Re: Using IPv6 with prefixes shorter than a /64 on a LAN

The subject says it all... anyone with experience with a setup like this ?Unicast addresses must be located in at least a /64 subnet. No doubt there are vendors which enforce this (perhaps even in the ASICs), so deviating from this rule will result in some lock-in.
The Juniper and Cisco equipment I have worked with can handle static LAN addresses with a mask different from /64 just fine. Same with OSes like FreeBSD, for instance. SLAAC obviously won't work. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug () nethelp no
