Setup IPv6 provided by ARIN
-
I have received a /36 block of IPv6 which I would like to setup in pfSense. When I try to put '2603:FF43::1' under Static IPv6 Configuration for IPv6 Address, it asks for a valid format and does not accept it. Could someone please help me setup the /36 in pfSense?
-
Why on Earth would you be putting an entire /36 on one pfSense node?
If you really want to do it, try lower-casing all the hex digits in the IPv6 address. I think there is an input validation issue there in certain places.
-
How did you manage to get a /36? That's an ISP size block. Did you mean /56? Many ISPs hand out those.

/36 is a x-small from arin.. Its only a $500 year fee for such small ipv6 network.
I don't show that block assigned to anyone, its still listed as arin. So I don't that is the correct IP block.. Unless they are trying to use public IPv6 space that is not theirs?
But I am with Derelict - why would you you be trying to put a specific /36 address on anything?? Other than say a route entry?? Or maybe a summary firewall rule?

Small??? A /36 can be split into over a million /56s. That would make for a decent sized ISP.

From arin that is a 2x-small ;) I had typo before

In IPv6 that's small.

5X-Large /4 or larger??? That would be half or the entire IPv6 GUA range, as currently allocated. Every address currently available is within a /3, with 1/8 of all IPv6 addresses allocated to GUAs. Over 3/4s has yet to be allocated to anything. -
You do understand that the current /3 for Global address space is a bit a mere fraction of the total space right??

Yep, that why I said "Every address currently available is within a /3, with 1/8 of all IPv6 addresses allocated to GUAs".Of the entire 2^128 IPv6 addresses, only 2^125 are used for GUAs.
Since /3 represents all currently available GUAs, a /4 would be half of them.
