601:d:8b80:bf::1, this is the old address I had.  I thought comcast was using the 2601 for their /64

          If I reboot then I don't show that ipv6 on the lan, but if I toggle none to tracking on the lan then the 2001 address shows up.

          What can I do to help troubleshoot the issue?

          edit:  If I look in var/etc/dhcp6c_wan.conf

          
          interface em1 {
                  send ia-na 0;   # request stateful address
                  send ia-pd 0;   # request prefix delegation
          request domain-name-servers;
          request domain-name;
          script "/var/etc/dhcp6c_wan_script.sh"; # we'd like some nameservers please
          };
          id-assoc na 0 { };
          id-assoc pd 0 {
          };
          
          

          That id-assoc pd doesn't look right - should something be in there vs empty {}?

          edit: ok rebooted again and now I get 2601:d:8b80:c0:250:56ff:fe00:2

          As lan IPv6 address, and if I set one of my lan boxes to use that as gateway and set its IPv6 to 2601:d:8b80:c0::666 it works, I can ping ipv6.google.com from the lan box, etc.

          but should the track IPv6 be first IP in the prefix?  And now if I look in dhcp6c_wan.conf, I see

          
          interface em1 {
                  send ia-na 0;   # request stateful address
                  send ia-pd 0;   # request prefix delegation
          request domain-name-servers;
          request domain-name;
          script "/var/etc/dhcp6c_wan_script.sh"; # we'd like some nameservers please
          };
          id-assoc na 0 { };
          id-assoc pd 0 {
                  prefix-interface em0 {
                          sla-id 0;
                          sla-len 0;
                  };
          };

            I'm wondering did you enter 0 into the "IPv6 Prefix ID" field or leave it blank?

              Ok it was 0, I have deleted that and is now blank and rebooting.. Lets see what I get back on reboot.. Will edit post once it finishes reboot.

              So I changed it to blank and got NOTHING now for lan ipv6 other than linklocal

              And file is now

              
              interface em1 {
                      send ia-na 0;   # request stateful address
                      send ia-pd 0;   # request prefix delegation
              request domain-name-servers;
              request domain-name;
              script "/var/etc/dhcp6c_wan_script.sh"; # we'd like some nameservers please
              };
              id-assoc na 0 { };
              id-assoc pd 0 {
              };
              
              

              Again – changing it back to 0 and rebooting again.

              So once I changed it to 0 before reboot when I look at status for lan I showed this again
              IPv6 address 2001:558:6033:12c::1

              edit: ok after setting back to 0 on lan interface and rebooting I am now getting
              IPv6 address 2601:d:8b80:c0:250:56ff:fe00:2

              Again -- this is working, but pretty shitting address for your gateway ;)  Why would it be such an address and not like 2601:d:8b80:bf::1 where it was before?  I would think the address should be 2601:d:8b80:c0::1
