I am trying to configure hdcp for IPv6 I am getting the following error:
dhcpd: /etc/dhcp/dhcpd6.conf line 59: New subnet mask too short.
dhcpd: subnet6 2001:4d48:ad51:2f00::5:1/112
Part of the configuration for that interface is:
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:50:64:01:0B
inet addr:192.188.145.254 Bcast:192.188.145.255 Mask:255.255.255.128
inet6 addr: fe80::2e0:50ff:fe64:10b/64 Scope:Link
inet6 addr: 2001:4d48:ad51:2f00::5:1/112 Scope:Global
Why is the mask too short, is there a minimum width ?
Here is what it is complaining about:
subnet6 2001:4d48:ad51:2f00::5:1/112 {
# Two addresses available to clients
# (the third client should get NoAddrsAvail)
range6 2001:4d48:ad51:2f00::5:8000 2001:4d48:ad51:2f00::5:c000;
# Global definitions for name server address(es) and domain search list
option dhcp6.name-servers 2001:4d48:ad51:2f00::5:1;
}
