I've got the wan interface on the router to obtain a v6 address by enabling dhcpv6. It gets a 2600:xxxx:xxxx:x:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx/128 address. Billions and Billions of v6 addresses and they're giving me only one?
How many do you need for the WAN interface? ;-) Actually, a /128 is just an interface address.
But I can't get any v6 action on the lan interfaces. Could this be because I've got only one addy on the wan side? Do I need to set up nat-v6? :-)
I don't know how Cox hands out IPv6 prefixes, but a common method is DHCPv6-PD. You have to see if that router supports it or whatever Cox is using. And no, there's no reason to use NAT. NAT is a hack to get around the IPv4 address shortage. It also breaks some things. You should have at least a /64 prefix. Some ISPs are providing a /56 or /48, which have 256 or 65536 /64s. Each /64 has 18.4 billion, billion addresses. Cox has a support forum. There's likely someone there in a better position to help.
