NET-330 Lab 12-1 IPv6 PT Lab — Full Setup Guide

Goal: enable IPv6 connectivity between Champlain Host and Middlebury Host through VTEL using RIPng.


Topology and Prefixes

  • Champlain LAN prefix: 2620:E4:C000::/64
  • Middlebury LAN prefix: 2001:1890:139D::/64
  • VTEL transit prefix: 1800:2200:185::/64

Routers and links:

  • CC-R Fa0/1 → Champlain switch → Champlain Host
  • CC-R Fa0/0 ↔ VTEL-R Fa0/0
  • MC-R Fa0/0 ↔ VTEL-R Fa0/1
  • MC-R Fa0/1 → Middlebury SW → Middlebury Host

All router interfaces are FastEthernet.


1) CC-R configuration

Enter config mode and paste these lines exactly in one go:

enable
configure terminal
hostname CC-R
ipv6 unicast-routing
interface FastEthernet0/1
 description Champlain LAN
 ipv6 address 2620:E4:C000::1/64
 ipv6 rip NET330 enable
 no shutdown
exit
interface FastEthernet0/0
 description Link to VTEL
 ipv6 address autoconfig
 ipv6 rip NET330 enable
 no shutdown
exit
end
write memory

2) VTEL-R configuration

enable
configure terminal
hostname VTEL-R
ipv6 unicast-routing
interface FastEthernet0/0
 description Link to CC-R
 ipv6 address 1800:2200:185::1/64 eui-64
 ipv6 rip NET330 enable
 no shutdown
exit
interface FastEthernet0/1
 description Link to MC-R
 ipv6 address 1800:2200:185::2/64 eui-64
 ipv6 rip NET330 enable
 no shutdown
exit
end
write memory

Note: Packet Tracer will generate EUI-64 interface IDs automatically from the NIC MAC. Anything inside 1800:2200:185: is fine as long as both links are in the same /64 and interfaces are up.


3) MC-R configuration

enable
configure terminal
hostname MC-R
ipv6 unicast-routing
interface FastEthernet0/1
 description Middlebury LAN
 ipv6 address 2001:1890:139D::1/64
 ipv6 rip NET330 enable
 no shutdown
exit
interface FastEthernet0/0
 description Link to VTEL
 ipv6 address autoconfig
 ipv6 rip NET330 enable
 no shutdown
exit
end
write memory

4) Host configuration (SLAAC)

On both PCs:

  • Desktop → IP Configuration → IPv6 Configuration: Automatic
  • Do not set IPv4 fields
  • You should see:
    • Champlain Host IPv6 address that starts with 2620:E4:C000::
    • Middlebury Host IPv6 address that starts with 2001:1890:139D::
  • Default gateway fields will populate from the router RA

Your example outcomes that worked:

  • Champlain Host IPv6: 2620:E4:C000:0:200:CFF:FE92:1DCD
  • Middlebury Host IPv6: 2001:1890:139D:0:202:17FF:FED9:E22B

5) Verification

Router interfaces up

On each router:

show ipv6 interface brief

You should see Fa0/0 and Fa0/1 in up/up with addresses in the expected prefixes.

RIPng routes present

On each router:

show ipv6 route

Look for:

  • R 2620:E4:C000::/64 learned on MC-R and VTEL-R
  • R 2001:1890:139D::/64 learned on CC-R and VTEL-R
  • C 1800:2200:185::/64 connected on VTEL-R and autoconfig addresses on CC-R and MC-R

End to end pings

From Champlain Host:

ping 2001:1890:139D:0:202:17FF:FED9:E22B

From Middlebury Host:

ping 2620:E4:C000:0:200:CFF:FE92:1DCD

You should receive replies in both directions.


6) Screenshots for submission

Take these on all three routers and include in your writeup:

  • show ipv6 route
  • show ipv6 interface brief

Also include:

  • Champlain Host successful ping to Middlebury Host
  • Middlebury Host successful ping to Champlain Host

Recommended placeholders:

  • images/ccr_show_ipv6_route.png
  • images/vtel_show_ipv6_route.png
  • images/mcr_show_ipv6_route.png
  • images/champlain_host_ping.png
  • images/middlebury_host_ping.png

7) Quick troubleshooting checklist

  • Interfaces are no shutdown

  • RIPng is enabled on every IPv6 interface that must advertise or learn routes:

    interface Fa0/0
     ipv6 rip NET330 enable
    interface Fa0/1
     ipv6 rip NET330 enable
    
  • Host IPv6 set to Automatic

  • Use show ipv6 route to confirm router R entries

  • If a host does not populate, toggle the PC NIC Off and On or flap the LAN interface:

    interface Fa0/1
     shutdown
     no shutdown
    
  • If VTEL does not autoconfig on CC-R or MC-R WAN, issue:

    clear ipv6 neighbors
    clear ipv6 interface Fa0/0
    

8) Command reference

  • Save config: write memory
  • Show routes: show ipv6 route
  • Show interfaces: show ipv6 interface brief
  • Ping IPv6 from router: ping ipv6 <address>
  • Ping IPv6 from PC: ping <address>

9) Notes

  • The exact EUI-64 host bits under 1800:2200:185::/64 can differ. Consistency and link-up status are what matter.
  • SLAAC provides addresses and default gateway to hosts. No DHCPv6 required for this lab.
