IPv6 Configuration

You can enable the IPv6 LAN and configure the network to support IPv6. Using IPv6 LANs, devices can communicate on the same LAN using standard IPv6 protocols. IONOS LANs route packets between devices and networks, ensuring that the network runs smoothly and effectively.

New data center location: IPv6 Configuration is now available in IONOS Cloud's EN 50600-certified data center in Frankfurt, Germany, enhancing high availability, redundancy, and operational security. You can configure IPv6 in the new data center by selecting Germany / Frankfurt am Main (de/fra/2) from the drop-down list in the DCD, or by using the location code de/fra/2 when deploying through the API. For more information, see Release Notes.

Prerequisites: Prior to enabling IPv6, make sure you have the appropriate privileges. New Virtual Data Center (VDC) can be created by the contract owners, administrators, or users with create VDC privilege. The leading number of bits in the address that cannot be changed is the prefix length. For Data Center IPv6 CIDR, the prefix length is /56.
