h1. Commonly used IPv6 networks h2. By ungleich Assuming that you have a /48 per location/site, there are some specific /64 sub networks that we usually use at ungleich. As an example let's take **2001:db8:a::/48**, then the we often use these networks: h3. Typical IPv6 plan from ungleich * Assuming 2001:db8:a::/48 as a base network | Network | Description | | 2001:db8:a::/64 | The network 0 is usually internal | | | For netboot, untrusted equipment, IPMI and co. Usually firewall for no incoming traffic at all | | 2001:db8:a:1::/64 | Servers, sensible equipment: stuff we trust ssh is safe | | | For accessing servers, usually only port 22 (ssh) or an alternative SSH port (222,2202,2222) open | | 2001:db8:a:8::/64 | Transfer network | | | For routing, might contain /124 or smaller sub networks for "point to point" | | 2001:db8:a:a::/64 | DNS network: houses DNS servers in the network. | | | Regular DNS servers are usually 2001:db8:a:a::a and 2001:db8:a:a::b | | | DNS64 enabled servers are usually 2001:db8:a:a::64 and 2001:db8:a:a::65 | | 2001:db8:a:bee::/64 | LAN network: usually wifi/coworking | | | "bee" is something people can easily pronounce; ssh open from outside | | 2001:db8:a:cafe::/64 | LAN network: usually wired/regular clients | | 2001:db8:a:d::/64 | Downstream network: routing to physically present downstreams | | 2001:db8:a:d::/80 | Static IP addresses OUR side | | 2001:db8:a:d:1::/80 | Static IP addresses DOWNSTREAM | | 2001:db8:a:7ea::/64 | LAN network: Usually 2nd wifi network | | 2001:db8:a:b00::/96 | Incoming NAT64 prefix: mapping IPv4 islands: 2001:db8:a:b00::192.168.1.1 is IPv6 reachable | | 2001:db8:a:c00::/96 | 2nd Incoming NAT64 prefix: use this if one of them is stateful, the other one is stateless | | 2001:db8:a:c001::/96 | Outgoing NAT64 prefix: mapping the IPv4 Internet, allowing IPv6 only hosts to reach the IPv4 Internet | | 2001:db8:a:x::10::/79 | Kubernets cluster 1 #1 | | 2001:db8:a:x::10::/108 | Kubernets pod sub network 1 #1 | | 2001:db8:a:x::11::/108 | Kubernets service sub network 1 #1 | | 2001:db8:a:x::12::/79 | Kubernets cluster 2 #2 | | 2001:db8:a:x::12::/108 | Kubernets pod sub network 2 #2 | | 2001:db8:a:x::13::/108 | Kubernets service sub network 2 #2 | | 2001:db8:a:x::14::/79 | Kubernets cluster 3 #3 | | 2001:db8:a:x::14::/108 | Kubernets pod sub network 3 #3 | | 2001:db8:a:x::15::/108 | Kubernets service sub network 3 #4 | h3. IPv6 address guidelines * /124s are nice to read as they cut off the last byte * When using a /96 to access from or to the IPv4 Internet, reserve the whole /64 * When sub dividing a /64 on a VM/server, use /80's (nibble boundaries) * */64: When in doubt, take a /64* * /48's work great per location or customer ** No need to use a bigger network, even if you have space * VPN concentrators / routers usually need /40 or /32 to redistribute /48's h2.
