IPv6 Address Renumbering

IPv6 uses provider aggregated IP addresses. In the documentation you can read, how easy it is to do address renumbering.
You can specify a general prefix on a device. If you need to change the address, you have to change the global prefix only, and all addresses got the new prefix on this device.
On cisco devices it is:
ipv6 general-prefix PROD 2001:DB8:1234::/48 ! interface Vlan1 description Management Network ipv6 address PROD ::1:0:0:0:2E1/64 ipv6 enable ! interface Vlan2 description Management Network ipv6 address PROD ::2:0:0:0:FF/64 ipv6 enable !
Now you change the address of the generel-prefix PROD and all your IP addresses on this device are changed.
