6to4 relay routers are specialized routers, accessible via the anycast IPv4 address 192.88.99.1, that facilitate IPv6 internet access by bridging IPv6 networks and the IPv6 internet over an IPv4 backbone using a 6to4 tunnel.
DetailsA 6to4 tunnel is a dynamic, multipoint IPv6-over-IPv4 tunneling mechanism used to connect multiple IPv6 sites over an IPv4 backbone. It operates using the 2002::/16 prefix but can also route global IPv6 prefixes. Although it is an older and deprecated technology, it provides valuable insights into the fundamentals of IPv6-over-IPv4 multipoint VPN tunneling. In this section, we will demonstrate a configuration example for a 6to4 tunnel.
DetailsIPv6 over IPv4 Point-to-Point Tunnels, such as IPv6IP and GRE are the most effective way to forward enterprise ipv6 traffic over ipv4 infrastructure where underlying network does not supports IPv6. These tunneling methods support dynamic routing protocols and are effective for enterprise networks, though they can face scalability issues.
DetailsIPv4 to IPv6 migration is the process of transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6 while ensuring coexistence and interoperability. Key strategies include dual-stack, which allows both IPv4 and IPv6 to operate simultaneously; tunneling, where IPv6 traffic is carried over IPv4 networks; and translation, enabling IPv6 devices to communicate with IPv4 services. These methods ensure gradual migration with minimal disruption.
DetailsAdvertising IPv6 routes over IPv4 based BGP session, and vice versa, is primarily used to support dual-stack (IPv4/IPv6) network environments. This method enables service providers and network administrators to ensure smooth communication between different IP versions without requiring a complete transition of the entire infrastructure.
DetailsOSPFv3 LSA Types provide the foundation for understanding key differences between OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. In this lesson, we’ll configure both protocols in a dual-stack topology, allowing us to observe practically how OSPFv3 LSAs differ from those in OSPFv2.
DetailsIPv6 EIGRP functions similarly to IPv4 EIGRP but operates independently. In this lesson, first we’ll start by configuring classic EIGRP separately for IPv4 and IPv6 on a sample dual-protocol topology. Then, we’ll explore name-based EIGRP, which allows both protocols to be managed within a unified configuration context, while still maintaining independent operation.
DetailsIPv6 static routing is a foundational method in which routes and route updates are manually configured. Compared to IPv4, IPv6 introduces some adjustments in both concepts and syntax, which will be discussed in this section
