# Add IPv6 address range to accounts

`GET /ipv6_enable_account`

This function assigns an IPv6 address to one or more accounts.

**Note:**

You **must** perform at least one of the following actions before you call this function:
  * Use WHM's [*IPv6 Ranges*](https://go.cpanel.net/whmdocsIPv6Ranges) interface (*WHM >> Home >> IP Functions >> IPv6 Ranges*) or WHM API 1's `ipv6_range_add` function to add one or more IPv6 address ranges for use as dedicated IPv6 addresses.
  * Use WHM's [*Basic WebHost Manager Setup*](https://go.cpanel.net/whmdocsBasicasisWebHostManagerSetup) interface (*WHM >> Home >> Server Configuration >> Basic WebHost Manager Setup*) or modify the [`/etc/wwwacct.conf`](https://go.cpanel.net/advancedinstall) file to add a shared IPv6 address to the server.
  * For all of cPanel & WHM's features to function properly on IPv6, the `cpsrvd` daemon **must** listen on IPv6 addresses. To enable this functionality, select *On* for the *Listen on IPv6 Addresses* setting in the *System* section of WHM's [*Tweak Settings*](https://go.cpanel.net/whmdocsTweakSettings#system) interface (*WHM >> Home >> Server Configuration >> Tweak Settings*).

**Important:**

When you disable the [Web Server role](https://go.cpanel.net/howtouseserverprofiles#roles), the system **disables** this function.
