Hello IT Guys!
imagine this is the Global unicast ipv6 address taken from ISP1 (2a00:1:a:b:0000:0000:0000:0001:/64) I know the subnetting can be done after 48 bit in subnet id 16 bit.
When i borrow one bit from interface id as follow (2a00:1:a:b:7000:0000:0000:0000:/65) now i confused the fourth field starts from 7 upward or starts from 0 comes to 7 and stops here.
Note : from the right to left first bit value is (8) and three other values total (7).
Thank you

Hi @Abdul salaam ,
2a00:1:a:b:7000:0000:0000:0000/65 is not a valid subnet.
Hexadecimal 7000 = Binary 0111 0000 0000 0000
The two valid /65 subnets out of 2a00:1:a:b::/64 are
2a00:1:a:b::/65 and 2a00:1:a:b:8000::/65, as only the first bit after the /64 would differ from the first and second subnets.
N.B.: It is not recommended to subnet beyond the /64 limit for a user subnet.

Thank you sir, how to distribute ipv6 unique local ? it starts with fc00::/64 and goes through fdff::/64...
is this way correct to distribute ipv6 unique local ip address example :
fc00:1:a:f:b::1/64 next interface id fc00:1:a:f:b:0000:0000:0000:0002/64 goes to fc00:1:a:f:b:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff/64 ?
03-09-2023 03:44 AM
fc00:1:a:f:b::1/64 next interface id fc00:1:a:f:b:0000:0000:0000:0002/64 goes to fc00:1:a:f:b:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff/64 ?
can we move to left side and turn hexdigits from 0 to f until we reach to fc00::/64 ? like : fc00:fff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff/64 ?

Hi @Abdul salaam ,
The proper range for fc00::/64 (fc00:0000:0000:0000::/64) is
fc00:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 to fc00:0000:0000:0000:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff

Hi @Abdul salaam ,
fc00:1:a:f:b::1/64 is not a valid /64. Each group you specify at the beginning is 16 bits. So a /64 would be 4 groups of 16 bits and the interface identifier would be all 0 as follow:
fc00:1:a:f::/64
And the valid range would be:
fc00:1:a:f:0:0:0:0 to fc00:1:a:f::ffff:fffff:ffff:ffff
