I know I can get a /60 subnet assigned by Comcast (http://forums.comcast.com/t5/Home-N...efix-size-and-home-routing/m-p/1794168#M56538 shows the settings for dhcp6c.conf

What I'm wondering is if/how I can assign different subnets to different interfaces? For example, I would like to assign one subnet to the guest wireless (wl0.2 and wl1.2) and another for my private LAN.

I know all these interfaces are bridged into br0, so would I have to unbridge them and create 2 separate bridges and add manual routes? Or is it something as simple as just bridging wl0.2 and wl1.2 into br1 and changing dhcp6c.conf from:
Code:
interface eth0 {
script "/tmp/dhcp6c";
send rapid-commit;
send ia-na 37464;
send ia-pd 37464;
};
id-assoc na 37464 { };
id-assoc pd 37464 {
prefix-interface br0 {
sla-id 1;
sla-len 0;
};
};
to
Code:
interface eth0 {
script "/tmp/dhcp6c";
send rapid-commit;
send ia-na 37464;
send ia-pd 37464;
};
id-assoc na 37464 { };
id-assoc pd 37464 {

[B]prefix ::/60 infinity;[/B]
prefix-interface br0 {
sla-id 1;
[B]sla-len 4;[/B]
};
prefix-interface br1 {
[B]sla-id 2;[/B]
[B]sla-len 4;[/B]
};
};
 
Can I ask first if you are even successfully pulling a /60
with:

Code:
prefix ::/60 infinity;
prefix-interface br0 {
sla-id 1;
sla-len 4;
};

and Asus\Merlin firmware?

I'm actually not sure... I made the changes, killed dhcp6c and started it with dhcp6c -T LL -c /etc/dhcp6c.conf eth0

However the IPv6 page on the router still shows the same /64. Does restarting the daemon force it to request a new assignment?
 
You would think so...but in my limited experience, it does not seem too.
A reboot always seems to be necessary for it yank another ip6 addr\prefix from Comcast after one is released, or so has been the case with my AC68 & SB6141. :(

I only asked cause while I didn't spend much time on it I wasn't successful in pulling a /60 from them yet, granted though I've not tried the whole release a /64 then...wait over night routine before trying a /60 as suggested in some other forums. I gave up quick cause from what I can tell asus's support throughout the rest of the system for < /64 prefix seems ..umm... less than fully flushed out yet. :D
