 specify an IPv6 subnet to pick the addresses from. Set the IPv6 subnet via the
 `--fixed-cidr-v6` parameter when starting Docker daemon:
 
-    docker -d --ipv6 --fixed-cidr-v6="2001:db8:0:2:/64"

 The subnet for Docker containers should at least have a size of `/80`. This way
 an IPv6 address can end with the container's MAC address and you prevent NDP
