IPv6 Management Security Features Authorized IP Managers for IPv6 to 0 ("off") and allow the corresponding bits in an authorized IPv6 address to be either "on" or "off". As a result, only the four IPv6 addresses shown in Figure 6-5 are allowed access. IPv6 Mask IPv6 Address Entered with the "ipv6 authorized-managers" Command Other Authorized IPv6 Addresses 1st Block FFFF 2001 2nd Block FFFF DB8 3rd Block FFFF 0000 4th Block FFFF 0000 5th Block FFFF 244 6th Block FFFF 17FF 7th Block FFFF FEB6 8th Block FFFC D37D 2001 DB8 0000 0000 244 2001 DB8 0000 0000 244 2001 DB8 0000 0000 244 17FF FEB6 D37C 17FF FEB6 D37E 17FF FEB6 D37F Figure 6-5. Example: How Hexadecimal C in a Mask Authorizes Four IPv6 Manager Addresses Example. Figure 6-6 shows an example in which a mask is applied to the IPv6 address: 2001:DB8:0000:0000:244:17FF:FEB6:D37D/64. The specified mask FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFF8:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF configures eight management stations as authorized IP manager stations. Note that, in this example, the IPv6 mask is applied as follows: ■ Eight management stations in different subnets are authorized by the value of the fourth block (FFF8) in the 64-bit prefix ID (FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFF8) of the mask. (The fourth block of the prefix ID is often used to define subnets in an IPv6 network.) The binary equivalent of FFF8 that is used to specify valid subnet IDs in the IPv6 addresses of authorized stations is: 1111 1111 1111 1000. The three "off" bits (1000) in the last part of the this block (FFF8) of the mask allow for eight possible authorized IPv6 stations: 2001:DB8:0000:0000:244:17FF:FEB6:D37D 2001:DB8:0000:0001:244:17FF:FEB6:D37D 2001:DB8:0000:0002:244:17FF:FEB6:D37D 2001:DB8:0000:0003:244:17FF:FEB6:D37D 2001:DB8:0000:0004:244:17FF:FEB6:D37D 2001:DB8:0000:0005:244:17FF:FEB6:D37D 2001:DB8:0000:0006:244:17FF:FEB6:D37D 2001:DB8:0000:0007:244:17FF:FEB6:D37D 6-9
