How to tell if you got a /60 (PD)?
-
I verified with my ISP that they support /60 prefix requests for DHCP6-PD. I couldn't find a confirmation in the WebGUI that that is what I had obtained.
For those of you who use /60's how do you know that you actually got it?
The only thing I could find was in the logfile.

Try typing ifconfig into console?

One easy way to tell is by splitting it up into /64's (one per LAN-side interface). Unless you're doing something like that further downstream, why would you want a /60 on your LAN to begin with?

It's not for the LAN. I wanted an extra /64 for an OpenVPN roadwarrior connection. Right now when I use it on my phone I get a split tunnel. IPv4 stuff goes over openVPN with no problem. The IPv6 stuff stays on the cellular connection.
I suppose I could have tried to get a /63 instead but most discussion is about /60 so I got the feeling it is better supported.
I didn't think of ifconfig because the routing table didn't show it. Which in retrospect, was correct. Only the first /64 would be assigned automatically to re1(LAN). The rest would have to be assigned somewhere. With only 1 LAN, it's not immediately obvious from the WebGUI if you actually get a /60 (or other prefix size).
I'll try ifconfig later tonight.
Thanks
