CGA4332 Static IPv6
All,
I'm adding yet another thread on this topic, trying to get official guidance from Comcast Business regarding supported configurations.
I have static v4 and v6 addresses, I have my network router set to use PD to get a /59 prefix from the Comcast supplied CGA4332 modem. My prefix changes whenever the Comcast modem reboots for maintenance and/or some combination of my prefix lease expiring. My network router (Unifi UDM Pro) doesn't allow me to specify a network prefix hint to supply, nor am I able to specify a PD ID in the Unifi Network interface. Like many others, if I specify a static address on my network's router, I'm able to send data outbound, but the Comcast modem doesn't have a route in its routing table for incoming traffic.
In the Comcast modem interface, I am able to specify static routes for IPv4 targets, but not for IPv6. It seems like a pretty obvious solution to allow specifying static v6 routes on the modem so users don't have to keep going through this annoyance. As long as my route fits inside my delegated prefix, the route wouldn't even need to be forwarded on to Comcast, it would simply happen at my local modem.
What solution is being worked on for those of us paying for static IPv6 addresses and not actually receiving static addressing? It seems like a pretty obvious issue in the design to allow us to pay for something that we can't possibly use.

thetommyc, thank you for reaching out today. Just to clarify, you want to set specific routes for IPv6 however this is currently not an option you are seeing available on your end, correct?

I'd like to know this as well. I don't understand the lack of feature parity between IPv4 and IPv6 on their CPE.
Honestly, skipping the whole DHCP-PD setup and just specifying next hop for subnets inside the static /56 (even if the webui only allowed /64s or something) would be so much easier.
