MAAS fails to add a DHCP snippet with "subnet6 statement is only supported in DHCPv6 mode."

[Mike Matera]

On a fresh install of MAAS on 16.04 MAAS cannot add ANY snippet, even a comment. It always fails with:

 {"value": ["subnet6 statement is only supported in DHCPv6 mode."]}

I have tried from the UI and the command line.

Here's the exception:

Hello!

The problem went away after I DELETED all of my IPv6 networks. I need them going forward!

[Andres Rodriguez (andreserl)]

@Mike,

Also, you need to enable DHCP for a IPv6 subnet in any of the VLANs.

[Tom Boucher (trekkie-b)]

I was able to replicate this. I wanted to add the authoritative; snippet and can't as I get the error message.

I have DHCP enabled for both IPv4 and IPv6 subnet
