Elias,
Below is taken from a quick google search from a Microsoft DOC. It
does a good job explaining the steps to create sites and subnets.
Additionally when you go to create the subnet, the GUI will provide
examples on how to enter for IPv4 and IPv6 subnets. I hope this helps.
To configure additional Active Directory sites
1.
On the primary domain controller, click *Start*, and then click
*Active Directory Sites and Services*.
2.
In the Active Directory Sites and Services console, in the console
tree, right-click *Sites*, and then click *New Site*.
3.
On the *New Object - Site* dialog box, in the *Name* box, enter a
name for the new site.
4.
In *Link Name*, click a site link object, and then click *OK* twice.
5.
In the console tree, expand *Sites*, right-click *Subnets*, and then
click *New Subnet*.
6.
On the *New Object - Subnet* dialog box, under *Prefix*, type the
IPv4 or IPv6 subnet prefix, in the *Select a site object for this
prefix* list, click the site to associate with this subnet, and then
click *OK*.
7.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you have created all the subnets required
in your deployment.
8.
Close Active Directory Sites and Services.
