Objectives

Part 1: Configure IPv6 Addressing on the Router

Part 2: Configure IPv6 Addressing on Servers

Part 3: Configure IPv6 Addressing on Clients

Part 4: Test and Verify Network Connectivity

Background

In this activity, you will practice configuring IPv6 addresses on a router, servers, and clients. You will also practice verifying your IPv6 addressing implementation.

Part 1: Configure IPv6 Addressing on the Router

Step 1: Enable the router to forward IPv6 packets.

1. Enter the ipv6 unicast-routing global configuration command. This command must be configured to enable the router to forward IPv6 packets. This command will be discussed in a later semester.
   • R1(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing

Step 2: Configure IPv6 addressing on GigabitEthernet0/0.

1. Click R1 and then the CLI tab. Press Enter.
2. Enter privileged EXEC mode.
3. Enter the commands necessary to transition to interface configuration mode for GigabitEthernet0/0.
4. Configure the IPv6 address with the following command:
   • R1(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:DB8:1:1::1/64
5. Configure the link-local IPv6 address with the following command:
   • R1(config-if)# ipv6 address FE80::1 link-local
6. Activate the interface.

Step 3: Configure IPv6 addressing on GigabitEthernet0/1.

1. Enter the commands necessary to transition to interface configuration mode for GigabitEthernet0/1.
2. Refer to the Addressing Table to obtain the correct IPv6 address.
3. Configure the IPv6 address, the link-local address and activate the interface.

Step 4: Configure IPv6 addressing on Serial0/0/0.

1. Enter the commands necessary to transition to interface configuration mode for Serial0/0/0.
2. Refer to the Addressing Table to obtain the correct IPv6 address.
3. Configure the IPv6 address, the link-local and activate the interface.

Part 2: Configure IPv6 Addressing on the Servers

Step 1: Configure IPv6 addressing on the Accounting Server.

1. Click Accounting and click the Desktop tab > IP Configuration.
2. Set the IPv6 Address to 2001:DB8:1:1::4 with a prefix of /64.
3. Set the IPv6 Gateway to the link-local address, FE80::1.

Step 2: Configure IPv6 addressing on the CAD Server.

Repeat Steps 1a to 1c for the CAD server. Refer to the Addressing Table for the IPv6 address.

Part 3: Configure IPv6 Addressing on the Clients

Step 1: Configure IPv6 addressing on the Sales and Billing Clients.

1. Click Billing and then select the Desktop tab followed by IP Configuration.
2. Set the IPv6 Address to 2001:DB8:1:1::3 with a prefix of /64.
3. Set the IPv6 Gateway to the link-local address, FE80::1.
4. Repeat Steps 1a through 1c for Sales. Refer to the Addressing Table for the IPv6 address.

Step 2: Configure IPv6 Addressing on the Engineering and Design Clients.

1. Click Engineering and then select the Desktop tab followed by IP Configuration.
2. Set the IPv6 Address to 2001:DB8:1:2::3 with a prefix of /64.
3. Set the IPv6 Gateway to the link-local address, FE80::1.
4. Repeat Steps 1a through 1c for Design. Refer to the Addressing Table for the IPv6 address.

Part 4: Test and Verify Network Connectivity

Step 1: Open the server web pages from the clients.

1. Click Sales and click the Desktop tab. Close the IP Configuration window, if necessary.
2. Click Web Browser. Enter 2001:DB8:1:1::4 in the URL box and click Go. The Accounting website should appear.
3. Enter 2001:DB8:1:2::4 in the URL box and click Go. The CAD website should appear.
4. Repeat steps 1a through 1d for the rest of the clients.

Step 2: Ping the ISP.

1. Open any client computer configuration window by clicking the icon.
2. Click the Desktop tab > Command Prompt.
3. Test connectivity to the ISP by entering the following command:
   • PC> ping 2001:DB8:1:A001::1
4. Repeat the ping command with other clients until full connectivity is verified.
