In this video, Keith Barker covers why IPv6 Prefix Delegation is useful. In addition to assigning individual IP addresses, ISPs can assign entire networks to customers. He’ll walk through all of the steps to configure it effectively, as well as verify that it’s working correctly.

If an internet service provider has a customer who needs a hundred subnets, the ISP could assign them individual IP addresses, or they could choose to assign an entire network. One of the methods of delivering that information is through prefix delegation. Keith discusses the theory behind this capability, then gives an example in which prefix delegation would be useful. Once you understand the overall concept, he’ll walk through each step of configuring a range of addresses to assign to a fictional customer. By the end of the video, you should feel comfortable with not only the various applications of IPv6 prefix delegation but also how to set it up when you need it.
