Adding IPv6 private address range to the Home Networks

[Diggy]

We are using private IPv6 addresses along with IPv4 addresses on our local network.  I noticed that the IPv6 range "fc00::0/7" is not included in the default Home Networks list.  Why?  Does "Home Networks" not apply to IPv6?  Are there any special considerations when adding "fc00::0/7" to the Home Networks list?

In advance, thanks for guidance on this matter.

Link local IPv6s fe80::/64 don't need blocking, since they won't be routed anyway.


However, I did add my static /48 prefix I got from my ISP to my "local Network" alias, so that traffic to other VLANs is blocked.

fc00::/7 is ULA, not link local.

[JamesFrisch]

True. But I assume that the clients only get link lokal from RA?

[Patrick M. Hausen]

The OP stated that they are using ULA and asked if they should add that address range to the "Home Networks" list. I don't understand why you mention link local at all?

[JamesFrisch]

my bad, I just assumed OP is only using RA

Maybe they are using RA to distribute ULA ...
