Hi All_About et all,

I could be completely wrong here but while RFC Reference you are showing us,
was nice to read, I think of that FC00/7 with the Universal/Local (U/L)
modification part, is for Pseudo-Random Global ID automatic IPV6 global ID.

Now doing another browse, I found this
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hinden-ipv6-global-local-addr-00

Is almost the same document as the RFC you pointed out.

Now for the Structure part of the IPV6 Addressing shown in that Draft Link

| n |
| bits | m bits | 16 bits | 64 bits |
+--------+------------+-----------+-----------------------------+
| prefix | global ID | subnet ID | interface ID |
+--------+------------+-----------+-----------------------------+

The one you purpose for *me* is not right "FDA1:B2C3:D4E5:5::5/64"

So I think here that the correct IPV6 here Global ID is

Int lo0
Ipv6 add FC00:A1B2:C3D4:E5::/64 eui-64

Again I could be completely off here, so do not take my opinion as correct

Thanks
Victor.-

Asunto: IPv6 Global ID - is this right?

Interesting bit.. after having read thru on Global ID, would this be the
correct way of addressing it given the 40-bit global ID A1B2C3D4E5:

FDA1:B2C3:D4E5:5::5/64

Prefix: FC00/7 with L-bit = 1, therefore we get FD
--According to RFC4193--

Concatenate FC00::/7, the L bit set to 1, and the 40-bit Global ID to create
a Local IPv6 address prefix.

Then the rest of the 40-bit (A1B2C3D4E5) is concatenated, leaving now 16-bit
for our SubnetID ("5" was randomly chosen, maybe picked off from R5?) and
finally 64-bit for interfaceID.

Appreciate any feedback on this one..

Thanks.

Cheers,
K
