subnetting a /64 prefix from a tunnel
Shadow Hawkins on Monday, 29 August 2011 17:11:59
Hello all !
I have been given a prefix on an AICCU tunnel :
Tunnel NameTunnel-IPV6-jaguar
IPv6 Prefix2a01:xxxx:yyyy:1a0::1/64
PoP IPv62a01:xxxx:yyyy:1a0::1
Your IPv62a01:xxxx:yyyy:1a0::2
Is there a way to use a local (LAN) subnet based on this prefix ?
For example on prefix 2a01:xxxx:yyyy:1a0:0001::/80
At first, I shall say it's not possible (the whole /64 is "eaten" by the tunnel itself).
Any idea/advice ?

...ok then, I read through the whole FAQs, and I found out :
(usefull for new SIXXS users anyway).
I have been given a tunnel, but since I did not kept it up for more than a week, my ISK credit is too low to ask for a subnet/prefix.
So the tunnel given is really what it is : a tunnel, not a prefix freely subnettable.
So I guess the right way is :
1)request a tunnel
2)set it up and keep it on for at least one week
3)request a subnet/prefix
4)use this prefix for generating "local networks" subnets
[note : how can I set this thread "closed" ?]

2b) Read the credit FAQ or heck, the signup page which indicates how to get extra credits directly
2c) Be lucky to be on a v4 PoP as then there is a routed /64 per default
