Subj : Devil's Advocate To : Joe Delahaye From : Kees van Eeten Date : Wed Nov 26 2014 15:44:14 Hello Joe! 24 Nov 14 18:41, you wrote to Michiel van der Vlist: JD> BTW, it is a static v6 address JD> They gave me a /64 address, as well as a /56 address, not to mention a JD> recusive DNS address, etc. I'm even more confused The router gives JD> me the /56 address under LAN, and the /64 also under LAN but as a Link JD> Local Address/ I also have a WAN address shown. I assume that might be JD> what you guys need? I think some explanation is still missing. If I compare this with my own IPv6 connection, it is about as follows. It looks like spoiling a lot of address space, but that is a problem ffor the future. Your/my provider gives you a /56 address space. In that address space /64 size subnets are expected/defined. Subnet 0 is used in the space between you and your provider, so essentially only two addresses are used. Subnet 1 is assigned to the LAN side of your router. The router takes one address, the remander is for the devices on the LAN. Subnet 2 may be used as your guest net. The remainder in the set between /56 and /64 is not used. I have tried to define a Subnet 3 behind another router connected to the LAN, but I have not yet succeeded in telling the first router what the route to that net is. Soho routers are apparently not meant to be used in a real world setup. The can do the job, but the Gui does not support such a configuration.
