Static LAN IP: Can't enter IPv6 address/netmask for all IPv6 addresses
(Static LAN IP: Can't enter IPv6 address/netmask for all IPv6 addresses)
====Workaround====
This is mostly a cosmetic bug.
====Resolution====
None yet.
 
== Web UI - Input textbox for Static LAN IPv6 address too short==
====Issue Description====
Suffering from IPv6 problems, even with a standard AAISP config file, the suggested workaround is to use a static IPv6 address assignment on the LAN.
Visit 'Network Setting' > 'Home Networking', scroll down to 'LAN IPv6 Address Setup', select 'Static'. Now simply add IPv6_address/netmask.
 
Except the input textbox isn't quite long enough, the limit is 39 characters - one could enter '1234:5678:9abc:def0:1234:5678:9abc:def0' but that's it, there's no room for the netmask (e.g. /64). So one is restricted to using a subset of IPv6 addresses which are shorter.
 
Below the 'LAN IPv6 Address Setup' is 'ULA IPv6 Address Setup' - this has separate textboxes for the IPv6 Address and Prefix Length. The same length limit applies to the IPv6 Address textbox, but it's OK because one doesn't need to add the netmask.

Use a shorter static IPv6 address.
