The /56 address is what I have configured as my static address like this

2607:f2c0:f00e:4200::1


 JD>> Prefix 2607:f2c0:f00e:4200::

 KV> I expect that you have been given a IPV6 /56 as that is customary.
 KV> Your lan has a subnet *IPv6 /64:* 2607:f2c0:a000:54::/64


 >> >> *IPv6 recursive DNS: *2607:f2c0::1  and  2607:f2c0::2

These two I have entered as primary and secondary DNS servers

I will do some more testing by rebooting the router to make sure that the IPv6
address does not change, before I change the nodelist segment.  Also the told
me to use DHCP-PD, instead I put in the /64 address.  Pretty sure that is what
got me working, along with static address, etc.  I`ve backed up this
configuration, so I can play a little, and put it back as it was.
