Function postIpv6Range

Create an IPv6 range

Creates an IPv6 Range and assigns it based on the provided Linode or route target IPv6 SLAAC address. See the ipv6 property when running the Get a Linode operation to view a Linode's IPv6 SLAAC address.

• Either linode_id or route_target is required in a request.
• linode_id and route_target are mutually exclusive. Submitting values for both properties in a request results in an error.
• Upon a successful request, an IPv6 range is created in the region that corresponds to the provided linode_id or route_target.
• Your Linode is responsible for routing individual addresses in the range, or handling traffic for all the addresses in the range.
• Run the Assign IP addresses operation to re-assign IPv6 Ranges to your Linodes.

📘

• A Linode can only have one IPv6 range targeting its SLAAC address.
• An account can only have one IPv6 range in each region.
• Open a support ticket to request expansion of these restrictions.
