Hello

You have specified the pool as an address range beginning at 
fd00:1:dead:beef::15 and ending at fd00:1:dead:beef::ffff.  Which only 
includes 65520 addresses to begin with. You use any of the following 
alternatives:

1. increase the pool end address
2. specify it as address/length:  fd00:1:dead:beef::/64
3. Add additional pools

You could specify it as fd00:1:dead::beef::15/64
