SRX5308 Ipv6 problems with Comcast

Hi All, after installing the most recent firmware I decided to finally turn on IPv6. My ISP is Comcast and they tell me they are fully compatible and ready to go with IPv6.

 

After selecting IPv4 / IPv6 mode, the router reboots and now I am picking up a fake address not a real one from comcast. The ip starts with fe80 and I have read that fc through fe addresses are not real routable addresses.

 

Has anyone else successfully configured an SRX5308 with Comcast?

      Hi I found the document "How to Configure Dynamic IPv6 Connection on a PROSAFE Firewall.pdf" from another thread and it got me going.

       

      Thank you,
