/64
(so-called "CIDR notation") means your "prefix length" is 64 bits, i.e. the first 64 bits of your address spaced are fixed. You are free to choose the remaining 64 bits (128 bit IPv6 address length minus 64 bit prefix) as you see fit.Some software will have four separate input fields (4 hexadecimal digits = 32 bits per field), with the
:
separators already prespecified (2xxx:92x7:e:6x9:[ ]:[ ]:[ ]:[ ]
). In that case, you might have to fill all fields (with a0
if nothing else).In other implementations, you just get a single field (
2xxx:92x7:e:6x9:[ ]
). Here you have to enter any required colons yourself — even the second colon of::
if your final address is supposed to look like2xxx:92x7:e:6x9::f00
(::
can be used to replace the longest sequence of zeroes in the address).Click Network. Click Manage. Add :1 or :2. There's your new IPv6 address routed to your VPS.
Best to use :2. :1 is frequently used for gateway.
