How to set up network equipment for customers¶

Selecting IPv6 addresses¶

• Every customer gets a /48 from 2a0a:e5c0:400::/40
  • This way we can easily route it later
• Select / create a /64 for each network of the customer
• Also register a "management IPv6 address" (usually ...:42) that we can use for testing/debugging

Setting up passwords¶

• If we fully maintain the equipment and/or the customer is tech savvy:
  • Generate a fully random 32 character password
• If we or the customer need to enter the password by hand
  • Create a passphrase
  • Lower case only
  • At least 4 words, at least 32 characters
• Hand over password via a secure channel
  • Telling in person
• If we maintain the equipment: save the password in the password store
