Add IP pools and OS templates in the Virtualizor admin panel
As a Virtualizor admin, create IPv4 and IPv6 pools with gateway and netmask, set nameservers, download OS templates and ISOs so new VPS get working networks and images.
CIDR notation and subnets explained (/24, /32, /64)
Learn what CIDR suffixes like /24, /32 and /64 mean, how many addresses each covers, and how to use them safely in firewall allowlists and blocklists.

What an IP address is, how public and private ranges differ, and when a shared or dedicated IP matters for your website, email or server.

Add and reread IP addresses in Plesk, mark them shared or dedicated, assign IPs to resellers and subscriptions, set a default certificate and use IPv6.
Set up IPv6 on a Linux VPS and test it
Add the IPv6 address and gateway from your provider with Netplan or nmcli, open the firewall, publish AAAA records and confirm IPv6 works end to end.
Set up VirtFusion networking: IP blocks, IPv4/IPv6 pools and bridges
Plan and configure hypervisor networking in VirtFusion: create the Linux bridge, add IPv4 and IPv6 blocks, attach them to hypervisors and test new servers.
UFW and IPv6: make sure your rules cover both
