Greetings and Happy New Year to All,

I am experiencing a unusual problem. At least for me. I had ip 6 access when I first set up ip 6 on my home network. Recently, I think they changed my subnet and messed it all up or I did after the fact. I don't have ip6 connectivity for my host pve. I have an lxc container and vm that I have given global ip6s' to and they work fine. They ping the router (Verizon G3100) and I can find neighbors. The issue is from the code displayed below, that my pve host shares the mac address of the router or vice a versa. I am not real experienced with Proxmox and I have been exploring it for my work. I downloaded this utility recommended on r/ipV6 subreddit If you don't want to read the postings and running it displayed the text I have included below:


Code:
root@pve:/usr/local/bin/v6disc-master# ./v6disc.sh

Note  the MAC addresses and they match my server.  What gives?

Ip -6 addr show does not display anything out of the ordinary:


Code:
oot@pve:/usr/local/bin/v6disc-master# ip -6 addr show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 state UNKNOWN qlen 1000
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host noprefixroute

Route does not look wrong:

Code:

So I have been searching reddit, google w/o success. Perhaps my queries are not accurately describing the problem. l look forward to some feedback. If you go this far,

TY and Happy New Year.
