Adding a whole range instead of individual IPv6 addresses

[Ross_Fisher]

Greetings!

My provider provides a /64 block of IPv6 addresses to use. In cPanel, I could simply dump in the range and mass automagically enable a unique IPv6 address for each domain/account.

I have IPv6 addresses 2001:19f0:4009:4204:0000:0000:0000:0000-
2001:19f0:4009:4204:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff

How do I add a range into Plesk and have it assign an IPv6 per account/domain?

Hi Ross_Fisher,

due to the case that there is no "automatic" assignment - feature, you might find it interesting to read this external article:

http://www.ispcolohost.com/2013/07/11/create-ipv6-addresses-based-on-ipv4-on-a-plesk-server/ ( External link, ples. inform me if the link goes dead! )

The author provided a self-made-script ( usage on your very own risk! ), which you could modify to fit your needs:

# Define IPv6 /32 as "####:####"
$ipv6Assignment = "2001:db8";
# Define site ID as just an integer
$ipv6SiteID = "1";
# Define VLAN of server
$vlan = "500";
# Define primary network interface name; typically eth0 or em1
$iface = "eth0";
# Define IPv6 subnet mask; should very rarely be anything other than /64
$mask = "64";
@ipList = `/usr/local/psa/bin/ipmanage --ip_list`;
foreach $line (@ipList) {
chomp $line;
if ( $line =~ /^0     E    $iface:(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)\// ) {
  $ipv6 = sprintf("$ipv6Assignment:$ipv6SiteID:$vlan:%X:%X:%X:%X",$1,$2,$3,$4);
  $ipv4 = "$1.$2.$3.$4";
  #
  # Doesn't matter of the IPv6 address already exists
  # because Plesk will just give an error about adding it.
  #
  print "/usr/local/psa/bin/ipmanage -c $ipv6 -type exclusive -mask $mask -interface $iface\n";
}
