IPv6 Subnet Masks - N10-008 CompTIA Network+ : 1.4

- - - - -
The need to subnet is minimized in IPv6, but there are still subnetting fundamentals that are important to know. In this video, you’ll learn about IPv6 subnetting and how most networks implement IPv6 subnet masks.

Loved that little chuckle when you said “18 million trillion..” you’re usually extremely focused on delivery with no time to joke (which is a good thing)

NGL IPv6 is really intimidating to understand, but the capabilities are

Nice! I worked for Comcast for 5 years and at one point we used the ipV6 address to log into the back end of our modems whenever we needed to change anything or verify info . Full circle 😎

Thank you I needed this. Starting Network Support practice soon.

You make this alot easier for me thanks.

only if ipv4 subnetting was that easy :\

[RhysW-ff]

So with IPv6 addresses there are so many addresses available per person you can put each end device on it's own subnet?

[jackr]

Am I understanding it correctly that subnets can be nested then, and we can/could have a toplevel subnet, and then a computer/switch/router could subnet further? I imagine this might only be something a very large company could or might do, but... is that a correct understanding?

If IPv6 is subnetting the forth octet, is it going to be /48 instead of /64 given 2600:DDDD:1111 are already prefixed? Or this type of subnetting is used only for IPv4?
