 By default you are assigned a Routed /64 prefix.  If you only have one local network, that is enough.  On the other hand if you have multiple local networks and you desire a /64 for IPv6 Autoconfig for each network, you will want to enable a Routed /48 prefix (if available).  A Routed /48 prefix will allow you to define up to 65,536 local /64 networks.

+Define your local IPv6 address for the interface in the **IPv6/nn:** field.  Either use your given Routed /64 prefix followed by a "1" address, or define your own /64 address from your Routed /48 prefix.  In either case, your address should be of the form:
