How to create an IPv6 subnet
Reviewed on 07 February 2024 • Published on 03 August 2021
You can split your IPv6 prefix into several subnets and use them on your Dedibox servers both in Paris and Amsterdam. Each subnet has its own DUID and can be configured individually.
Note
- You can create as many /56 subnets as you have servers.
- You can create as many /64 subnets as you have failover IPs.
-
Click Server > Network configuration in the Dedibox console. The network configuration pages displays. Scroll down to the IPv6 network configuration section.
-
Click the settings icon (cogwheel) next to your /48
prefix. Then click Create subnet.
-
Select the subnet you want to create from the drop-down list. Then click Create subnet
The subnet is created and visible in the list of your IPv6 subnets along with its DUID.
NoteTo create /64
networks for virtual machines, repeat the steps above by clicking on the “cogweel” icon next to the /56
subnet.
