Apple Airport Setup for IPv6

Hi,
Yesterday I needed to replace my Juniper SRX (broken) by an Apple Airport Express.
I have configured the airport according the WIKI, is does not come up.

IPv6 FW:

What's wrong?

That is definitely wrong, IPv6 addresses ending in "::" are typically the 'lowest' address in a prefix, and in your case this is supposed to be in a /64, and thus it will be. The lowest address in a prefix is called the subnet anycast address and that is one that is every routing node in a prefix.
Configure this to something like 2001:610:7bf:1::1 to make it work, note that you could also use the lowest /64 and thus use 2001:610:7bf::1.
