The way it's designed is this: When you enter the full IPv6 IP in the
GUI you don't need to specify a prefix.

Yes, the downside is that all used IPv6 IPs on a 5209R or 5210R must be
assigned individually. So you can't assign a whole IPv6 IP address range
by providing a broader mask like you'd do on any other server.

This has to do with the way how the Sausalito backend handles IP address
assignments and the "assign single IPv4 IPs"-method was carried over for
IPv6 as well to keep the management mechanisms more or less the same.
