Right. OpenWRT, for example, will automatically generate a random /48 within fd00::/8 to use as a ULA (unique local addressing) prefix for its LAN interfaces, and will advertise those prefixes to its clients. You can also manually configure a specific prefix instead. e.g. Imagine the following OpenWRT setup: ULA: fd9e:c023:bb5f::/48 (V)LAN 1: IPv6 assignment hint 1, suffix 1 (V)LAN 2: IPv6 assignment hint 2, suffix ffff Clients on LAN 1 would be advertised the prefix fd9e:c023:bb5f:1::/64 and automatically configure addresses for themselves within it. The router itself would be reachable at fd9e:c023:bb5f:1::1. Clients on LAN 2 would be advertised the prefix fd9e:c023:bb5f:2::/64 and automatically configure addresses for themselves within it. The router itself would be reachable at fd9e:c023:bb5f:2::ffff. Clients on LAN 1 could communicate with clients on LAN 2 (firewall permitting) and vice versa by using these ULA addresses, without any IPv6 WAN connectivity or global-scope addresses. |
