This is pretty universal to any system that has iproute2 installed.
A note on IPv6 allocation
You might occasionally run into a host who does not want to assign you your own /64. While for one reason or another they may want to only route a /120 or /112 to you, they should assign the entire /64. A /56 is preferable.
Simply put, there is no way the rest of the world is going to do reputation management on anything smaller than a /64. It simply is not possible to do - the world does not have the memory or disk space, and never will. /64 is the assumption, and it makes the programming side of this sort of thing significantly easier.
As a host, assigning a /56 to each customer at a given site may seem excessive, but the benefits are immense. A given customer is going to be much less able to damage the reputation of other customers, and if you read my Ipv6 IPTables script, you'll see that I treat everyone on a /56 as "possibly the same person". This is because it is 1) Quite possibly true and 2) even if it isn't, I cannot afford to assume otherwise. Neither can most of the Internet.
As an end-user, you will probably have some questions as to what to do even with a /64. There is a great deal of advice on the net regarding this, here is what I am doing:
I make sure that every assignment within a /64 is unique - that is, if I merge every single site and every single machine into one, the only parts of any IP that will ever need to change is the /64 prefix.
To facilitate this, everything within the same group has the same prefix within the /64. My mailing infrastructure has the 3:: prefix, my largest website (with a few supporting sites) has 4::, and I've given 62:: for a catch-all.
So all of my mailservers and mxes look like
- 2001:db8:4032:1111:3::3
- 2001:db8:9315:1111:3::4
- 2001:db8:3a20:1111:3::5
And while my largest website doesn't support IPv6 itself, the mumble chat does, and the info site I'm building does, so they look like
- 2001:db8:4032:1111:4::4
- 2001:db8:9315:1111:4::7
I currently reserve f... prefixes for stuff that is independent of this scheme, such as outbound dns ports for Unbound.
- 2001:db8:9315:1111:f0c0::2
- 2001:db8:9315:1111:f0c0::3
- 2001:db8:9315:1111:f0c0::4
- 2001:db8:9315:1111:f0c0::5
Anyone who has the slightest hope of ever getting this scheme to conflict is going to be able to get /48s or /32s to expand the subnet range they are using instead.
Obviously, this is just a suggestion. It is what I do and I currently like it.
