unable to ping remote ipv6 with calico CNI for k8s


Below is the manifest file i used to enable calico CNI for k8s, pods are able to communicate over ipv4 but i am unable to reach outside using ipv6, k8s version v1.14 and calico version v3.11, am i missing some settings,

forwarding is enabled on host with "sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1"

also i saw that all calico interfaces on host got same ipv6 fe80::ecee:eeff:feee:eeee/64 which is default ipv6 gateway for all pods

also observed when enabled vxlan it was not adding routes vxlan.calico Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 66:6a:cb:79:4e:d7 inet addr:192.168.191.64 Bcast:192.168.191.64 Mask:255.255.255.255 inet6 addr: fe80::646a:cbff:fe79:4ed7/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1410 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:125 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default _gateway 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 10.243.0.0 * 255.255.224.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.192.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.191.70 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 cali1c1c9f58b42 192.168.191.71 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 cali2fc31b4251c 192.168.191.72 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 cali5be518cf856 192.168.191.73 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 cali5e3a68f7b5f 192.168.191.74 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 cali59474b079db
