Subnet an IPv6 Network

Implement a subnetted IPv6 addressing scheme.

Subnet Using the Subnet ID

IPv6 was designed with subnetting in mind.

  • A separate subnet ID field in the IPv6 GUA is used to create subnets.
  • The subnet ID field is the area between the Global Routing Prefix and the interface ID.

IPv6 Subnetting Example

Given the 2001:db8:acad::/48 global routing prefix with a 16 bit subnet ID.

  • Allows 65,536 /64 subnets
  • The global routing prefix is the same for all subnets.
  • Only the subnet ID hextet is incremented in hexadecimal for each subnet.

 

IPv6 Subnet Allocation

  • The example topology requires five subnets, one for each LAN as well as for the serial link between R1 and R2.

  • The five IPv6 subnets were allocated, with the subnet ID field 0001 through 0005. Each /64 subnet will provide more addresses than will ever be needed.

Router Configured with IPv6 Subnets

  • The example shows that each of the router interfaces on R1 has been configured to be on a different IPv6 subnet.
