Each digit in Hextet is a Nibble = 4bits

Extend the Subnet ID ( Within a nibble)

binary to identify the subnets
A nibble is a hexadecimal digit = 4 binary digits

65 66 67 68
So we have 1 bit to do subnetting that is 2 Subnets
1st Subnet will have 65th Bit 0 or 0000 which is equal to 0 in Hex
2nd Subnet will have 65th Bit 1 or 1000 in binary = 8 in Hex
1st Subnet is 2001:DB8:AAAA:0000:0000/65
