Hi,
Thanks for the response. If you don't mind I have a few additional
questions.
Does the /48 prefix correspond to a 2002::/48 address?
If so, I'm a little unclear on how these addresses work. As I
understand it to create an address of this form I need to do the
following:
1. Take my IPv4 address and convert it from four 8 bit numbers to
2 16 bit hex numbers. (ie 192.168.0.2 (not my real IP) ->
c0a8:0002)
2. Add the prefix 2002 -> 2002:c0a8:0002::
Its the last :: that confuses me. I take that this means that my full
address is:
2002:c0a8:0002:0:0:0:0:0
To me this doesn't look like a host address. It looks more like a
network address (ala 192.168.0.0). Is this a valid host address in
IPv6?
My second question is about the /48 part. Does the /48 part correspond
to the netmask? If so, does this mean that the lower 80 bytes are
availble for host addresses?
Basically I'm asking if I could assign the addresses:
2002:c0a8:0002:0:0:0:0:1 and 2002:c0a8:0002:0:0:0:0:2
to my other two machines in order to have them connect via IPv6.
Sorry if my questions sound really basic, I'm pretty new to this.
Thanks,
