IPv6 Addresses

IPv6 Addresses

IPv6 is supported on EVPN L2 deployments and L3 deployments. Full feature parity for IPv6 across vendors is not available. Refer to the Feature Matrix for details.

To use IPv6 addressing, you must enable IPv6 in the blueprint (Staged > Policies > Fabric Addressing Policy).

You'll create IP pools in the Resources section, then when you're building your blueprint you'll assign those pools. The resources from the pool will automatically be pulled, as needed.

If you need to assign a specific Loopback IP address or Link IP address, you can assign it manually.

IPv6 Pool Details

IPv6 pools include the following details:

Pool Name A unique name to identify the resource pool
Total Usage Percentage of IPv6 addresses in use for all subnets in the resource pool. (Hover over the status bar to see the number of IPv6 addresses in use and the total number of IPv6 addresses in the pool.)
Per Subnet Usage The IPv6 addresses included in the subnet and the percentage that are in use. (Hover over the status bar to see the number of IPv6 addresses in use and the total number of IPv6 addresses in that subnet.)
Status Indicates if the pool is in use

IPv6 Pools Using the GUI

From the left navigation menu, navigate to Resources > IPv6 Pools to go to the IPv4 Pools page where you can create (clone), edit and delete IPv6 pools. The pool fc01:a05:fab::/48 is predefined.

Create IPv6 Pool

To create IPv6 pools using the GUI
  1. From the left navigation menu, navigate to Resources > IPv6 Pools and click Create IPv6 Pool (or to copy an existing pool and customize it, click the Clone button in the Actions panel for the pool to copy).
    The Create IPv6 Pool dialog opens (or the Clone IPv6 Pool dialog opens).
  2. Enter a unique name and valid subnet. To add another subnet, click Add a Subnet and enter the subnet.
  3. Click Create.
The pool is created and you're returned to the table view.

Update IPv6 Pool

You can add, change and delete subnets in IPv6 pools, but if an IPv6 address in a subnet is in use, you can't remove the subnet.

To update an IPv6 pool using the GUI:

  1. From the left navigation menu, navigate to Resources > IPv6 Pools and click the Edit button in the Actions panel for the pool to update.
    The Edit IPv6 Pool dialog opens.
  2. Add, change and/or delete subnets, as required.
  3. Click Update.
The pool is updated and you're returned to the table view.

Delete IPv6 Pool

You can delete IP pools as long as none of the IP addresses within the pool are in use.
  1. From the left navigation menu, navigate to Resources > IPv6 Pools and click the Delete button in the Actions panel for the pool to delete.
    The Delete this resource? dialog opens.
  2. Click Delete.
The pool is deleted and you're returned to the table view.
