Through autoconfig we've an IP in our /64 block: 2001:bc8:6005:5:aa1e:84ff:fef3:5d9c

Gateway is in fe80, ie in link-local unicast addressing.

Important:

The DUID of your prefix (and each of its subnets) is like a private key and grants you access to your prefix. Keep it secret and do not share it.

Autoconfig IP isn't in our block

2001:bc8:2e84:700:: /56 should be used for WindRiver addresses.

We've a DNS delegation for they block at HE.

DUID published in Vault under ops/secrets/network/DUID/2001:bc8:2e84:700::

In NetBox, a DUID custom field has been created for objects IPAM > prefixes, so we can store those paths.

Taking it as we've issues with the /128 one and I'd prefer to fix the /56 config than the /128 one.

Worked before (dhclient + routes), but on boot:

we've a correct fe80 address
no dhclient, but /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dhclient6 start does NOT complain dhclient6_enable="YES" is missing
when dhclient is started, our correct prefix is returned
no static IP assignment in current state (missing from /etc/netif/igb0_ipv6)
we can add manually IP in our prefix
routing is missing and can't be easily figured (the expectation was dhclient would take care of that)
