Notes on IPv6

    Aggregatable Global Unitcast Address

    2000 - 3FFF: Original Routable Addresses

    Link-Local Unicast Addresses

    FE80: 1/1024th of all available for Link only, used to get Global Unicast Address via a Router or a DHCP.

    Site-Local Unicast Addresses

    FEC0: 1/1024th of all available IPv6 Space, its sort of Private IP Addressing Scheme. Deprecated.

    Multicast Addresses

    FFxx: Starts with FF, used for Multicasting.

    Multicast to all hosts

    FF02::1 essentially the same as 255.255.255.255

  1. The Broadcast has been removed, multicasting has taken its place.
  2. FrameRelay Inverse-Arp is not yet implemented, so Static Mapping should be used.
  3. ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery will ultimately replace IPv4 ARP.
  4. ICMPv6 Neighbor Solicitation

    Ask for Information about the neighbor

    ICMPv6 Neighbor Advertisement

    Advertise yourself to neighbor

    ICMPv6 Router Solicitation

    Ask for info about the Local Routers

    ICMPv6 Router Advertisement

    Advertise yourself as Local Router

  5. Ipv6 unicast-routing enables IPv6 on a Router. It enables ICMPv6 ND and Dynamic Routing Support.
  6. Debug ipv6 packet detail
  7. Debug ipv6 nd
  8. RIPng

    RFC 2080 Defines Ripng for IPv6

    UDP Port 521 is used instead of 520 with a Multicast Address of FF02::9

    Configuration:

    Interface Level : Ipv6 rip [process] enable

    OSPFv3

  9. Similar to OSPFv2
  10. Router-id is an IPv4 Address
  11. Configuration:
  12. Interface Level: ipv6 ospf [process id] area [area-id]
  13. Global Level: Automatically Enabled.
  14. Multicast Address is: FF02::5
  15. BGPv6

  16. Same process for IPv6 as of IPv4.
  17. Address-family configuration is used.
  18. Static Tunneling:

  19. GRE

    The Default Tunnel Mode

    IPv6 IP

    Running IPv4 to IPv6 Tunneling

  20. Automatic Tunnels:

  21. 6to4 Tunnels

    IPv6 Address to IPv4 Tunneling

    ISATAP

    Automatic Host to Host or Host to Router Tunneling
