The issue here is that the address provided is compressed and we currently do not support that. If you change that to the expanded equivalent the Network Creation will succeed. Expanded Address: fec0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 Compressed Address: fec0::1 I will keep this open as an RFE though. Fixed with:

machines: decompress ipv6 addresses before validating them
Verified with package:
cockpit-machines-211-1.el8.noarch
libvirt-dbus-1.2.0-3.module+el8.1.0+4066+0f1aadab.x86_64
Steps:
1. Open the network creation dialog
2. Set the network with the configuration below:
name: random string
Forward Mode:NAT
Device:Automatic
IP Configuration: IPv6 only
IPv6 Network: FEC0::1
Prefix Length: 64
Set DHCP Range
Start: FEC0::1
End: FEC0::10
Then, click the 'Create' Button
3. Click Activate
The network can be create and activate successfully.

Description of problem: When creating IPv6 network, there will be an error which is 'Address not within subnet' if I set the configuration below. IP Configuration: IPv6 only IPv6 Network: FEC0::1 Prefix Length: 48 Set DHCP Range Start: FEC0::1 End: FEC0::10 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cockpit-machines-208-1.el8.noarch libvirt-dbus-1.2.0-3.module+el8.1.0+4066+0f1aadab.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the network creation dialog 2. Set the network with the configuration below: name: random string IP Configuration: IPv6 only IPv6 Network: FEC0::1 Prefix Length: 48 Set DHCP Range Start: FEC0::1 End: FEC0::10 Then, click the 'Create' Button Actual results: 1. There will be an error shown beside the 'End' field. The error is 'Address not within subnet'. Expected results: 1. The creation of IPv6 network can be created correctly. Additional info:
