When you enable support for RIR updates, you can create IPv6 network templates specific for RIR associated networks. For information about RIR updates, see RIR Registration Updates.
You can also configure network templates for cloud delegation if you have deployed the Cloud Network Automation on the Grid Master. If you select a default Cloud Platform Appliance for a template, all networks you create using this template will delegate authority to the same Cloud member. Note that when a Cloud member is removed from the Grid, the delegation will also be removed from the template. For information about Cloud Network Automation, see Deploying Cloud Network Automation .

Adding IPv6 Network Templates

...

1. From the Data Management tab, select the DHCP tab -> Templates tab.
2. Click the Add drop-down menu and select IPv6 Network Template.
3. In the Add IPv6 Network Template wizard, do the following:
   • RegionalInternetRegistry: This section appears only when support for RIR updates is enabled. For information about RIR, see RIR Registration Updates. Complete the following to create a network template for an RIR IPv6 network container or network:
     • Internet Registry: Select the RIR from the drop-down list. The default is RIPE. When you select None, the network is not associated with an RIR organization.
     • Organization ID: Click Select Organization and select an organization from the RIR Organization Selector dialog box.
     • Registration Status: The default is Not Registered. When using this template to add an RIR allocated network, you can change this to Registered and select the Do not update registrations check box below. Note that when you select API as the communication method, the registration status will be updated automatically after the registration update is completed. However, when you select Email as the communication method, the registration status will not be automatically updated. If you are creating a new network and the registration update is completed successfully, the status will be changed to Registered. If the update fails, the status will be changed to Not Registered.
     • Registration Action: Select the registration action from the drop-down list. When you select Create, the appliance creates the IPv4 network and assigns it to the selected organization. When you select None, the appliance does not send registration updates to RIPE. When you use this template to add an existing RIR allocated network to NIOS, select None. When you use this template to add networks to an RIR allocated network (a parent network), select Create. Ensure that the parent network associated with an RIR organization already exists.
     • Do not update registrations: Select this check box if you do not want the appliance to submit RIR updates to RIPE. By default, the appliance sends updates to the RIR database based on the configured communication method.
   • IPv6 Prefix: If you are adding a template for a previously defined global IPv6 prefix, you can select it from the list.
   • Name: Enter a name that helps identify the network template.
   • Netmask: Select one of the following options:
     • Fixed: Select this and adjust the netmask slider to a fixed netmask for this network template. When you select this option, users cannot specify another netmask when they use this template to create a network. For example, if you select /24 as the fixed netmask, all networks created using this template have a /24 netmask.
     • Allow User to Specify Netmask: Select this to allow users to specify the subnet mask when creating networks using this template.
   • Comment: Enter useful information about the template.
   • Automatically create a reverse-mapping zone: This function is enabled if the fixed netmask of the template is a multiple of 4 (4, 8, 24, and so on), or if you select the Allow User to Specify Netmask option. Select this if you want the appliance to automatically create the corresponding reverse-mapping zone for the networks created using this template. These zones are created in the DNS view assigned to receive dynamic DNS updates at the network level.

The Cloud section appears when the Cloud Network Automation license is installed on the Grid Master. For information, see Deploying Cloud Network Automation. To configure this template for cloud delegation, complete the following:
Use for cloud delegation: Select this check box to enable cloud delegation for this template.

1. From the Data Management tab, select the DHCP tab -> Templates tab -> template check box, and then click the Edit icon.
2. The Network Template editor contains the following tabs from which you can modify data:
   • General: Modify general information described in Adding IPv6 Network Templates.
   • Member Assignment: Change the Grid members that provide DHCP services for networks created from this template. For information, see Adding IPv6 Networks .
   • Templates: Add or delete DHCP range and fixed address templates. For information, see Adding IPv6 Range Templates and Adding IPv6 Fixed Address Templates.
   • IPv6 DHCP Options: Keep the inherited DHCP options or override them and enter unique settings for the template. For information, see Defining General IPv6 Properties.
   • RIR Registration: Modify RIR network information. This tab appears only when support for RIR updates is enabled. For information, see Modifying RIR Network Data.
   • Extensible Attributes: Add and delete extensible attributes that are associated with the template. You can also modify the values of the extensible attributes. For information, see Using Extensible Attributes.
   • Permissions: This tab appears only if you belong to a superuser admin group. For information, see Managing Permissions.
