Title is a bit vague, since I do not know what is going on. I want to switch to systemd-networkd, and I want it to autoconfigure both IPv4 and IPv6. I come from ifupdown, with the following config:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug ens3
iface ens3 inet dhcp
# This is an autoconfigured IPv6 interface
iface ens3 inet6 auto
This works:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: ens3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 52:54:00:4f:e8:63 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
altname enp0s3
inet <valid ipv4>/24 brd <valid stuff> scope global dynamic ens3
valid_lft 86031sec preferred_lft 86031sec
inet6 2a01:7c8:****:***:****:ff:fe4f:e863/64 scope global dynamic mngtmpaddr
valid_lft 2591987sec preferred_lft 604787sec
inet6 fe80::5054:ff:fe4f:e863/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
Then I want to switch to systemd-networkd, so I create the following config
[Match]
Name=ens3
[Network]
DHCP=yes
I then purge ifupdown to get it out of the way, enable systemd-networkd and systemd-resolved and reboot. IPv4 works fine, IPv6 is broken:
ip a 130 ↵
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: ens3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 52:54:00:4f:e8:63 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
altname enp0s3
inet <valid ipv4> brd <valid stuff> scope global dynamic ens3
valid_lft 86371sec preferred_lft 86371sec
inet6 fe80::5054:ff:fe4f:e863/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
So there is no global ipv6 address. Looking into the debug logs of systemd-networkd gives:

Ad infinium. What I see is that the prefix 2a01:7c8:d003::/48 looks correct (except /48 instead of 64?), but it is unable to set such an address and just tries forever.
What should I do to get systemd-networkd ipv6 working?
