IPv6 Address
Format and Types
of Addresses
More information is available in the referenced resources
What IPv6 Addresses Look Like
 128 bits are separated into eight blocks of 16 bits

 Each 16-bit block is represented in hex and delimited
with colons:
2001:00D3:0000:2F00:02AA:00FF:FE28:9C5A
 In each 16-bit block, leading zeros may be removed:

2001:00D3:0000:2F00:02AA:00FF:FE28:9C5A
2001:D3:0:2F00:2AA:FF:FE28:9C5A
Zero Compression (or Shortform)
 Consecutive 16-bit blocks of zeroes can be replaced

with a double-colon (::)
 FE80:0:0:0:2AA:FF:FE9A:4CA2 can be compressed to
FE80::2AA:FF:FE9A:4CA2
 The multicast address FF02:0:0:0:0:0:0:2 can be
compressed to FF02::2
 Zero compression can only be used once in a given
address
 Otherwise, you could not determine the number of 0
bits represented by each double-colon instance
Teaching Tip
If students have trouble seeing why only one double

colon is allowed, give them an example of what would
happen if you allowed it. The following two addresses
could both be shortened to the third address, so there
would be ambiguity
2001:0:0:0:355:0:0:7
2001:0:0:355:0:0:0:7
2001::355::7 NOT ALLOWED
IPv6 Address Prefix Length
 An address prefix is indicated by the prefix length

following a “/” at the end of the address.
 Example:
2001:DB8:0:2F00:2AA:FF:FE28:9C5A/64
 The prefix length (number of upper bits) is 64

 This means the lower 64 bits are used for hosts
 It is used the same way as CIDR in IPv4
 Subnet masks are not used in IPv6
Teaching Tips
Why emphasize hexadecimal and hex-to-binary conversion?
 To remove the mystery from numbers like B and D3A
 To see why 32 hex digits represents 128 binary bits
 To understand where the network and host portion are,
using a classless designation, “/”
 To understand how stateless autoconfiguration is done
Fortunately, hex-to-binary conversion is easy
Consider having students memorize the binary equivalent

of the 16 hex digits
Fun Teaching Facts
 The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) will
allocate from 2001::/16 for the time being
http://www.zytrax.com/tech/protocols/ipv6.html#global
 Addresses within 2001:db8::/32 are non-routable and

should be used in examples given in documentation for
networking scenarios or tutorials
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6
 Windows 7 Server, when it is released, will have

powerful VPN capabilities. IPv6 needs to be deployed

Types of IPv6 Addresses
Unicast addresses will be used in this session
See additional resources for other definitions
 Unicast (one to one)

 Multicast (one to many)
 Anycast (one to “nearest,” according to a metric)
 No broadcasts in IPv6
See a description of address types
Unicast IPv6 Addresses
Differentiated by their scope, as follows:
 Link-local addresses—only on single link, not routed
FE80 prefix
 Unique-local addresses—routed only within private

network
FC00 prefix
 Global unicast addresses—globally routable

2001 prefix currently being issued
Global addresses use a 64 bit host portion
IPv6 Address
Assignment
IPv6 Address Assignment
Addresses can be assigned in these ways
 Manually (static)
 Stateless auto-configuration
 IPv6 dhcp (Stateful autoconfiguration)
 Link-local addresses are configured automatically
No arp in IPv6. It is replaced by Neighbor Discovery (ND)
IPv6 Stateless Autoconfiguration
1. Host automatically configures its own link-local

address
2. With link-local address, a host discovers
connected routers to obtain a global prefix
3. A host then builds its own global unicast address
See the provided Activity:

Build an IPv6 EUI-64 address.doc
Stateless Autoconfiguration
DHCPv6 is not required
Only the network part of the address is supplied
in the ipv6 address command
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
Because 2001:db8:: ends with “::”, it is not an address.

The rest of the address is supplied by the eui-64 process.
eui stands for “extended unique identifier”
Router’s fa0/1 interface generates its link-local
address and global unicast address
Router#sho ipv6 int bri

FastEthernet0/0 [administratively down/down]
FastEthernet0/1 [up/up]
FE80::201:42FF:FE44:3C02
2001:DB8::201:42FF:FE44:3C02
Packet Tracer PCs support this
On PC’s Config tab, go to Global Settings and select
Auto Config button to acquire Gateway address.
Note: It is the link-local address of the router’s fa0/1
(It begins with FE80)
Packet Tracer PC
Select FastEthernet to check if it is set to Auto Config, and
has its link-local address and an EUI address.
Packet Tracer PC line command to obtain both interface

and default gateway addresses:
PC> ipv6config autoconfig

show ip protocols show ipv6 protocols
Differences in RIP and IPv6 RIP (RIPng)

(see example in this presentation)
Differences in OSPF and IPv6 OSPF (OSPFv3)

(see example in this presentation)
Ping Command for IPv6
 In Cisco routers, it is ping

 In Packet Tracer routers, it is ping
 In Packet Tracer PCs, it is ping
 In Windows XP, it is ping6
Note:
• With PT PCs, if you type an IPv6 address incorrectly, for
example with a semicolon, ping will become unresponsive
• Windows XP will report “Host not found”

Packet Tracer ipv6config Command
Used in Packet Tracer PCs. Similar to ipconfig
In Windows XP:
C:\ ipv6 install install the protocol stack
C:\ ipconfig display IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
Demo: IPv6 RIP
(RIPng)
RIPng (“Next Generation”) is a name used to describe IPv6 RIP
Connectivity Using IPv6 RIP
Static addresses are used between routers.
Stateless autoconfiguration is used for hosts.
Global Commands
Configure IPv6 RIP on each router
ipv6 unicast-routing
(enable IPv6)
ipv6 router rip CIRCUS
(define a process called CIRCUS)
Note: The global command

ipv6 router rip CIRCUS
will be automatically configured by the router when
IPv6 RIP is configured on an interface (next slide)
Interface Commands- Static Address
Configure interconnecting interfaces on the two routers
(example, on fa0/0 of Router1)
ipv6 enable
ipv6 addr FC00:2::1/112
ipv6 rip CIRCUS enable
no shut
Note: The IPv4 RIP global network command is not used

with IPv6 RIP
Interface Commands- Auto Config
Configure the router LAN interfaces and the PCs with Auto
Config (example, on fa0/1 of Router1)
ipv6 enable
ipv6 addr FC00:3::/64 eui-64
ipv6 rip CIRCUS enable
no shut
Note: Ensure that the PCs are set for Auto Config in the
Config Tab
Note: The process name CIRCUS is user-defined and is
local to the router. You can use a different process name
on a neighboring router
Ping from PC1 to PC0
Note: The colon, “:” following the address is merely part

of the ping output
Demo or Lab:
IPv6 OSPF
(OSPFv3)
Packet Tracer files and labs are included with the conference
materials

Use static addressing
R1(config)# interface serial0/0/0

R1(config-if)# ipv6 address FC00::12:1/112
R1(config-if)# clockrate 64000
R1(config-if)# no shutdown
Note: The ipv6 enable command is unnecessary if

you configure an address on an interface
Configure EUI addresses
Configure the router FastEthernet interfaces
R2(config)# interface fastethernet0/0

R2(config-if)# ipv6 address FC00:23::/64 eui-64

Communicating
Between IPv4
and IPv6
One example of several technologies
Communicating Between Protocols
Students will ask “Can you communicate between
IPv4 and IPv6 networks?”
 Dual Stack (dual OSI stack)

“Dual stack where you can; tunnel where you must.” 1
 Tunneling
See CCNP- BSI, Labs 8.2 and 8.3
Note: PT Routers do not have the tunnel command
 Address Translation
Address translation may not become widely used1

http://www.networkworld.com/news/tech/2007/090507-tech-uodate.html
Dual Stack Example
 Dual stack means configuring IPv4 and IPv6 on at least

one router interface
 No special router commands needed
Works on any router that supports IPv6
 Main tasks:
Configure IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses
on appropriate interfaces
Enable RIP and IPv6 RIP routing protocols (or OSPF and OSPFv3)
Note: The routing tables are separate
Dual Stack
Example
IPv4 host can ping
IPv4 host
IPv6 host can ping

 Use the Cisco Learning Network (go to)
 Find CCNP Exam Topics (login required). IPv6 topics are:
 BSCI Exam:
Describe IPv6 addressing operations
Describe IPv6 interoperation with IPv4
Describe, configure or verify OSPF routing with IPv6 addressing
 BCMSN Exam: None explicitly listed

 ISCW Exam: None explicitly listed
 ONT Exam: None explicitly listed
How can I keep all the IPv6 addressing
rules straight?
 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
More about Stateless Autoconfiguration:
eui-64 process
 Cisco uses the EUI-64 process to perform
stateless auto-configuration
 EUI stands for “extended unique identifier”
 This process expands the 48 bit MAC address to 64 bits
by inserting FFFE (16 bits)
 If the chosen address is from a unique Ethernet MAC
address, the universal / local (“u” bit) is set to 1 for global
scope
 Other interfaces, such as serial (no MAC address), use a
different method to build the address and have the u bit
set to 0 for local scope
See http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2374.txt and http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2373.html

64 bits become part 02 90 27 FF FE 17 FC 0F
of IPv6 address
What is subnetting like in IPv6?
A similar concept, but many bits available
 Sixteen subnet bits, from /49 to /64 are given to a
site
 With the 16 subnet bits, a company can have
65,535 LANs
Does BGP Support IPv6?
 The current version of BGP is BGP4

 BGP4 does support IPv6
 See http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-ipv6-01
Teaching Tips
 Routers will accept more than one IPv6 address on an

interface. An error is generated only if a network overlaps
with another one on the router
 Students may make typos and enter an erroneous
address, then forget to remove it
 Ask students to use the show ipv6 interface brief
command frequently to check for this
 Unless you need IPv4 configured on an interface, use
only IPv6 in your initial examples so students clearly see
what protocol is allowing traffic to move
What IOS do I need to run IPv6?
 You need 12.0(21)T, or later, or 12.2(2)T or later
 Not all functionality is included in these releases
Example: 12.3(2)T does not support IPv6 DHCP
 To find out when a command was introduced, see the

Cisco IOS IPv6 Command Reference (go to). Locate the
command. The listing will show when it was introduced
 Also see Cisco IOS Software Release Specifics for IPv6
Features (go to)
 The Packet Tracer 2620XM router does not support IPv6
unless you upgrade the IOS image

How well does Packet Tracer 5.1 Handle
IPv6?
A few issues
If you discover one, please report it
Packet Tracer Issues

 When creating a new network, if IPv6 RIP routing
does not work, save the file, close and open PT
 Static IPv6 assignments may not work reliably with
hosts. They may be lost when PT file is re-opened.
Use stateless autoconfiguration for all router
interfaces to hosts
Tunneling Conceptual Diagram
Islands of IPv6 can communicate through the
more common IPv4 cloud
Tunneling Conceptual Diagram
IPv6 packet can be encapsulated in an IPv4 packet
IPv4 / IPv6 Translation
IPv4 IP and ICMP IPv6

Network Translator Network
 Translates packet headers from IPv6 to IPv4 (or

vice versa)
 Translates the addresses in the headers from IPv6
to IPv4 (or vice versa)
 Implementation is more complex than this
 See, for example,
http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/08nov/slides/behave-5.pdf

If students have trouble seeing why only one double

 An address prefix is indicated by the prefix length

 The prefix length (number of upper bits) is 64

Fortunately, hex-to-binary conversion is easy

Consider having students memorize the binary equivalent

 Addresses within 2001:db8::/32 are non-routable and

 Windows 7 Server, when it is released, will have

 Unicast (one to one)

See a description of address types

 Unique-local addresses—routed only within private

 Global unicast addresses—globally routable

1. Host automatically configures its own link-local

See the provided Activity:

Because 2001:db8:: ends with “::”, it is not an address.

Differences in RIP and IPv6 RIP (RIPng)

Differences in OSPF and IPv6 OSPF (OSPFv3)

 In Cisco routers, it is ping

• Windows XP will report “Host not found”

RIPng (“Next Generation”) is a name used to describe IPv6 RIP

Note: The global command

Note: The IPv4 RIP global network command is not used

Note: The colon, “:” following the address is merely part

R1(config)# interface loopback0

Note: Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are needed on the

R1(config)# interface serial0/0/0

Note: The ipv6 enable command is unnecessary if

R2(config)# interface fastethernet0/0

Note: Stateless Autoconfiguration works between

You can look at packet details with Packet Tracer

 v6 Echo Request (ping)- 128

Let’s fix it!

Uses IPv6 RIP

What do you think we should do

A. sho ipv6 protocol on Routers 1 and 2

A. sho run on Routers 1 and 2

Which of these is the problem?

A. Missing RIP enable command on an interface

Let’s fix this one, too!
