just got my shiny new RN628X, installed the harddisks and latest OS updates and now it shows some really odd behaviour when configuring IPv6 on eth2 (first 10GE port).
I want to use static IPv6 addressing but after configuring everything and hitting save the nic status in the GUI still shows the old address (a /64) assigned via slac. Sometimes when entering the settings page again it shows the static settings I've configured, sometimes it shows the default settings.
After a reboot the unit seems to accept the static settings but it's using a weird prefix length of /55 instead of the configured /64. It still takes another /64 via slac so I dont really know where this weird prefix length comes from. It doesnt matter whatever I configure as prefix length though, it's always using some weird value. Accordingly IPv6 routing is utterly broken since we're using tons of /64's.
Can anyone point me in the right direction and tell me what I'm doing wrong? My old synology nas works just nicely in the same VLAN and shows now IPv6 issues at all, it's just old and slow...
Regards,

All right, found out how to fix this but it sounds like a bad joke to me having to do this on a $$$$ NAS. IMHO working networking is one of the basics I should expect of a NAS. Backed up the network config, found out how the NAS handles this. Looking at the configfile /var/lib/connman/ethernet_MAC_cable/settings via ssh I can see the line "IPv6.netmask_prefixlen=54" although the webinterface clearly shows 64 everywhere. Correcting this using connmanctl and then "config ethernet_MAC_cable --ipv6 manual whatever:1::1011 64 whatever:100:1::1" fixes this issue. So something between the webinterface<>real config seems to be amiss.
