Huawei Certification System

Huawei Certification follows the "platform + ecosystem" development strategy, which is a new collaborative
architecture of ICT infrastructure based on "Cloud-Pipe-Terminal". Huawei has set up a complete certification
system consisting of three categories: ICT infrastructure certification, platform and service certification, and ICT

vertical certification. It is the only certification system that covers all ICT technical fields in the industry. Huawei
offers three levels of certification: Huawei Certified ICT Associate (HCIA), Huawei Certified ICT Professional
(HCIP), and Huawei Certified ICT Expert (HCIE). Huawei Certification covers all ICT fields and adapts to the
industry trend of ICT convergence. With its leading talent development system and certification standards, it is
committed to fostering new ICT talent in the digital era, and building a sound ICT talent ecosystem.
Huawei Certified ICT Associate-Datacom (HCIA-Datacom) is designed for Huawei's frontline engineers and
anyone who want to understand Huawei's datacom products and technologies. The HCIA-Datacom certification
covers routing and switching principles, basic WLAN principles, network security basics, network management
and O&M basics, SDN and programmability and automation basics.
The Huawei certification system introduces the industry, fosters innovation, and imparts cutting-edge datacom
knowledge.

1 Interconnecting a Company and Its Branches

Using IPv6 Static Route

1.1 Background
The company Jan16 has three offices: Beijing headquarters, Guangzhou branch, and Shanghai
branch. The two branches are connected to the headquarters through routers. Routers R1, R2,
and R3 reside in Beijing headquarters, Shanghai branch, and Guangzhou branch respectively,
and IPv6 is enabled on the entire network. Static routes need to be configured so that all PCs
in the company can communicate with each other. Figure 1-1 shows the network topology.
The specific requirements are as follows:
1. Routers are connected through VPNs.
2. The headquarters and branches are connected using static routes.
3. The IP addresses and interfaces of PCs and routers are shown in the following topology
section.

1.2 Objectives
Upon completion of this task, you will be able to:
● Learn how to manually configure IPv6 address on the routers.
● Learn how to configure IPv6 static routes.
● Learn how to configure IPv6 address on the PCs.

1.3 Topology
Figure 1-1 Network topology

Beijing headquarters, Shanghai branch, and Guangzhou branch use network segments
2010::0/64, 2020::0/64, and 2030::0/64 respectively. The network segments between R1 and
R2, between R1 and R3, and between R2 and R3 are 2001::0/64, 2002::0/64, and 2003::0/64
respectively. Static routes need to be configured on the routers so that all PCs can
communicate with each other.
The IP address planning and interface planning can be referred in the appendix.

1.4 Implementation
1.4.1 Roadmap
1. Configure interfaces on the routers.
2. Configure static routes.
3. Configure an IP address for each PC.

1.4.2 Procedure

2 Configure link aggregation manually.

Enable IPv6 in the system view on the routers. Run the ipv6 enable command to enable IPv6
on GigabitEthernet 0/0/0 of R1.

# Configure R1.

#Configure R2.

#Configure R3.

3 Configure static routes.

On R1, configure a static route with the network segment where PC2 resides as the
destination network segment. That is, configure a static route with the destination IP address
2020:: and 64-bit mask. If R1 wants to send data to PC2, R1 first needs to send the data to its
next-hop router R2. Therefore, the next-hop IP address of the configured static route is the IP
address of the physical interface on the direct link between R2 and R1, namely, 2001::2.

#Configure a static route with the network segment where PC3 resides as the destination
network segment.

#Similarly, on R2, configure two static routes with the network segments where PC1 and PC3
respectively reside as the destination network segments.

#Similarly, on R3, configure two static routes with the network segments where PC1 and PC2
respectively reside as the destination network segments.

4 Configure IP addresses for PCs.

Configure the IP addresses of PCs referred by the appendix.

4.1 Verification

5 Check the interface configuration.

Run the display ipv6 interface brief command on the routers to check the configuration.

6 Test the interoperability of PCs.

Run the ping command to test the internal communication of each PC.
#Ping PC2 from PC1.
[C:\~]$ping 2020::10
Ping 2020::10: 32 data bytes, Press Ctrl_C to break
From 2020::10: bytes=32 seq=1 hop limit=253 time=16 ms
From 2020::10: bytes=32 seq=2 hop limit=253 time=16 ms
From 2020::10: bytes=32 seq=3 hop limit=253 time=31 ms
From 2020::10: bytes=32 seq=4 hop limit=253 time=16 ms
From 2020::10: bytes=32 seq=5 hop limit=253 time=15 ms
--- 2020::10 ping statistics ---
5 packet(s) transmitted
5 packet(s) received
0.00% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 15/18/31 ms

#Ping PC3 from PC1.

[C:\~]$ping 2030::10
Ping 2030::10: 32 data bytes, Press Ctrl_C to break
From 2030::10: bytes=32 seq=1 hop limit=253 time=15 ms
From 2030::10: bytes=32 seq=2 hop limit=253 time=16 ms
From 2030::10: bytes=32 seq=3 hop limit=253 time=31 ms
From 2030::10: bytes=32 seq=4 hop limit=253 time=16 ms
From 2030::10: bytes=32 seq=5 hop limit=253 time=31 ms
--- 2030::10 ping statistics ---
5 packet(s) transmitted
5 packet(s) received
0.00% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 15/21/31 ms

The command output shows that the PCs can communicate with each other.
