description: 'Creates an IPv6 Range and assigns it based on the provided Linode or route target IPv6 SLAAC address. See the `ipv6` property when running the Get a Linode operation to view a Linode''s IPv6 SLAAC address.
- Either `linode_id` or `route_target` is required in a request.
- `linode_id` and `route_target` are mutually exclusive. Submitting values for both properties in a request results in an error.
- Upon a successful request, an IPv6 range is created in the region that corresponds to the provided `linode_id` or `route_target`.
- Your Linode is responsible for routing individual addresses in the range, or handling traffic for all the addresses in the range.
- Run the Assign IP addresses operation to re-assign IPv6 Ranges to your Linodes.
> 📘
>
> - A Linode can only have one IPv6 range targeting its SLAAC address.
> - An account can only have one IPv6 range in each region.
> - Open a support ticket to request expansion of these restrictions.
