The easiest approach is to use prefix delegation from the WAN to provide the network address. This is achieved by configuration of the ''wan'' interface to obtain the IPv6 address automatically, and to delegate IPv6 addresses downstream. |

Then on the ''lan'' interface configure the IPv6 prefix filter to ''wan_6'' and set the IPv6 assignment length to 64. There is a choice of the suffix to append to the prefix - popular choices would be ''::1'' (to use that fixed value), or ''eui64'' (to use an address based on the MAC address). |
