Allocation

Allocations are available to SupraNet customers in sizes of /56. This contains 256 /64's, each which have 2^64 (18,446,744,073,709,551,616 or 18 Quintillion) usable addresses which will allow for autoconfiguration of hosts on a network (similar to DHCP).

To use IPv6 your network equipment (such as firewall or router) must support it. All modern operating systems such as Windows, OSX, Linux, FreeBSD support IPv6.

Please contact support@supranet.net for an IPv6 allocation.

DNS

SupraNet has two types of DNS servers: private/recursive servers for our connectivity customers, and our public/authoritative servers for domain name hosting. If you are configuring a system to do DNS queries, use the private DNS servers. If you are registering a domain and want SupraNet to host DNS, use the public servers.

SupraNet's private DNS servers will not answer queries from systems outside our network.


Private DNS Servers:

  • 2607:f4e0:0:10::10
  • 2607:f4e0:0:10::19


Public DNS Servers:

  • dns1.supranet.net (2607:f4e0:0:10::12)
  • dns2.supranet.net (2607:f4e0:1:102::18)
  • dns3.supranet.net (2607:f4e0:0:10::11)
