# Assigning tons of /64s to *nix machines (telehouse-NY)
|
|
|
|
### Get a /125 transit net for the connection to the server:
|
|
`2620:57:e000:e::10/125`
|
|
|
|
### give the first IP in transit subnet to the ICX7750:
|
|
```
|
|
enable
|
|
conf t
|
|
int ve 2000
|
|
ipv6 addr 2620:57:e000:e::11/125
|
|
ipv6 nd suppress-ra
|
|
```
|
|
The next IP after this, `2620:57:e000:e::12`, will be given to the server.
|
|
|
|
### Choose a /56 to give to the server:
|
|
`2620:57:e000:400::/56`
|
|
|
|
### Tell the ICX7750 the entire /56 is accessible over previous transit link:
|
|
```
|
|
enable
|
|
conf t
|
|
ipv6 route 2620:57:e000:400::/56 2620:57:e000:e::12
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The destination is your chosen `2620:57:e000:400::/56` subnet, the next-hop is the server end of the transit subnet, `2620:57:e000:e::12`
|
|
|
|
### Give the server its own address in the transit subnet:
|
|
**Note**: this should be one address up from what the router (ICX7750) has.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
nano /etc/network/interfaces
|
|
|
|
auto eth1
|
|
iface eth1 inet6 static
|
|
address 2620:57:e000:e::12
|
|
netmask 125
|
|
gateway 2620:57:e000:e::11
|
|
autoconf 0
|
|
```
|
|
Now run the below command to assign the entire /56 to the server's loopback interface:
|
|
**Note:** this uses Linux's [AnyIP](https://blog.widodh.nl/2016/04/anyip-bind-a-whole-subnet-to-your-linux-machine/) feature
|
|
|
|
`ip -6 route add local 2620:57:e000:400::/56 dev lo`
|
|
|
|
Your server will now respond to any address in the entire /56 - however most applications and daemons will complain when you try to bind them to an address in this block, since they're not *technically* assigned to any real linux interface. To solve this, enable the `net.ipv6.ip_nonlocal_bind` sysctl:
|
|
|
|
`sysctl -w net.ipv6.ip_nonlocal_bind=1`
|
|
|
|
Applications can now bind to any IP address in the /56. To make this permanent so it persists reboots, you need to edit `/etc/sysctl.conf`:
|
|
|
|
```nano /etc/sysctl.conf```
|
|
|
|
Add the following line and then save it:
|
|
|
|
`net.ipv6.ip_nonlocal_bind = 1`
|
|
|
|
The `ip -6 route` command we ran earlier to assign the /56 will also disappear on reboot, to make it persist reboots, add it as a `pre-up` command to our network interfaces file, under your transit subnet interface:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
nano /etc/network/interfaces
|
|
|
|
auto eth1
|
|
iface eth1 inet6 static
|
|
address 2620:57:e000:e::12
|
|
netmask 125
|
|
gateway 2620:57:e000:e::11
|
|
autoconf 0
|
|
pre-up ip -6 route add local 2620:57:e000:400::/56 dev lo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Finding all the /64s to bind to
|
|
If your application needs to be bound to each /64, stick our `2620:57:e000:400::/56` subnet into [this calculator](https://subnettingpractice.com/ipv6_subnetting.html), and choose /64s from the dropdown then press calculate:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then simply bind each of your application instances to the first address in each /64 - For instance:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Instance 1 - 2620:57:e000:400::1/64
|
|
Instance 2 - 2620:57:e000:401::2/64
|
|
Instance 3 - 2620:57:e000:402::/64
|
|
etc etc etc
|
|
```
