Configure IPv6 addressing for the cloud server

Public subnets in the cloud platform can be used simultaneously with IPv4 and IPv6 addressing.

An IPv6 subnet of size /64 can be added to any IPv4 subnet. Public IPv6 subnets are not displayed in the Control Panel.

  1. Create a public subnet.
  2. Create a ticket with a request to connect IPv6 addressing for a public subnet.
  3. Configure the public subnetwork network interface on the cloud server.

1. Create a public subnet⁠

Use the Create public subnet instruction.

2. Create a ticket⁠

  1. Create a ticket requesting to connect IPv6 addressing for a public subnet. Specify:

    • Project ID. You can view the ID in control panel: go to Cloud Platform → open the projects menu (name of the current project) → in the line of the desired project click ;
    • CIDR of a public IPv4 subnet. You can view the CIDR in control panel: go to Cloud Platform → Network → Public Subnets tab → subnet card;
    • pool where the public subnet is located.

  2. We will send the IPv6 subnet data in a ticket.

3. Configure the network interface of the public subnet⁠

Configure the public subnet network interface on the cloud server. When setting up, use:

  • default gateway is the first address of the public IPv6 subnet (::1);
  • public IPv6 subnet mask — /64;
  • Selectel's DNS servers are 2a00:ab00:2000:2000:1::53, 2a00:ab00:1000::53, 2a00:ab00::53.
