NameDatatypeDescription
rangestringThe IPv6 range of addresses in this pool.
regionstringThe region for this range of IPv6 addresses.

Methods

NameAccessible byRequired ParamsDescription
getIPv6RangeSELECTrangeView IPv6 range information.
getIPv6RangesSELECTDisplays the IPv6 ranges on your Account.


An IPv6 range is a /64 or /54 block of IPv6 addresses routed to a single Linode in a given Region.

Your Linode is responsible for routing individual addresses in the range, or handling traffic for all the addresses in the range.

* Access the IPv6 Range Create (POST /networking/ipv6/ranges) endpoint to add a /64 or /56 block of IPv6 addresses to your account.
deleteIPv6RangeDELETErangeRemoves this IPv6 range from your account and disconnects the range from any assigned Linodes.

Note: Shared IPv6 ranges cannot be deleted at this time. Please contact Customer Support for assistance.
_getIPv6RangeEXECrangeView IPv6 range information.
_getIPv6RangesEXECDisplays the IPv6 ranges on your Account.


An IPv6 range is a /64 or /54 block of IPv6 addresses routed to a single Linode in a given Region.

Your Linode is responsible for routing individual addresses in the range, or handling traffic for all the addresses in the range.

* Access the IPv6 Range Create (POST /networking/ipv6/ranges) endpoint to add a /64 or /56 block of IPv6 addresses to your account.
postIPv6RangeEXECdata__prefix_lengthCreates an IPv6 Range and assigns it based on the provided Linode or route target IPv6 SLAAC address. See the ipv6 property when accessing the Linode View (GET /linode/instances/{linodeId}) endpoint to view a Linode's IPv6 SLAAC address.
Either linode_id or route_target is required in a request.
linode_id and route_target are mutually exclusive. Submitting values for both properties in a request results in an error.
Upon a successful request, an IPv6 range is created in the Region that corresponds to the provided linode_id or route_target.
Your Linode is responsible for routing individual addresses in the range, or handling traffic for all the addresses in the range.
Access the IP Addresses Assign (POST /networking/ips/assign) endpoint to re-assign IPv6 Ranges to your Linodes.

Note: The following restrictions apply:
A Linode can only have one IPv6 range targeting its SLAAC address.
An account can only have one IPv6 range in each Region.
Open a Support Ticket to request expansion of these restrictions.
