Adding An IPv6 Range Through WHM

Before you can assign individual and specific IPv6 addresses to users, you must first define their range.  A range of addresses is a cluster of a few IPv6 addresses.  Through this function in WHM, you'll be able to add, edit and delete the ranges you want. Follow this guide to set up the ranges for IPv6.

Adding An IPv6 Range Through WHM

Step 1: Log in to your WHM account

Step 2: Head to Home > IP Functions.  You can select IP Functions from the available home menu or locate them within the available organized columns on the left-hand side.

This can be located quickly by searching for "ipv6" in the search box.

Step 3: Find and choose IPv6 Ranges

Step 4: Click the Add Range button

Step 5: Type the name for the range in the Range Name text box

Step 6: Type in the IPv6 range you want into the Range text box

The range is made up of shortened address, a slash (/), and an indicating number for the network part of the IPv6 address

Step 7: Choose either the Available or Reserved button

7a: Available – addresses can be assigned
7b:  Reserved – addresses can not be assigned

Step 8: Include a description of the range in the Range Notes text box

Step 9: Click the Add Range button

Make sure your server is configured for IPv6 before you attempt to add them. If you need help with this, see our guide on how to add IPv6 assignments.
