Hi,

My bad... I finally read more man pages about ip6, route, trying to understand their network topology...

New config for ovh ipv6 with a prefixlen 64.

Example /etc/hosname.if :

inet6 2607:5300:60:62ac:: 64
!route add -inet6 -net 2607:5300:60:62ff::/64 -cloning -link -iface ix0
!route add -inet6 default 2607:5300:60:62ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

I ran with it from 2 days and test with a reboot today. All is up and works good.

Dealing with a /56 config is a bad workaround as you will not be able to reach other /64 subnets in the /56.

The NDP works fine now.

If this can help other people using ovh dedicated hosts,

Cheers,

Confirmed. Works good for me as well. Thank you for this great
hint.
