Hi, I saw the article that Sonic provides /56 delegations for ipv6: https://help.sonic.com/hc/en-us/article ... 56343-IPv6

However, when I enable ipv6 on my router I receive a /64 delegation. I'd like to properly set up ipv4 and ipv6 supporting vlans on my network and need the /56. Is this a known issue / any resolution with time table? Thanks.

Hey Rohan,

I'm sorry to hear you're having troubles with the prefix delegation, it is certainly weird that you're seeing a /64 address. I checked the MAC table for the IP addresses our ONT is providing to your devices and I see a /56 address assigned to your TP-Link router.

Are you still seeing /64 on your end?

Kind regards,

Hi Brandon,

Thank you for checking. I've switched out the router and am happy to say I've received at /56 prefix. Appreciate the timely support.
