IPv6 Survival Kit Session Goals

Brief overview of IPv6 topics to build confidence in configuring IPv6

Explore ways in which IPv4 and IPv6 can coexist on devices

Use Packet Tracer to build, configure and troubleshoot a simple IPv6 network

Take away knowledge, tips and resources for effectively adding IPv6 content to Discovery 4 and Exploration 4

Provide your students with fun and interesting facts about this important protocol


A big “Thank you” to …

Visualizing the IPv6 Address Space

… and other fun stuff

Visualizing the IPv6 Address Space

Assign one IPv6 address per grain of sand

How many grains of sand would be needed to use all IPv6 addresses?

Fill Earth-sized containers with the sand

128 bit addresses2 128 is a very large number

Features Enhanced by IPv6

Address autoconfigurationPlug and Play networking with wide variety of devices

Connectivity to roaming mobile devices

Built-in Security – Security is easier

Better reliability through multihoming hosts

More efficient route aggregation

Simpler packet header

Many devices and apps already support IPv6

See Chapter 7 of Exploration, Accessing the WAN,Chapter 6 of Discovery, Designing and Supporting Computer Networks


IPv6 Address Format, Types and Scopes

Just what we need to know


IPv6 Address Format

128 bits separated into eight blocks of 16 bits, as hex:FC00:00D3:0000:2F00:02AA:00FF:FE28:9C5A

In each 16-bit block, leading zeros may be removed:FC00:00D3:0000:0000:02AA:00FF:FE28:9C5A

FC00:D3:0:0:2AA:FF:FE28:9C5A

Adjacent zeroes can be compressed (once):FC00:D3::2AA:FF:FE28:9C5A


Prefix Length, Allocation of Bits

Example: 2001:DB8:0:2F00:2AA:FF:FE28:9C5A/64

Prefix length (number of network bits) is 64

Same notation as CIDR in IPv4, no subnet masks

16 subnet bits, (/49 to /64) given to a site – 65,535 LANs!

Usually 64 bits are used for hosts in IPv6


Types of IPv6 Addresses

Unicast (one to one)

Also: Multicast (one to many) Loopback (0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1) Anycast (one to “nearest,” not widely used)

No broadcasts in IPv6


Unicast IPv6 Address Scopes Link-local addresses—only on single link, not routed

FE80 prefix

Unique-local addresses—routed within private networkFC00 prefix

Global unicast addresses—globally routable2001 prefix currently being issued

64 bit host portion


IPv6 Address Assignment

Often, it does the work for us


IPv6 Stateless Autoconfiguration

Host automatically configures its own link-local address

With link-local address, a host discovers connected routers to obtain a global prefix

A host then builds its own global unicast address

Static assignments are also possible


Stateless Autoconfiguration Process Uses MAC Address

00 90 27 FF FE 17 FC 0F

FF FE

00 90 27 17 FC 0F

00 90 27 17 FC 0F

000000U0 Where U=1 = Unique

0 = Not Unique

02 90 27 FF FE 17 FC 0F

U = 1

48 bit MAC Address

64 bits become part of IPv6 address


Router(config)#ipv6 unicast-routing

Router(config)#int fa0/1

Router(config-if)#ipv6 addr 2001:db8::/64 eui-64

Router(config-if)#ipv6 enable

Router(config-if)#no shut

Stateless AutoconfigurationOnly the network part of the address is suppliedin the ipv6 address command


Stateless AutoconfigurationRouter’s fa0/1 interface generates its link-local address and global unicast address

Router#sho ipv6 int briFastEthernet0/0 [administratively down/down]FastEthernet0/1 [up/up] FE80::201:42FF:FE44:3C02 2001:DB8::201:42FF:FE44:3C02


Good Practice in IPv6 Addressing

Hosts should have globally routable addresses created with stateless autoconfiguration

Use 2001 prefix

Use /64 eui-64 to create them

Serial links between routers should not use globally routable addresses

Use FC00 prefix and static addressing

Use a prefix length /64

However, the prefix length could also be, for example, /112


Good Practice in IPv6 AddressingStatic addresses between routersStateless autoconfiguration for hosts


Commands for Students to Compare


Commands for Students to Compare

show ip interface brief show ipv6 interface briefshow ip route show ipv6 routeshow ip protocols show ipv6 protocols


Ping Command for IPv6

Cisco routers, Packet Tracer routers and Packet Tracer PCs use ping

Windows XP uses ping6

Packet Tracer PCs and Windows XP uses ipv6config


ConfiguringIPv6 RIP

Differs slightly from RIP for IPv4


Global Commands

Router(config)#ipv6 unicast-routing (enable IPv6)

Router(config)#ipv6 router rip CIRCUS (define a routing process called CIRCUS)


Interface Commands- Auto Config

Router(config)#int fa0/0Router(config-if)#ipv6 enableRouter(config-if)#ipv6 addr

2001:db8:2:3::/64 eui-64Router(config-if)#ipv6 rip CIRCUS enableRouter(config-if)#no shut

The router is now configured with IPv6 RIP on fa0/0Repeat for other involved interfacesEnsure that the PCs are set for Auto Config in the Config Tab

The IPv4 network command is not used


IPv4 and IPv6 Co-existence

Configuring Dual Stack


Dual Stack Example

Dual stack means configuring IPv4 and IPv6 on router interfaces and PCs

No special router commands neededWorks on any router that supports IPv6

Main tasks:Configure IPv4 and IPv6 addresseson appropriate interfaces

Enable RIP and IPv6 RIP routing protocols (or OSPF and OSPFv3)

Note: The IPv4 and IPv6 routing tables are separate


PC0 is a Dual Stack Host

Ping from an IPv4 host to PC0

Destination


PC0 is a Dual Stack Host Ping from an IPv6 host to PC0

Destination
