routed subnets
Shadow Hawkins on Monday, 05 March 2012 15:54:12
Hi, I have three tunnels and one subnet from Sixxs.
Recently, some subnets have appeared in my overview, they are called routed subnets and belong to each IP, ending with /64. I have three of them. Their status is user disabled.
My question is: should I switch from the "normal" subnet to the routed subnet? How do I activate then the routed subnet? Have I then to rennounce to the "normal" subnet and lose ISKs by having it deleted? If I don't do this, will the routed subnets be deleted? Will I lose ISKs if the routed subnets get deleted?
This issue is not pressing, so I don't want to bother the Sixxs operators with a problem report.

No, you don't have to.
The routed subnets are there primarily to solve the problem for people who have CPE type devices like Fritz!Box and OpenWRT etc who before wold have to wait a week before requesting a subnet so they could actually use it. These are there per default thus everbody can enjoy them.
How do I activate then the routed subnet
By selecting the subnet icon on the webinterface and there enabling it.
They are per default disabled for existing tunnels as otherwise a couple of the TIC clients enabled in CPEs that are out there get confused. For new tunnels they are enabled per default though.
Have I then to rennounce to the "normal" subnet and lose ISKs by having it deleted?
You can just keep on using the existing subnet. We rarely finally remove prefixes from accounts unless the PoP runs out of them, a that point in time we sweep them all up and clean them up.
If I don't do this, will the routed subnets be deleted? Will I lose ISKs if the routed subnets get deleted?
The "default routed subnets" are there per default and cannot be removed unless the tunnel itself is removed.
