General • IPv6 Setup Weirdness

Okay, I have a bunch of questions and every time I think I have figured something out, something else is weird.

I am setting up IPv6 on my network, since I recently discovered that Spectrum offers this where I am. I have read a BUNCH of forum posts. I am putting the work in to try and understand what I am doing and what should be happening.

I basically followed this guide and I stopped.

1. The weird thing is I am getting a random Dynamic Global address on only one of my VLANs and I have no idea why. I get link-local addresses on each of my interfaces. And a single DG address on a VLAN.

Other questions I have, every post I have seen says to setup the IPv6 client like 2. Am I just not supposed to get an address an IPv6 address on ether1? Because I don't unless I request it.

Also, as I understand it, I should get a default route from my ISP using the RA. I do not. I have to check in order for that to generate.

3. Is there something else I should be doing? I have ZERO firewall rules so far cause I'm just trying to get it to work.

ipv6 config included.
