Softlayer API: Global IP Routing not working with ipv6

Question

We are setting up automatic failover for our ipv4/ipv6 global ip's. I can set the route for the ipv4 just fine by executing a get:

https://api.service.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Network_Subnet_IpAddress_Global/xxxx/route/111.111.111.111/

But when I try the ipv6: https://api.service.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Network_Subnet_IpAddress_Global/xxxx/route/2607:f0d0:1e01:1a2::3/

I get this error:

{
   "error": "The selected destination IP address is currently not in tracking for subnet '2607:f0d0:0003:0023:0000:0000:0000:0000/64'.",
   "code": "SoftLayer_Exception_Public"
}

Answer 1

You need to send the EndPointIpAddress without compress (no compressed form), so you should send like this:

https://api.service.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Network_Subnet_IpAddress_Global/xxxx/route/2607:f0d0:1e01:01a2:0000:0000:0000:0003
