Create an IPv6 range

Creates an IPv6 Range and assigns it based on the provided Linode or route target IPv6 SLAAC address. See the ipv6 property when running the Get a Linode operation 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.
• Run the Assign IP addresses operation to re-assign IPv6 Ranges to your Linodes.

📘

• 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.
