Further IPv6 adresses bugs

[Reiner030]

Hi,

I saw that the behavior is fixed for /32 mask on IPv6 adresses:
https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense/commit/cb2b59b89b4d7fb6449c0f45d142302dd2029373
but there are more problem with it.

We had an /32 for instance: xxxx:xxxx::1 and I could handle these addresses right if only the last Hexadectet is changed.
We use actually only first /48 block this AS and split it up into 8 main parts which are splitted onto 2 gateways.

When I try to setup the 2nd gw/fw on this network and use the most upper addresses like:
xxxx:xxxx:0:xxxx:1 I got several errors.

0. Interfaces are setup right but

1. CARP virtual IP cannot be saved right… I got:
           The following input errors were detected:
           This IPv4 address is being used by another interface or VIP.

+ IP address is saved but network mask is set to /24 (and also on interface)
  + I got always only this error message; there is NO "Apply changes" buttons after the change.
  + CARP sync has same problems... slave firewall hold the old IPv6 address and got 2 additional IPv6 addresses in my tests
      (after reboot of server there is only the right IPv6 address with /24 mask)

2. Gateway with this IPv6 address/mask
           The following input errors were detected:
           A valid gateway IP address must be specified.

+ IP address is NOT saved (still old IP)
  + I got always only this error message with no change but there is an "Apply changes" buttons after the change.

I hope my ping/routing problems are only a fault of this behavior (not further tested because of above problems).

forgotten:

I use on all servers:
    2.1-BETA1 (amd64)
    built on Thu Feb 14 04:54:28 EST 2013
    FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p5

And I found out that on most servers its possible to set the necessary IPv6 addresses if I use the complete form:
xxxx:xxxx:0:xxxx:0:0:0:1

But I'm a little confused:

• on my border gateway firewalls I can't set the 2nd gateway in this form
• on my inner firewalls I can set them sucessfully.
  (- virtual CARP addresses can be setup an all correctly
     but when I wrote xxxx:xxxx:0:0:0:0:0:1 automatically mask /24 is written)

@Reiner030:

But I'm a little confused:

When I try to delete the gateway and set it completely news I got the error that it's in a GW group…
After removing it from my gw group I found  all my GW's tries ^^

old one:  xxxx:xxxx::fe
new one: xxxx:xxxx:0:ffff:1
new one: xxxx:xxxx:0:ffff:0:0:0:1

So there seems an IPv6 bug with GW within a GW group, too.
