Hi All,
 
We have some great news – we have finished our platform upgrades and can now provide you with static IPv6 addresses!
 
At the moment we are still working on our automation platform that will allow you to request this on the “My Snap” page – however we are able to manually provision these for you for this to happen please email your request for a static IPv6 to support@snap.net.nz
 
FAQ’s on static Addresses
 
1.      The allocation size is a /56
2.      IPv6 support is via our email helpdesk – support@snap.net.nz
3.      Your static allocations may change if you move house
 
Any questions please post here!


Cheers,

Ralph

Oops, sorry!  I got my post wrong.  Replace /64 with /48.  The recommended IPv6 assignment to a site was a /48, but that seems to have been changed.  See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6177.

Evrybody using /48 prefixes means it is easy to change ISPs and just delegate a new prefix.  Changing the netmask size causes problems.  I currently have a /48 from tunnelbroker.net, and changing to a /56 will mean changing all the suffixes I am currently using as they were done from the old recommendations and have the top byte of the suffix as the subnet number.  I will also have to change all my DNS server data to match as well, instead of just using a global replace on the prefix value.  And I have run across specialised software that says it only works with /48 blocks - sorry, I can not remember what it was.  As smaller assignments become common, hopefully such software will be fixed, but if you need a function provided by such software only, then you are out of luck.
