On my server in dhcpd6.conf the prefix length is 64:
subnet6 2001:ed8:77b5::/64 {
range6 2001:ed8:77b5:0:10:123:105:150
2001:ed8:77b5:0:10:123:105:155;
}
On my client, I am getting an address with a prefix length of 128:
inet6 addr: 2001:ed8:77b5:0:10:123:105:155/128 Scope:Global
Is this the expected behavior?
Yes this is expected.
A DHCPv6 lease is not tied to any specific prefix.
The kernel will use the longest matching prefix as the out-going route.
