Cannot acquire IPv6 address for EM7455 module?

IPv6 is enabled on my networking stack and it works well for other networking interfaces on my device (Ethernet and WiFi).
IPv6 does not work with EM7455. I have checked with the operator, the SIM/Account is IPv6 supported/enabled.

I have enabled IPv6 in Linux and executed AT!CUSTOM=“IPV6ENABLE”,1 as well.

The cellular interface is showing Link local address, It never acquires “Scope:Global” IPv6 address.

What is the right procedure to enable IPv6 and use IPv6 address on EM7455 under Linux?

Hi @akn

Could you please share with me the log file with some commands as below?

AT!CUSTOM?
AT!IMPREF?
AT!GSTATUS?
AT+CGDCONT?
AT!SCACT?
AT+CGPADDR
AT+CGCONTRDP

It seems that the problem was due to selection of the wrong context ID. with context ID=3 it is able to acquire the IPv6 address. I am still facing problem on ping6 to any IPv6 address.
