Adding a New IPv6 Pool

1. Go to Infrastructure > IP Addresses.
2. On the IP Pools tab, click Add New IPv6 Pool.

3. Specify the following IP pool parameters:

   • Name: the name of the IPv6 pool.
   • Prefix Address: the generic part of the IPv6 addresses generated within the IP pool.
   • Prefix Size: The size (in bits) of the IPv6 address prefix. The prefix size value determines the number of IP addresses within the IP6 pool. By specifying the maximum size value (128 bytes), you constitute an IPv6 pool consisting of one IPv6 address. The minimum size value is 8 bytes.
   • Subnet Prefix Size: the size (in bits) of network Ethernet segment for the servers that will receive IPv6 addresses from this IP pool. The subnet prefix size is needed for configuring IPv6 address in the servers OS. The value must be between 8 and 128.
   • Gateway: the default gateway of the IPv6 pool.
   • Primary/Secondary Nameserver: the name servers' addresses for the IP pool.

4. Specify the Purpose parameters, which define the purpose of the IP pool:

   Note: If a purpose is specified for an IP pool, this IP pool can be used only for this purpose. If you do not select a purpose, the IP pool will not be usable.

   • Branding configuration: the IP pool will be used for branding configuration.

   • Infrastructure configuration: the IP pool will be used for:

     • Shared IP address allocation to Apache and ProFTPD servers.
     • Exclusive IP address allocation to provide communication between the management node and any kind of CloudBlue Commerce Agent.
   • Dedicated hosting: the IP pool will be used for exclusive IP address allocation to VPSes.

   • Shared Hosting: the IP pool will be used for exclusive IP address allocation to Apache and ProFTPD servers.

     Note: WebHosting Linux web clusters need the Share Hosting option to be enabled.

5. Click Submit. The newly created IP pool will immediately be added to the IP pools list.
