==IPv4 interlink==

We provide a block of 8 IPv4 addresses (a /29). As usual the first and last are not usable (network and broadcast) leaving 6 usable addresses. 3 of these are for our use and 3 are usable by you.

For example, if you've been assigned 192.0.2.0/29

{| class="wikitable"

| 0 || Unusable

| 192.0.2.0 || Unusable

|-

| 1 || Virtual gateway address

| 192.0.2.1 || Virtual gateway address

|-

| 2 || A router address

| 192.0.2.2 || A router address

|-

| 3 || B router address

| 192.0.2.3 || B router address

|-

| 4 || For your use

| 192.0.2.4 || For your use

|-

| 5 || For your use

| 192.0.2.5 || For your use

|-

| 6 || For your use

| 192.0.2.6 || For your use

|-

| 7 || Broadcast

| 192.0.2.7 || Broadcast

==IPv6 interlink==

For IPv6 we will allocate two addresses, one for each of our routers and announce these as router addresses. You should configure your firewall/router to configure its IPv6 external address automatically. If we shut down a router for maintenance it will announce itself as the low priority router before shutting down so as to ensure you switch to the other router automatically. ~~You can set DNS manually to 2001:8b0::2020 and 2001:8b0::2021.~~
