Configuring IPv6 Address and Prefix Address Range Split

To configure the IPv6 address and prefix address range split, use the following sample configuration:

config 
   ipam
      instance gr_instance_id 
         address-pool pool_name 
            ipv6 
               address-ranges 
                  split-size per-cache number_of_addresses 
                  split-size per-dp number_of_addresses 
                  exit 
               prefix-ranges 
                  split-size per-cache number_of_addresses 
                  split-size per-dp number_of_addresses 
                  commit 

NOTES:

  • address-pool pool_name : Specify the name of the address pool. pool_name must be a string.

  • ipv6 : Enter the IPv6 mode of the pool.

  • address-ranges : Enter the IPv6 address-ranges sub-mode.

  • split-size per-cache number_of_addresses : Specify the number of IPv4 addresses per chunk for IPAM cache allocation. Specify in the power of 2. The IPAM server consumes this configuration.

    number_of_addresses must be an integer in the range of 2-262144.

  • split-size-per-dp number_of_addresses : Specify the number of IPv4 addresses per chunk for data plane allocation. Specify in the power of 2. The IPAM cache consumes this configuration.

    number_of_addresses must be an integer in the range of 2-262144.

  • prefix-ranges : Enter the IPv6 prefix ranges sub-mode.

The following is an example configuration.

config
   ipam  
      instance 1 
         address-pool p1
                  ipv6
                     address-ranges
                        split-size per-cache 4096
                        split-size per-dp 1024
                        exit
                     prefix-ranges
                        split-size per-cache 8192
                        split-size per-dp 2048
                        end
