--- title: "About IPv6 Fixed Address Templates" canonical: "https://docs.infoblox.com/space/nios85/35914815/About%20IPv6%20Fixed%20Address%20Templates" format: markdown --- A fixed address template is useful when you want to create multiple fixed addresses in a network. When you create a fixed address template, you specify the offset value and number of fixed addresses to be created. You can also specify additional properties for the fixed addresses. Note that you can use the template to create address-based fixed addresses. You cannot specify prefixes in the template because a fixed address could use a prefix that is not part of the subnet to which the fixed address belongs. You can enter prefixes when you create the individual fixed address objects using the template. If you have deployed the Cloud Network Automation license on the Grid Master, you can configure fixed address templates for cloud delegation. When you configure a template for cloud delegation, all fixed addresses you create using this template will inherit authority delegations from their parent objects. For information about Cloud Network Automation, see *[Deploying](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35881011)*[ ](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35881011)*[Cloud](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35881011)*[ ](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35881011)*[Network](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35881011)*[ ](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35881011)*[Automation](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35881011)*[.](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35881011) # > Macro (anchor) > Macro (anchor) > Macro (anchor) Adding IPv6 Fixed Address Templates To create an IPv6 fixed address template: 1. From the **Data** **Management** tab, select the **DHCP** tab -> **Templates** tab. 2. Click the drop-down menu of the Add icon and select **IPv6** **Fixed** **Address** **Template**. 3. In the *Add* *IPv6* *Fixed* *Address* *Template* wizard, enter the following: - **Name:** Enter a name that helps identify the IPv6 fixed address template. For example, you can enter **HP** **Printer** when you create a template that contains settings for assigning fixed addresses or reservations to HP printers. - **Comment:** Optionally, enter additional information about the template. - **Use** **for** **cloud** **delegation**: When you select this checkbox, all fixed addresses you create using this template inherit authority delegation from their parent objects. In the **Optional** **Settings** **For** **Range** **of** **Objects** section, do the following: > Macro (legacy-content) > ⚠️ **Note** > ⚠️ > ⚠️ The appliance uses the offset and number of addresses only when this template is used in a network template. 4.
