Exercise 1 - Understand IPv6 Link Local Address


Internet Protocol version 6 or IPv6 is the new network protocol that will replace Internet
Protocol version or IPv4. In terms of scalability, IPv6 supports an expanded address
space that can accommodate billions of devices to connect to the Internet.

An IPv6 address has 128 bits available to identify a device/node whereas IPv4 has 32
bits available. IPv4 uses a dotted decimal system for example: 192.168.100.10.

IPv6 address is split into eight 16 bit blocks, where each block is represented by 4
hexadecimal digits separated by a colon for
example: 2001:0000:0000:bf66:daf5:f992:38fe:f927. The block of zeroes can be
omitted to simplify the IPv6 address into 2001:0:0:bf66:daf5:f992:38f3:f927. This
address can be simplified further by rewriting it as 2001::bf66:daf5:f992:38f3:f927,
the two colons represent the blocks of zeroes that were omitted. Only one block of zeroes
can be replaced by the :: the double colon, because IPv6 will be unable to reconstruct
the address.

The three types of IPv6 address that can be assigned to a network node are unicast,
multicast and anycast.

A unicast address identifies a single interface on a node.


A multicast address is the same as IPv4 multicast address and can be shared by
several interfaces on several nodes.
An anycast address is an address assigned to a set of interfaces that belong to
different nodes.

To get a better understanding of this technology, please refer to your course material or
use your preferred search engine to research this topic in more detail.

Task 2 - Verify IPv6 Addresses on Windows Workstations

Unicast addresses are assigned to devices that support IPv6 protocol. The types of IPv6
unicast addresses are as follows:

Global address that begins with a prefix 001. This is similar to IPv4 public
address.
Site-local address is limited to network communication on an organization or site
level. This IPv6 address type is prefixed with FEC, FED, FEE or FEF.
Link-local address is an automatically generated IPv6 address similar to IPv4s
169.254.0.x address. This IPv6 address type is prefixed with FE80. This address
is used only for IPv6 devices on the same network link or segment.

Windows 7 and 8.1 are IPv6 ready upon installation. To find the IP6 addresses being
used by the Windows devices, follow these steps:

Step 1

Exercise 2 - Configure the Network to Use an ISATAP


Router
Intra-site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol or ISATAP is a bridge-over technology
that enables IPv4-only networks and devices to communicate with the more evolved
IPv6-only counterparts. In this context, an ISATAP router is an essential element of any
network that can be utilized to communicate with the more advanced IPv6 networks or
devices; or is to be itself upgraded from the current IPv4 support to IPv6 support.
ISATAP is a built-in feature for Windows Vista and later, and Windows Server 2008 and
later versions.

You configure a Windows Server 2008 R2 host to operate as an ISATAP router. The
configuration enables the host to send out messages offering ISATAP addressing and
routing information to the ISATAP-enabled devices. This configuration uses CLI
commands as, currently, no GUI is available to configure these hosts.

To better understand this technology, refer also to your course material or use your
preferred search engine to research this topic in detail.

In this exercise, you will configure one of the hosts on the network to operate as an
ISATAP router.

server to access the ISATAP router. In this task, you will enable PLABDM01 to connect
to the ISATAP router PLABSA01.

To enable ISATAP on an IPv4-only domain server, perform the following steps:

Step 1
Switch to PLABDM01.

Launch the Windows PowerShell window and type the following commands one-by-
one. Press Enter at the end of each command.

cd\
netsh interface isatap set router 192.168.0.4

From the results displayed, notice that:

1) The alpha-numeric values of the isatap. {interface_index} for the Tunnel adapter
on this server is the same as was noted on PLABSA01 - an ISATAP router. This
confirms that the ISATAP router is providing the addressing information to the ISATAP-
enabled server.

2) The IPv6 address for PLABDM01 is from the global


series 2001:db8:0:10:0:5efe and is associated with the IPv4 address 192.168.0.2

Therefore, the ISATAP router - PLABSA01 - is providing the required addressing and
routing information to the IPv4-only PLABDM01.
