Assignment 8 1: IPv6 in Packet Tracer - Hsanokklis/2023-2024-Tech-journal GitHub Wiki

Objectives

Implement basic IPv6 configuration for 2 networks

Goals:

• Observe the use of Link-Local Addresses with IPv6
• Basic configuration of a router to support IPv6

Lab:

For this lab, you will watch a 2-part video to configure IPv6 for 2 networks in Packet Tracer. You will use a Packet Tracer Starter File and configure the network by following along with the steps in the videos.

1. Open up NET 215 Assignment 7-1 starter file in packet tracer and follow the steps in Video One and Video Two

Video One Step by Step

• Go to the router and open CLI
  • type in enable
  • type in conf t to get into global configuration mode
  • type ipv6 unicast-routing

Doing this enables IPv6 routing on the router. IPv6 is disabled by default so it must be enabled.

• Configure the router interfaces

g0/0

• type int g0/0
• type ipv6 address FE80::1 link-local
• type no shut

g0/1

• type int g0/1
• type ipv6 address FE80::1 link-local
• type no shut

The link-local addresses can be the same on both interfaces because its only being used locally so it does not need to distinguish between different networks.

Link local addresses are also only used on local networks, they are not routable

SUBMIT: Screenshot of PC1 command prompt successfully pinging the router on FE80::1

Video Two Step by Step

Setting up Global Unicast addresses, so that networks can communicate with one another

Make sure you add /64 for the address. This indicates that the first 64 bits of the address are for network purposes.

g 0/0

Address --> 2001:DB8:AAAA:A::1

g 0/1

Address --> 2001:DB8:AAAA:B::1

• Go to all the PCs and change the IPv6 configuration from static to automatic

SUBMIT

• Screenshot of PC1's auto-config IPV6 address on the 2001:DB8:AAAA:B network

• Screenshot of PC0's auto-config IPV6 address on the 2001:DB8:AAAA:A network

• Screenshot of PC1 successfully pinging PC0 using the 2001:DB8:AAAA:A Address
