Now we had to use a bit of that range for the LAN address of the router itself (the 2001:8b0:XXXX:YYYY::1 address set previously). So whilst we are at it, let's reserve some of the address for static use (i.e. not DHCP6). The easiest is to say that all addresses in the 2001:8b0:XXXX:YYYY:0000:://80 range are statically assigned. This means the static range has 2^48 addresses available, which could seem a bit excessive, but who cares, with [[IPv6]] we have more addresses than atoms in the universe :-)
 
We can then assign the rest of your block to DHCPv6 (although it could be an idea to restrict the range if you later want to create fancy subnets with their own router in your LAN). So the following range will be given to DHCPv6:
 
<code>2001:8b0:XXXX:YYYY::1:0000 to 2001:8b0:XXXX:YYYY:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff</code>

I suspect there will be no real need to reserve a part of this range as if you need to create fancy subnetworks then you just need to use another one of your /64 blocks (and you have been given 65536 of them, that should be enough!).
