IPv6 Configuration
Setting up IPv6 address and subnet mask

EDIS VPS IPv6 address and subnet mask

Each VPS is automatically assigned its own /64 IPv6 subnet by EDIS. An IPv6 address from the assigned subnet is statically preconfigured on the interface.

To change the IPv6 address or add more addresses from the /64 assigned to your KVM, you'll need to use a manual configuration. The network setup is dependent on the operating system in use.

In Debian Linux you can work with the "ip" command.

Keep in mind that the **subnet mask must be configured as /48** and not /64.

Configure an IPv6 address at runtime:

ip -6 addr add 2a03:f80:ed15:435a::1/48 dev eth0

Display configured IPv6 addresses

ip -6 addr show

IPv6 default route (IPv6 default gateway)

To enable external IPv6 communication, a default route or default gateway must be configured.

Configure an IPv6 default route:

ip -6 route add default via 2a03:f80:ed15::1

Every server location has its own IPv6 default route! Only use the address valid for your server location!

Display configured IPv6 default route:

ip -6 route show
