I wanted to make sure I had the settings correct for configuring DHCPv6 on my WAN interface for Starlink. I can confirm that I did get an allocation of IPv6 addressing with a /56 prefix and was successfully able to get an IPv6 address assigned to my internal interface.
The issue is, it appears I have not gotten an actual perm or temp address on my WAN interface, although I did get a Prefix delegation? I did accept the RA on the external side, but no actual route was placed into the routing table yet.
Would this be an issue on ISP side? or my side? I believe it to be on the ISP side, but I could be wrong.

I figured it out. WAN interface will not get its own IPv6 address...just had to put the link local default route in and then everything started working. SLAAC was working with internal clients as well.

Thanks for the solution, this was the last piece of the puzzle to get IPv6 working 👏
Got the link local IPv6 IP from the WAN interface with command "show interface all" and made this static route:

So does this mean I will never see an ipv6 on the WAN interface when it faces starlink?
I'm asking because I am trying to set up globalprotect behind starlink via ipv6, and it appears I cannot due to no ipv6 assigned to this interface.

@Mike_Hutchinson For Globalprotect you can use the interface you've selected for prefix delegation. In my case this interface has a valid ipv6 address. (CLI: show interface all)

yeah, I ended up not using the IPv6 addresses as literally nobody uses it outside of some corporations and mobile devices...etc...... In order to actually get to that IPv6 address, the source users would have to have it also implemented and used.
