7.6.3 Exploring IPv6 Addressing On Routers

The document discusses configuring IPv6 addressing and static routes on routers. It shows how to assign IPv6 addresses to router interfaces, configure static routes between the routers, and verify connectivity. Specifically, it demonstrates turning on IPv6 unicast routing, adding IPv6 addresses to router interfaces, configuring static routes between the routers, and using ping and traceroute to verify end-to-end connectivity between hosts connected to each router.

Exploring IPv6 Addressing on Routers 0:00-0:40

We're going to get into some IPv6 with this demo. We're going to get in and
assign some IPv6 addresses to some interfaces, and then we're going to set up
some static routes to actually pass some traffic back and forth.

I've already gone ahead a little bit and cheated, I guess, if you want to look at it that
way, in--that I already have Router 2 and Router 3 set up. I have their serial
interfaces set up with IPv6, I have their hosts set up with IPv6, and I have some
static routes already put on there, so I can actually already pass trafficbetween
Routers 2 and 3. But we want to get in and configure Router 1--get him in the
ballgame here--so we can get in and see how to configure these interfaces.

View Router 2 Config 0:41-1:19


Let's take a look at Router 2, just real quick, and see what I have done so far. First,
I've turned on Unicast routing, and then I went in and set the IP addresses to each
interface. Here's our Fast Ethernet. Here's Serial0/0/0 and Serial0/0/1, and then
here's those static routes I was telling you about, right down here.

What we want to do is get on Router 1 and do this exact same thing. Obviously
we're going to use different address spaces, but we want to get on and set that so
we can pass that traffic host to host and hopefully ping from left to right, and right
to left, and up and down, and side to side, and every which way else.

View Router 1 Config 1:20-1:32


Let's jump over to Router 1. Let's do a 'show run' so you can seethat I don't have
anything configured other than the host name, and I think that's it. I have the BTY
configured.

Turn On IPv6 Unicast-Routing 1:33-1:58


What we want to do first is get into global configuration mode.We want to turn on
that 'ipv6 unicast-routing'. Now, get used to typing IPv6, because it will not accept
IP. When you type IP, itdefaults to version 4, and it's just not going to work. It took
me forever to get used to doing that, and when you start stepping through some
labs, if you don't do it, you're going to run into the same issues I had.

Add IPv6 Addresses 1:59-2:17


Let's get into the Fast Ethernet and start adding some IP addresses. So 'ipv6
address', and I just got some numbers in here that I don't know where I got them
from, honestly. I probably read them somewhere in a book. I read lots of books.

Configure the Serial Interfaces 2:18-2:48


Let's go to our serial interfaces, 'ipv6'. We're going to put this number on this guy
over here and 'no shut', and then over to the other interface. This is the 10 network,
and 'no shut'.

Review the Results 2:49-3:06


Let's take a look and see what we've done. I'm going to say 'do show run' from here,
and you can see we turn on unicastrouting, that's good, and we have our Fast
Ethernet configured now, right here. Also, my serial and our serial, and everybody
matches up.

Configure Static Routes 3:07-3:48


Now the only thing we're missing is some static routes.

What we ought to do is get into global configuration mode, and we want to use
'ipv6'--don't forget the v6 part--'route', and we want to route to the other LANs. So,
off of Router 2, this is its LAN address, /64, and then we want the exit interface. We
can actually get there either way because we have redundant links, but I'm going to
go the shortest way that we can, and then 'ipv6 route', and this is the 3 guy,
because he's off Router 3, and we can there out S0/0/0.

View the Static Routes in the Routing Table 3:49-4:09

Now, let's do a 'show ipv6 route'. Here we go. These little static routes that I just put
in with the Ss, these are connected and local routes. We don't have to worry about
those right now. It's not what we're concerned with in this demo. We're concerned
with these guys right here, on how to get there and make sure they're in our
routing table.

Using ping to Verify Connections 4:10-5:22


They are. So, what we want to do is let's do a ping, and we want to do a version
6 ping, so we can type, 'ping ipv6' and ourdestination, which is going to be--which
one do you want to do first? Let's do host number 2 off of Router 2, and let's see
if we can reach him over there. Hey, look there.
Now let's try to get the host off of Router 3. Awesome, awesome. We're all the way
around now. I'll tell you what. Let's go over to Router 2, and let's see if we can ping
all the way around with Router 2 as well. I'm not even going to jump in there. I'm
going to assume that everything is correct, so let's see if we can 'ping' the host off
of Router 3. I left off my 'ipv6'. Don't do that--as soon as you do that, it defaults to
version 4. And we're successful.

Now let's see if we can get to that host off of Router 1, and we have that pinging all
the way around. As you can see, we're pinging from this router to this host and
this host, and I was on this router, and I pinged all the way around as well.

Using traceroute 5:23-5:56


One other thing. Let's do a traceroute and see which way it's going. Let's go to
Router 1, to the routers, as well. We don't have a real big topology here, so it's not
going to show a whole lot, but we can still do a 'traceroute' with 'ipv6' (don't forget
the 'v6' part). We want to trace down to the LAN down off Router 2. Let's try to trace
that guy and see which way we go. As we expected,we jumped out our interface off
the 11.2, if you want to look at it that way, and then we ended up at the 2.2, which is
Router 2, where the host is sitting off of, right here.

Summary 5:57-6:06
That's setting up a static IP address with IPv6 and some staticroutes, and then we
went ahead and pinged and did some traceroutes to test and verify that we have it
all set up.
