Ipv6 address via dhcp however not able to ping

Hello,

I am new to ipv6, when I checked my status page I saw that my WAN interface had an ipv6 address. This led me to think about enabling it behind the router.

I however cannot seem to get it to work on the router itself.


ifconfig -a
bge0: flags=8843 <up,broadcast,running,simplex,multicast>metric 0 mtu 1500

I tried to make sure it wasn't a routing issue

When I ping my monitor I can see a response:


ping6 fe80::213:5fff:fe06:3ed9

16 bytes from fe80::213:5fff:fe06:3ed9%bge0, icmp_seq=1 hlim=64 time=6.021 ms

Any ideas?
