Cannot add ipv6 /70 route
Closed, InvalidPublicBUG

Description

Its not possible to add a ipv6 70 route

vyos@gw# set protocols static route6 2a01:4f9:2a:de4:4::/70 next-hop XX interface eth1

2a01:4f9:2a:de4:4::/70 is an IPv6 host address, not a network address. Did you mean 2a01:4f9:2a:de4::/70?

Value validation failed
Set failed

I used a /70 because i only get a /64 net which i have to split into smaller nets.
It works fine adding the route with the linux route command.

@Viacheslav --verbose is not the issue, it's only used to output the actual "error".

Using --verbose or not still yields the same exit code -> "1" which is "fail"

The specified prefix range is:

Start Range: 2a01:4f9:2a:de4:0:0:0:0
  End Range: 2a01:4f9:2a:de4:3ff:ffff:ffff:ffff

Thus 2a01:4f9:2a:de4:4::/70 is a host address which is correctly identified and invalid to the CLI as only prefixes should be routed. @danielpo what you really want is set protocols static route6 2a01:4f9:2a:de4::/70 next-hop XX interface eth1

c-po set Is it a breaking change? to Unspecified (possibly destroys the router).
