Welcome to in our IPv6 Lab and in this lab we're going to step you through basic IPv6 Configuration, show you how to get them up and running, verify that they're working and then in the next section of the lab we'll actually turn on IPv6 Routing. It's the RIP Next Generation, show you how RIP puts it's information in the Routing Table and verify that it's all working from one end to the other. Now if I've included this lab as part of the work file for this course and honestly, this is perhaps the simplest lab that you'll see, simply because these routers have no configuration on them. I had to swap the 3600s out for a 3700 because the IOS that I had for the 3600 didn't support IPv6 oddly enough. But the IOS I had for the 3700 did so literally I dragged four routers onto the topology, connected them up with Fast Ethernet and Serial Links and I've done nothing else. These routers have absolutely no configuration on them so we're going to step through configuring them all and then we'll verify that they all work. Now you'll notice I have my three Subnet addresses here, the 2001:1, 2001:2 and 2001:3 addresses or Subnets on each of these three links. And I've got the last octet or the last quartet of the IP address, the IPv6 address on each of the respective links just as I would for an IPv4 address. So it's yet another way we're trying to ease you into IPv6 processing. So let's go over here to Router 1 and we'll set it up first. Now Router 1 just has a single Fast Ethernet Interface so we'll do Config T and the first command we have to type since this is an IPv6 Router, is we have to turn on IPv6 Routing. It's not on by default and so we have to turn it on by typing IPv6 Unicast Routing and that turns on Unicast Routing. Now you can configure IPv6 on this router, it just wouldn't actually route any packets and since this only has one connection anyway, probably didn't have to do it, but it's still a good habit to get into if you're studying IPv6 because I can't tell you the number of times I've played with IPv6, gotten it all labbed up and configured and why won't the packets go from one end to the other? Oh because I haven't turned on Routing for IPv6. It's routing IPv4 but you know, not IPv6. It's, it's, since it's so new and so few people use it, they figure you're going to have to turn it on by default, and let's not waste any CPU or memory on this piece of code we're probably not going to use in most situations. So now that we've configured IPv6 Unicast Routing, we'll just go into the interface, do Configure T, oh I'm already in Configure T. Do Interface Fast Ethernet 0 slash 0. We'll do IPv6 Address just like we would do IP Address. In this case we will give it the IPv6 Address 2001:1::1. So we'll do 2001:1::1 slash 64 and we'll do a No Shut on this interface. And IPv6 is configured on this router, congratulations we're done with the lab. No, not really. We've got a few other routers to set up as well. But now if we go out to the Privileged Exec Mode and we do Show IPv6 Interface Fast Ethernet 0 slash 0, we'll see that it's Up and Up, IPv6 is Enabled, there's the Local Link addresses. Remember that FE80 address that is based on the MAC address. Here is the Subnet address 2001:1::1, there's the Subnet, 2001:1:: slash 64. We've got some Group addresses over here and we'll cover those in more detail here in a little while but just so you know this is what it looks like when IPv6 is up. If we do Show IPv6 Route, we have the connected route and then we have the Link Local addresses that are right here. As well as the FF00 which are Multicast addresses. I'll go ahead and kind of spill the beans, they're used for Multicasting, for determining what other hosts are on the network and what other routers are on the network. So now that we've got R1 up and running let's do R2. Config T, Router IPv6, IPv6 Unicast Routing. We'll see R2 has F00 and Serial 00 so we'll do Interface Fast Ethernet 0 slash 0, IPv6 Address, I believe it's 2001:1::2. So 2001:1::2 slash 64. Do No Shut, Exit out and if we do Show IPv6 Interface Fast Ethernet 0 slash 0, we see that it's Up, Up. There's it's Link Local address, which went to the same the Group address and there is the Global Unicast address, 2001:1::2. There's the Subnet, it's the same Subnet as R1 so in theory we should be able to IPv6 Ping IPv6 2001:1::1 and look we can Ping the R1 from R2 over IPv6. You see it's just as easy as setting up IPv4 addresses, in fact it might be a little easier because you don't have to worry about, you know, the Subnet Mask 255.255 whatever and you don't have to worry about making sure that, well this slash 20 network, what is that in binary? And what is it in Hex? With this here, it's all Classless, it all uses the cede notations, slash 64 or slash 32 slash whatever you're going to have as your network prefix. So now we're half way through considering basic IPv6. We'll configure the rest of the lab in the next video.
