Hi USG-philes and Zyxel-lads...., can't configure Ubuntu18 Desktop IPV6 DHCP6 DUID longer than 41 characters into USG60/40 at firmware V4.32( 2018) .

Using STATEFUL DHCP with DHCP renovations to service DNS..... 



 -------> Configuration / Objects / DHCP6 / Lease / Add / Add Corresponding / Lease Type / Prefix Delegation / DUID .

In the example below the dhcp6.client-id is  an expanded string of
x'00:ee:39:51:46:22:74:01:21:19:f1:ad:ac:f2:ac:0d:02:26'



Refer Ubuntu18 Desktop example....:
 /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient6-7??????f-4ba0-3b3d-????-33020?????33-enp3s0f0.lease
default-duid "\000\xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\231&"; lease6 { interface "enp3s0f0"; ia-na a3:07:09:41 { starts 1533638143; renew 4294967295; rebind 4294967295; iaaddr 2001:xxx:xxx:xxxx::99:8 { starts 1533638143; preferred-life 4294967295; max-life 4294967295; } } option dhcp6.client-id <b>0:ee:39:51:46:22:74:1:21:19:f1:ad:ac:f2:ac:d:2:26</b>; option dhcp6.server-id 0:4:0:6:70:99:96:21:7ee:ac; } lease6 {….. ……. ….. }

There is a limit of 41 characters in the above field.

Yes can workaround this , however this limitation is possible coding laziness at the s/w end in
