IPv6 – Static to Dynamic Prefix Migration
IPv6 is the new shit. It has reached about 40% adoption, constantly rising. Here's a personal story about me having to switch from using a static prefix to a dynamic. It shall save you from making the same mistakes I have.
There were several bumps along the road. You're invited to exploit from my experiences for your home or business network. It's mostly about the question of how to deploy an IPv6 environment in the first place. In 2016 I received a static IPv6 /48 prefix from my provider. Now I'm not only switching providers. The new one will provide me with dynamic prefixes. In order to prepare for that step I put myself to the path of enlightenment. That is ULA.
Plenty of people suggest not to use it but I think you need to be convinced otherwise. ULA stands for Unique Local Address and describe a specific type of IPv6 address range, that might be compared to RFC1918 in the legacy IPv4 world.
I have been exploiting IPv6 for the last decade and I would like to share with you my wisdom.
