DHCPv6 Server assigns addresses from outside of specified range (Regression from 2.4.4)
0%
Description
The DHCPv6 server appears to be ignoring the specified range when assigning addresses. For example, I set one of my LANs to assign addresses from 2001:470:e1e0:9::100 through 2001:470:e1e0:9::150. Instead, it assigns addresses like 2001:470:e1e0:9::14a or 2001:470:e1e0:9::14f. Static DHCPv6 assignments work as expected. This appears to be a regression from the behavior in 2.4.4 as it was working as expected until I upgraded from a 2.4.4 release to 2.4.5-p1. In order to verify that the client wasn't just ignoring the router, I captured the DHCPv6 packet traffic and confirmed that the router advertised 2001:470:e1e0:9::14a.

NOTE: I tried editing the specified range and re-saving to restart the DHCPv6 server to see if that resolved the issue but I am still seeing addresses assigned outside the specified range.

- Status changed from New to Not a Bug
That's not a bug, it's doing exactly what you asked. IPv6 addresses are hexidecimal, not decimal. 100-150 in hex includes the addresses you mentioned.
