Policies for Replacing IPv6 Ranges in RapidSeedbox Data Centers
Managing IP range allocations effectively in RapidSeedbox data centers involves understanding the specific policies related to replacing ranges like IPv6 /29 /32 and /48. This article summarizes the guidelines and conditions for replacement.
Replacement of /48 Ranges
If you have been assigned a /48 range in a RapidSeedbox data center, the following options are available for replacing it:
Currently Announced Ranges: If the existing /48 range is actively announced in the data center, you have the option to select a replacement range offered by the networking support team.
De-Announcement Option: Alternatively, you can choose to wait for the existing /48 range to be de-announced before initiating the replacement process.
Replacement of /29 or /32 Ranges
For larger IPv6 allocations such as /29, or /32 ranges, the following replacement policy applies:
Replacement Restrictions: /29 and /32 ranges cannot be replaced during the active subscription period. Replacement or changes can only be made once the subscription term for the current /32 range expires.
Considerations for Replacement Requests
When initiating an IP range replacement request, keep in mind:
The operational status of the range (whether it is currently announced, blocked, or de-announced) directly impacts replacement eligibility.
Subscription terms and periods often define when changes can be made, especially for larger ranges.
Summary of IPv6 Range Adjustments
IPv6 /48 ranges offer flexibility for immediate replacement under operational circumstances, or after being de-announced.
IPv6 /29 and /32 ranges adhere to stricter rules, with changes only permitted after subscription expiration.
These policies ensure a structured and predictable approach to IP range management in our data centers. For additional help or specific questions about your IP range, reach out to RapidSeedbox support.
