I use systemd-networkd as my network manager and DHCPv6 client. I have set up a minimalist configuration file like:
[Match]
Name=eth0
[Network]
DHCP=ipv6
DHCPv6 is active on my router (backend). When I start systemd-networkd the network interface gets assigned an IPv6 address through DHCPv6.
This is the output from journaltctl -b -u systemd-networkd (I masked the first 112 bits of the IPv6 address on purpose):
Jan 07 22:29:26 host01 systemd[1]: Starting Network Service...
Jan 07 22:29:26 host01 systemd-networkd[352]: Enumeration completed
Jan 07 22:29:26 host01 systemd[1]: Started Network Service.
Jan 07 22:29:26 host01 systemd-networkd[352]: eth0: Link UP
Jan 07 22:29:26 host01 systemd-networkd[352]: eth0: Gained carrier
Jan 07 22:29:27 host01 systemd-networkd[352]: eth0: Gained IPv6LL
Jan 07 22:29:28 host01 systemd-networkd[352]: eth0: DHCPv6 address 1234:abcd:1234:abcd:1234:abcd:1234:75c1/128 timeout preferred 3600 valid 7200
I can confirm this through ip -6 a show dev eth0 (I masked the first 112 bits of the IPv6 address on purpose and removed the Link-Local IPv6 address):
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
inet6 1234:abcd:1234:abcd:1234:abcd:1234:75c1/64 scope global dynamic mngtmpaddr noprefixroute
valid_lft 6005sec preferred_lft 1728sec
The network interface works, since I can ping IPv6 address across the Internet.
However I can't find information about the DHCPv6 lease in /run/systemd/netif/leases. When I set up DHCP(v4), a lease-file is created. Not with DHCPv6 however.
Furthermore if I run cat /run/systemd/netif/links/2 with DHCP(v4) I can see the following entry:
DHCP_LEASE=/run/systemd/netif/leases/2
If I use DHCPv6 the entry is missing.
1. Where can I find the lease file associated with DHCPv6?
2. Is it normal that the assigned DHCPv6 address is the same as the IPv6 address I would get when using Router Advertisement (SLAAC) without any DHCP services at all?
3. Why does the log show 128 CIDR, meanwhile the network interface shows 64 CIDR?
Thanks.

Have you checked:
dhclient - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Client
DESCRIPTION
The Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client, dhclient, provides a means for configuring one or more network interfaces using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, BOOTP protocol, or if these protocols fail, by statically assigning an address.
AND
dhclient.leases - DHCP client lease database
DESCRIPTION
The Internet Systems Consortium DHCP client keeps a persistent database of leases that it has acquired that are still valid. The database is a free-form ASCII file containing one valid declaration per lease. If more than one declaration appears for a given lease, the last one in the file is used. The file is written as a log, so this is not an unusual occurrence.
The format of the lease declarations is described in dhclient.conf(5)
1. Where can I find the lease file associated with DHCPv6?
> cat /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient.leases
2. Is it normal that the assigned DHCPv6 address is the same as the IPv6 address I would get when using Router Advertisement (SLAAC) without any DHCP services at all?
> An IPv6 node configures itself with a link-local address (which is derived from its MAC address using the EUI-64 IID method). The router check then check if your address is unique. If it is then it's validated.

3. Why does the log show 128 CIDR, meanwhile the network interface shows 64 CIDR?

Thanks for your answer. I was unaware of the fact that the Link-Local IPv6 Address is checked by the Router (the linked article made it clear to me) and - if not in use - is keept.
Regarding dhclient: I don't use it. I use the inbuild DHCPv6 from systemd-networkd (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd-networkd#[DHCP]).

Systemd-networkd should store the lease info under /run/systemd/netif/leases/
What if you journalctl --all | grep "DHCPv6 lease" or journalctl --all | grep " lease" ?
I don't know much but hope this can help.

For some reason I don't get assigned an DHCPv6 at all. A line like shown above ("Jan 07 22:29:28 host01 systemd-networkd[352]: eth0: DHCPv6 address 1234:abcd:1234:abcd:1234:abcd:1234:75c1/128 timeout preferred 3600 valid 7200") doesn't pop up at all:

Did you enable debug logging for systemd-networkd? As the following should look they would produce output at debug level:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob … cp6.c#L952
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob … cp6.c#L994

Thank you. The relevant output looks like this:

It looks like the DHCPv6 client sends solicitations, which aren't getting answered. Or am I wrong?
