Chapter 43 Configuring IPv6 Unicast Routing
Understanding IPv6
reachability is unknown or suspect. For reachable or probably reachable routers, NDP can either select
the same router every time or cycle through the router list. By using DRP, you can configure an IPv6 host
to prefer one router over another, provided both are reachable or probably reachable.
For more information about DRP for IPv6, see the “Implementing IPv6 Addresses and Basic
Conn
ectivity” chapter in the Cisco IOS IPv6 Configuration Library on Cisco.com.
IPv6 Stateless Autoconfiguration and Duplicate Address Detection
The switch uses stateless autoconfiguration to manage link, subnet, and site addressing changes, such as
management of host and mobile IP addresses. A host autonomously configures its own link-local
address, and booting nodes send router solicitations to request router advertisements for configuring
interfaces.
For more information about autoconfiguration and duplicate address detection, see the “Imple
menting
IPv6 Addressing and Basic Connectivity” chapter of Cisco IOS IPv6 Configuration Library on
Cisco.com.
IPv6 Applications
The switch has IPv6 support for these applications:
• Ping, traceroute, Telnet, TFTP, and FTP
• Secure Shell (SSH) over an IPv6 transport
• HTTP server access over IPv6 transport
• DNS resolver for AAAA over IPv4 transport
• Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) support for IPv6 addresses
For more information about managing these applications, see
the “Managing Cisco IOS Applications
over IPv6” chapter and the “Implementing IPv6 Addressing and Basic Connectivity” chapter in the
Cisco IOS IPv6 Configuration Library on Cisco.com.
Dual IPv4 and IPv6 Protocol Stacks
You must use the dual IPv4 and IPv6 template to allocate hardware memory usage to both IPv4 and IPv6
protocols.
Figure 43-1
shows a router forwarding both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic through the same interface, based on
the IP packet and destination addresses.
