28 IPv6
IPv64 is a new version of IP which is designed to be an evolutionary step from IPv4. It can be
installed as a normal software upgrade in Internet devices and is interoperable with the current
IPv4. It has expanded routing and addressing capabilities because of the 128 bit addressing as
compared to the 32 bit addressing in IPv4. Its deployment strategy is designed to not have any
flag days or other dependencies. IPv6 is designed to run well on high performance networks (e.g.
Gigabit Ethernet, OC-12, ATM, etc.) and at the same time still be efficient for low bandwidth
networks (e.g. wireless). In addition, it provides a platform for new Internet functionality that will
be required in the near future.
IPv6 includes a transition mechanism, which is designed to allow users to adopt and deploy IPv6
in a highly diffuse fashion and to provide direct interoperability between IPv4 and IPv6 hosts. The
IPv6 transition allows the users to upgrade their hosts to IPv6, and the network operators to
deploy IPv6 in routers, with very little coordination between the two.
The changes from IPv4 to IPv6 fall primarily into the following categories
Expanded Routing and Addressing Capabilities
Usage of anycast address
Header Format Simplification
Improved Support for Options
Quality-of-Service Capabilities
Authentication and Privacy Capabilities
The list of CLI commands for the configuration of IPv6 is as follows:
ipv6 enable
ipv6 unicast-routing
ipv6 - address
ipv6 - link local address
ipv6 - static routes
ipv6 - neighbor
ipv6 nd suppress-ra
ipv6 nd managed-config flag
