how to use all IPv6 IPs?

networking

I'm don't know much about IPv6, from what I have read so far, on Linode we get a /64 subnet which means we get 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 IP addresses.

How do I use any of these IPs?

Is there anyway to make all of them available on my machine without configuring them one by one?

You should review the Linode guide to IPv6. What you are asking about is an "address pool," which is described in that document, not the automatically-assigned SLAAC address.

I am not familiar with a method that allows assigning a range of addresses to an interface - as the guide points out, they are listed individually in the example configurations given.
