General Discussion / How to configure IPv6
« on: October 11, 2020, 02:38:14 pm »
Hello,
My ISP providing all static IP’s (IPv4 & IPv6). I’m fine with IPv4. But struggling with IPv6.
ISP provided /126 IP addresses for the WAN IP and gateway.
WAN IP’s configured & working fine.
But I’m not sure how should I go with IPv6 with LAN.
They provided /48 prefix.
As example they provided 2101:bf40:5001:: /48
I prefer to use DHCPv6 since I can find which IP’s assigned and if require I can assign IP addresses.
Prefer to have a subnet for virtual LAB machines
At the moment assigned 2101:bf40:5001:: /48 to the LAN interface and assigned 64 subnet to for DHCPv6 range. But I’m not sure this is the correct way.
I assigned 2101:bf40:5001::1 /48 that worked as well.
What IP addresses should I configure for LAN interface?
If I’m planing to subnet /56 what IP should assign to LAN interface?
Could I use another subnet for VPN?
