Thanks for your input Michael. The vagueness of the problem description reflects my own confusion. We are not using IGP as of now, its a small NOC with a couple of devices. ------- Original Message ------- On Monday, July 31st, 2023 at 12:38 AM, Michael Richardson <mcr+ietf@sandelman.ca> wrote:
Each router needs a /128 as a loopback address to use. I assign them all from a single /64 for that purpose.
Ok.
Many of your p2p ethernet links between sites/routers might not need prefixes at all.
This is not clear.
2. How will we be assigning static address to (DNS?) servers?
I don't understand the question.
My question was that I have a /35 (say 2001:db8:2000::/35), and a router with three interfaces, one a p2p link with upstream, rest two interfaces are connected to two different segments as shown below: │ ┌─────────┴───────┐ │ │ │ Router │ │ │ └────┬───────┬────┘ A │ │ B ┌─────────┘ └───────────┐ │ │ ┌─────────┴───┐ ┌───────┴──────┐ │ C D │ E │ F│ ┌───┴────┐ ┌──────┴──┐ ┌──┴─┐ ┌──┴─┐ │ dns1 │ │ mail1 │ │ S1│ │S2 │ └────────┘ └─────────┘ └────┘ └────┘ In the diagram above what will be the ip address at points A to F? C-F are servers and need static ip address.
Otherwise a static allocation from the /64 that the routers provide.
Can you please elaborate this? Thanks for your patience and time. I hope the questions I am having will be shared by many and will be addressed in the guidelines when published! X.
