Version
26.1.0

Split IPv6 blocks and networks (either from the Unique Local Address Space or the Global Unicast Address Space) into multiple blocks and networks. Divide IPv6 networks into multiple sub-networks to help you better manage your IP space.

One IPv6 block or network can be divided exponentially into 2 blocks or networks, up to a maximum of 1024. Before finalizing the split, Address Manager will show you an overview of all the new blocks or networks that will be created. You will also be able to assign names to each of the new objects.

Note: Users must have change, add, or full access rights on IPv6 objects to split or resize IPv6 blocks.
Limitations
  • A size-1 block or network can't be split.
  • The maximum block size that can be split is /126.
  • A block or network can't be split if the split point falls on a reserved IP address.
  • A block or network can't be split if the split point falls in between a DHCP range.

To split an IPv6 block or network:

  1. Select the IPAM tab in the sidebar, then select IPv6 blocks.
  2. Navigate to the parent block that contains the IPv6 block or network by selecting the parent block's range in the IPv6 blocks table, or by selecting the parent block in the IPAM tree view panel.
  3. Select the row actions button (⋮) for the block or network, then select Split.
  4. From the Number of blocks/networks drop-down menu, select the desired number of sub-blocks or sub-networks.
  5. Select Next.
  6. Under Confirm list of blocks/networks, set the following as needed:
    • Block/Network name—enter names for the blocks/networks.
  7. Select Split block/network.
