Why use IPv6?
Organizations should consider using IPv6

because of:
• The exponential growth of the Internet and the
impending exhaustion of the IPv4 address space
• The growth of the Internet and the ability of Internet
backbone routers to maintain large routing tables
• The need for simpler configuration
• The requirement for security at the IP layer
• The need for better support for real-time delivery of data
(also known as Quality of Service)

IPv6 supports three types of addresses:

• Unicast
• Multicast
• Anycast
The following are types of unicast IPv6 addresses:

• Global unicast addresses
• Unique local addresses
• Link-local addresses
• Site-local addresses:
• Formerly deprecated in RFC 3879
• Superseded by unique local addresses
• Special addresses
• Compatibility or transition addresses
Global unicast addresses:

• Are routable on the IPv6 Internet
• Allocate 16 bits for internal subnetting
• Begin with 2 or 3 (2000::/3)

Link-local addresses:
• Are automatically generated on all IPv6 hosts
• Are similar to IPv4 APIPA addresses
• Are sometimes used in place of broadcast messages
• Include a zone ID that identifies the interface

• Demonstration: Configuring DHCP for IPv6
Tools for configuring IPv6
In advanced networking scenarios, you can

configure IPv6 using any of the following
methods:
• Basic IPv6 settings through the properties of the
TCP/IPv6 component
• Windows PowerShell cmdlets
• Netsh command-line utility
Demonstration: Configuring IPv6
In this demonstration, you will learn how to:

• View the IPv6 configuration by using Ipconfig
and the Get-NetIPAddress cmdlet
• Configure IPv6 on a domain controller and a
server
• Verify that the IPv6 communication is functional
Using DHCPv6
DHCP for IPv6 in Windows Server 2016

• Supports IPv6 by default
• You can configure DHCP by creating and configuring IPv6
scopes and options
DNS for IPv6 in Windows Server 2016
• Supports IPv6 by default
• Computers or DHCP can register AAAA records in DNS
• You can manually create AAAA records in DNS
• You need to create and configure reverse lookup zones
for IPv4 and IPv6
Demonstration: Configuring DHCP for IPv6
In this demonstration, you will learn how to:

• Create an IPv6 scope in DHCP
• Configure an IPv6 host (AAAA) resource record
for an IPv6 address
• Verify name resolution for an IPv6 host (AAAA)
resource record

Options for IPv4 and IPv6 coexistence
• Windows Server 2016 uses a dual IP layer

architecture that supports IPv4 and IPv6 in a
single protocol stack
• DNS records required for coexistence:
• Host (A) resource records for IPv4 nodes
• IPv6 host (AAAA) resource records
• Reverse lookup pointer resource records for IPv4 and
IPv6 nodes
Considerations for planning a native IPv6 environment
When planning for a native IPv6 environment,

organizations should consider the support for:
• Operating system
• Routers and firewalls
• Network devices
• Application products
• Custom applications

What is ISATAP?
• Allows IPv6 communication over an IPv4 intranet
• Can be enabled by configuring an ISATAP host record
• Connects all nodes to a single IPv6 network
• Uses the IPv4 address as part of the IPv6 address:
• Private address: FD00::0:5EFE:192.168.137.133
• Public address: 2001:db8::200:5EFE:131.107.137.133

What is ISATAP?
You can configure ISATAP by:

• Configuring an ISATAP host record in DNS
• Configuring a hosts file
• Using the Windows PowerShell cmdlet
Set‑NetIsatapConfiguration ‑Router x.x.x.x
• Using the command Netsh Interface IPv6
ISATAP Set Router x.x.x.x
• Configuring the ISATAP Router Name Group
Policy setting
What is 6to4?
• Provides IPv6 connectivity over the IPv4 Internet

• Works between sites or from host to site
• Is not suitable for scenarios using NAT
• Uses the following network address format:
2002:WWXX:YYZZ:Subnet_ID::/64
To enable a 6to4 6to4 router

IPv6/IPv4
router:
• Enable ICS IPv6/IPv4
• Use Windows IPv4 Internet

cmdlets IPv6/IPv4
• Use Netsh
command IPv6/IPv4
What is Teredo?
Teredo:
• Enables IPv6 connectivity over the
IPv4 Internet through NAT Teredo
• Requires a Teredo server to initiate server
communication
• Can be configured with the cmdlet
Set-NetTeredoConfiguration

Teredo address structure:
• 2001::/32 (32 bits) IPv4 Internet
• Teredo server IPv4 address (32 bits)
• Options (16 bits)

What is PortProxy?
Use PortProxy to:

• Provide IPv6-only hosts with access to IPv4-only
applications
• Provide access between IPv4-only and IPv6-only hosts
Limitations of PortProxy:
• Only TCP applications
• Cannot change embedded address information
Process for transitioning to IPv6-only networks
To transition from IPv4 to IPv6, you must:

• Update applications to support IPv6
• Update routing infrastructure to support IPv6
• Update devices to support IPv6
• Update DNS with records for IPv6
• Upgrade hosts to IPv4/IPv6 nodes

Lab Scenario
Several key applications that A. Datum Corporation uses have recently
implemented IPv6 support. As a result, IT management at A. Datum is
considering implementing IPv6 on its internal network. To test various
IPv6/IPv4 integration strategies, A. Datum has implemented a test network
environment between the three main company locations. You need to
configure and test the network connectivity by using various integration
technologies.
