1. Select the Data Management tab.
2. If you have more than one network view in the system, select the network view in which you want to add the network.
3. Select the DHCP tab -> Networks tab.
4. In the Networks section, click the Add drop-down list and select IPv6 Network.
5. In the Add IPv6 Network wizard, select one of the following and click Next:
   • Add IPv6 Network: Click this to add an IPv6 network from scratch.
   • Add IPv6 Network using Template: To use a template, click this, and then click Select Template and select an IPv6 network template. For information about network templates, see About IPv6 Network Templates. When you use a template to create a network, the configurations of the template apply to the new network. The appliance populates the template properties in the wizard when you click Next. You can then edit the pre-populated properties. If the template specified a fixed netmask, you cannot edit the netmask.
6. Complete the following and click Next:
   • Regional Internet Registry: This section appears only when support for RIR updates is enabled. For information about RIR, see RIR Registration Updates. Complete the following to create 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 adding 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. The updated status and timestamp are displayed in the Status of last update field in the IPv6 Network Container or IPv6 Network editor.
     • 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 are adding an existing RIR allocated network to NIOS, select None. When you are adding 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.
   • Network View: This appears only when you have multiple network views. From the drop-down list, select the network view in which you want to create the network.
   • Netmask: Use the netmask slider to select the appropriate number of subnet mask bits for the network. Select /64 as the CIDR, if an IPv6 prefix is unavailable for an IPv6 network. When the prefix is available, you must adjust the slider to the desired netmask as per the CIDR in the prefix.
   • Networks: Do one of the following to add new networks:

Click the Add icon to enter a new network. If you are adding a network for a previously defined global IPv6 prefix, you can select the prefix from the IPv6 Prefix drop-down list. The default is None, which means that you are not creating an IPv6 network for a previously defined subnet route. If you have defined a global prefix at the Grid level, the default is the global prefix value. Click Add and Grid Manager adds a row to the table. Enter the network address in the Network field. When you enter an IPv6 address, you can use double colons to compress a contiguous sequence of zeros. You can also omit any leading zeros in a
four-hexadecimal group. For example, the complete IPv6 address 2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:0000:0102:0304 can be shortened to 2001:db8::0102:0304. Note that if there are multiple noncontiguous groups of zeros, the double colon can only be used for one group to avoid ambiguity. The appliance displays an IPv6 address in its shortened form, regardless of its form when it was entered. Click Add again to add another network. You can also select a network and click the Delete icon to delete it.
