Open post David Gwynne @dlg@social.bsdlab.au · 2mo ago Replying to @lw@mastodon.bsd.cafe <p>on an IPv6 router, when configuring a routed /64 for clients (on an access port, vlan, whatever), do you prefer to:</p><p>(a) assign an IP address from the /64 to the router interface, or</p><p>(b) do not assign an IP address and instead add a /64 interface route.</p><p>i used to do (a), but i'm starting to prefer (b); fewer IP addresses on the router makes management easier, and there are no "special" IP addresses in the subnet.</p><p>one downside seems to be that many routers in this configuration won't receive packets destined for the subnet-routers anycast address, which may technically be an RFC violation, but i've never seen anything that relies on that.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ipv6" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ipv6</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/networking" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>networking</span></a></p> @lw@mastodon.bsd.cafe what's a subnet router anycast address?
