In order to organise your allocated IP address space, you typically sub-divide it into smaller subnets. In Easy-IPv6, you can do this by selecting a subnet and adding child subnets.

 

 

 

Adding Child Subnets to a subnet without children

 

To add child subnets, a subnet must be selected first.

 

 

To add Child Subnets, perform the following steps:

 

 

You can add child subnets to multiple subnets if all the subnets selected in the subnet browser have the same subnet mask and IP version.

 

If the parent subnet already contains IP addresses, they will be preserved along with any data records.

 

You can also select Enter Subnets from the drop down menu if you would like to add the child subnets manually.

 

 

Adding Child Subnets to a subnet with children

 

If you select a subnet that already has children then click Add Children, you will be presented with the add unallocated subnets dialog.

 

 

This dialog allows you to select which child subnets to add. Available subnets are displayed in green, existing subnets are shown in blue.

 

Changing the value of the Minimum subnet mask box allows you to control the masks of the unallocated subnets.

 

Use the All subnets, Existing subnets and Available subnets radio buttons to control the types of subnet that are displayed.

 

Click Add checked subnets to add the checked subnets to the database.
