Replace "<your IPv6 address here>" with the first address from the prefix you've been allocated. You can see this prefix on clueless.

Replace "<your IPv6 address here>" with the first address from the prefix you've been allocated. You can see this prefix on clueless. By default, A&A will allocate a /48 prefix, but will only route it to your line in /56 or /64 chunks. For example, your prefix might be: 2001:db8:b9::/48. You might have 2001:db8:b9:2041::/64 routed to your line. In this example, you'd use "2001:db8:b9:2041::1" as your IPv6 address.
