How to configure a static IPv6 address

Awesome. After

  • resetting the cable modem
  • restart WAN6 and LAN interface

I see in the IPv6 upstream box

  • IPv6 address aaaa:bbbb:cccc,dddd
  • Prefix delegated aaaa:bbbb:cccc,eeee /60

On the WAN6 interface there is

  • two IPv6 addresses - one with /46 and on /128
  • PD delegation aaaa:bbbb:cccc,eeee /60

On the LAN

  • IPv6 aaaa:bbbb:cccc,eeee /60

And the tutorial IPv6 check is passing successfully.

The (for me) funny thing is: It is most likely the same situation as 2-3 weeks earlier
But: Now I begin to understand what I am seeing and what was missing

Thanks a lot to all of you! I have asked lots of people around "do you understand" IPv6 and 100% answered with "no". This is cool getting started with it!

I will run tcpdump -n host 192.168.0.1 (cable modem) host and check the DHCPv6 negotiation, I think this is just another must lesson in the learning course :slight_smile:
