Objectives
Part 1: Set Up Topology and Configure Basic Router and Switch Settings
Part 2: Configure IPv6 Addresses Manually
Part 3: Verify End-to-End Connectivity
Background / Scenario
In this lab, you will configure hosts and device interfaces with IPv6 addresses. You will issue show
commands to view IPv6 unicast addresses. You will also verify end-to-end connectivity using ping and
traceroute commands.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4
(universalk9 image). The switches used in the labs are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)
(lanbasek9 image). Other routers, switches, and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model
and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and the output produced might vary from what is shown in
the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of the lab for the correct interface identifiers.
Note: Make sure that the routers and switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you
are unsure, contact your instructor.
Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.
Note: The default 2960 Switch Database Manager (SDM) template does not support IPv6. It may be
necessary to issue the command sdm prefer dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 default to enable IPv6 addressing before
applying an IPv6 address to the VLAN 1 SVI.

Lab - Configure IPv6 Addresses on Network Devices
Note: The default bias template used by the Switch Database Manager (SDM) does not provide IPv6
address capabilities. Verify that SDM is using either the dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 template or the lanbase-routing
template. The new template will be used after reboot.
S1# show sdm prefer
Follow these steps to assign the dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 template as the default SDM template:
S1# configure terminal
S1(config)# sdm prefer dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 default
S1(config)# end
S1# reload
Required Resources
 1 Router (Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4 universal image or comparable)
 1 Switch (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)
 2 PCs (Windows with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)
 Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
 Ethernet cables as shown in the topology
Note: The Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on Cisco 4221 routers are autosensing and an Ethernet straight-
through cable may be used between the router and PC-B. If using another model Cisco router, it may be
necessary to use an Ethernet crossover cable.
Instructions
Part 1: Cable the Network and Configure Basic Router and Switch Settings
After cabling the network, initializing and reloading the router and switch, complete the following:
Step 1: Configure the router.

Assign the hostname and configure basic device settings.
Step 2: Configure the switch.

Assign the hostname and configure basic device settings.
Part 2: Configure IPv6 Addresses Manually

Step 1: Assign the IPv6 addresses to Ethernet interfaces on R1.
a. Assign the IPv6 global unicast addresses, listed in the Addressing Table, to both Ethernet interfaces on
R1.
Open configuration window
R1(config)# interface g0/0/0

R1(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:db8:acad:a::1/64
R1(config-if)# no shutdown
R1(config-if)# interface g0/0/1
R1(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:db8:acad:1::1/64
R1(config-if)# no shutdown
R1(config-if)# end
Instructor Note: The IPv6 global prefix 2001:db8::/32 is a reserved prefix for use in documentation, as
described in RFC 3849.
b. Verify that the correct IPv6 unicast address is assigned to each interface.
R1# show ipv6 interface brief
Em0/0 [administratively down/down]
unassigned
GigabitEthernet0/0/0 [up/up]
FE80::D68C:B5FF:FECE:A0C0
2001:DB8:ACAD:A::1
GigabitEthernet0/0/1 [up/up]
FE80::D68C:B5FF:FECE:A0C1
2001:DB8:ACAD:1::1
<output omitted>
Note: The link-local address (fe80::) displayed is based on EUI-64 addressing, which automatically uses
the interface Media Access Control (MAC) address to create a 128-bit IPv6 link-local address.
c. To get the link-local address to match the global unicast address on the interface, manually enter the link-
local addresses on each of the Ethernet interfaces on R1.
R1# config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
R1(config)# interface g0/0/0
R1(config-if)# ipv6 address fe80::1 link-local
R1(config-if)# interface g0/0/1
R1(config-if)# ipv6 address fe80::1 link-local
R1(config-if)# end
Note: Each router interface belongs to a separate network. Packets with a link-local address never leave
the local network; therefore, you can use the same link-local address on both interfaces.
d. Use a command of your choice to verify that the link-local address has been changed to fe80::1.
R1# show ipv6 interface g0/0/0
GigabitEthernet0/0/0 is up, line protocol is up
IPv6 is enabled, link-local address is FE80::1
No Virtual link-local address(es):
Global unicast address(es):
2001:DB8:ACAD:A::1, subnet is 2001:DB8:ACAD:A::/64
Joined group address(es):
FF02::1
FF02::1:FF00:1
MTU is 1500 bytes
<output omitted>
Close configuration window
Question:
Which two multicast groups have been assigned to interface G0/0/0?

Type your answers here.
The all-nodes multicast group (FF02::1) and the Solicited Nodes multicast group (ff02::1:ff00:1).
Step 2: Enable IPv6 routing on R1.

a. On a PC-B command prompt, enter the ipconfig command to examine IPv6 address information
assigned to the PC interface.
Question:
Has an IPv6 unicast address been assigned to the network interface card (NIC) on PC-B?
No
b. Enable IPv6 routing on R1 using the IPv6 unicast-routing command.

Open configuration window
R1 # configure terminal
R1(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
R1(config)# exit
c. Use a command to verify the new multicast group are assigned to interface G0/0/0. Notice that the all-
router multicast group (ff02::2) now appears for interface G0/0/0.
Note: This will allow the PCs to obtain their IP address and default gateway information automatically
using Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC).
R1# show ipv6 interface g0/0/0
GigabitEthernet0/0/0 is up, line protocol is up
IPv6 is enabled, link-local address is FE80::1
2001:DB8:ACAD:A::1, subnet is 2001:DB8:ACAD:A::/64 [EUI]
FF02::1
FF02::2
FF02::1:FF00:1
MTU is 1500 bytes
<partial output omitted>
Hosts use stateless autoconfig for addresses.
d. Now that R1 is part of the all-router multicast group FF02::2, re-issue the ipconfig command on PC-B
and examine the IPv6 address information.
Question:
Why did PC-B receive the Global Routing Prefix and Subnet ID that you configured on R1?
On R1 all IPv6 interfaces are now part of the All-router multicast group, FF02::2. This allows it to send
Router Advertisement (RA) messages with the Global Network Address and Subnet ID information to all
nodes on the LAN. Notice that R1 also sent the link-local address, fe80::1, as the Default Gateway. The
PCs will receive their IPv6 addresses and default gateway via SLAAC as long as the advertised prefix
length is 64 bits .
Step 3: Assign IPv6 addresses to the management interface (SVI) on S1.

a. Assign the IPv6 address for S1. Also assign a link-local address for this interface.
S1(config)# interface vlan 1
S1(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:db8:acad:1::b/64
S1(config-if)# ipv6 address fe80::b link-local
S1(config-if)# end
b. Use a command of your choice to verify that the IPv6 addresses are properly assigned to the
management interface.
S1# show ipv6 interface vlan1
Vlan1 is up, line protocol is up
IPv6 is enabled, link-local address is FE80::B
2001:DB8:ACAD:1::B, subnet is 2001:DB8:ACAD:1::/64
FF02::1
FF02::1:FF00:B
MTU is 1500 bytes
ICMP error messages limited to one every 100 milliseconds
ICMP redirects are enabled
ICMP unreachables are sent
Output features: Check hwidb
ND DAD is enabled, number of DAD attempts: 1
ND reachable time is 30000 milliseconds (using 30000)
ND NS retransmit interval is 1000 milliseconds
Close configuration window
Step 4: Assign static IPv6 addresses to the PCs.

a. Open the Ethernet Properties window on for each PC and assign IPv6 addressing.
b. Verify both PCs have the correct IPv6 address information. Each PC should have two Global IPv6
addresses: one static and one SLACC
Part 3: Verify End-to-End Connectivity

From PC-A, ping fe80::1. This is the link-local address assigned to G0/0/1 on R1.
Ping the S1 management interface from PC-A.
Use the tracert command on PC-A to verify that you have end-to-end connectivity to PC-B.
From PC-B, ping PC-A.
From PC-B, ping the link-local address for G0/0/0 on R1.
Note: If end-to-end connectivity is not established, troubleshoot your IPv6 address assignments to verify that
you entered the addresses correctly on all devices.
Reflection Questions
1. Why can the same link-local address, fe80::1, be assigned to both Ethernet interfaces on R1?
Link-local packets never leave the local network, so the same link-local address can be used on an interface
associated to a different local network.
2. What is the Subnet ID of the IPv6 unicast address 2001:db8:acad::aaaa:1234/64?
0 (zero) or 0000 (zeros). The fourth hextet is the Subnet ID of an IPv6 address with a prefix of /64. In the
example, the fourth hextet contains all zeros and the IPv6 Omitting All 0 Segment rule is using the double
colon to depict the Subnet ID and the first two hextets of the Interface ID. This is why the subnet of the Global
unicast address of 2001:acad::aaaa:1234/64 is 2001:db8:acad::/64

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many
interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router
class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device.
The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An example
of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be used in
Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
