Lesson Summary

n IPv4 is responsible for ensuring that a packet sent across an IPv4 network reaches its

destination DHCP automatically configures computers on a network with their IPv4

configurations DNS resolves a host name or FQDN to an IP address

n An IPv4 address identifies a computer (or other network device) on a subnet A subnet

mask defines the range of IP addresses on a subnet

n A wired small network that contains more than one computer typically implements

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) configuration through ICS

Computers and other devices on a wireless or hybrid small network obtain their

configurations from the WAP

n You use the Network And Sharing Center to view computers and devices on a network,

connect to a network, set up a connection or network, and manage network connections

You can also use the Netsh interface ipv4 command to manage IPv4 networks

n You can access the Windows Network Diagnostics tool from the Network And Sharing

Center to troubleshoot a faulty network connection If you fail to connect to a Web

site, you can access the same tool by clicking Diagnose Connection Problems

n You can use the Ping, Tracert, and Pathping commands to troubleshoot network

connectivity The Netstat command returns network protocol statistics

3 You are configuring static IPv4 addresses for two computers, Perth and Brisbane, on an isolated private wired subnet You configure Perth with the IPv4 address 172 16 10 140 and the subnet mask 255 255 255 0 You configure Brisbane with the IPv4 address

172 16 10 210 and the subnet mask 255 255 255 0 You enter ping 172.16.10.140 on Brisbane, but the command times out Similarly, entering ping 172.16.0.210 on Perth fails

to locate the Brisbane computer’s IPv4 address What is the likely reason for this lack of connectivity?

a DNS service is not available on the subnet

B The computers should have different subnet masks

Lesson 2: Configuring Ipv6

As a network professional, you have likely worked with IPv4 You might be less familiar with the IPv6 infrastructure and the types of IPv6 address As IPv6 usage increases, you need to be aware of IPv4-to-IPv6 transition strategy and IPv4 and IPv6 interoperability, particularly the

use of Teredo addresses This lesson looks at how you configure name resolution for unicast

and multicast addresses and how you configure a network connection and connect network locations It discusses how you resolve connectivity issues

After this lesson, you will be able to:

n Identify the various types of IPv6 addresses and explain their use

n Describe the advantages of IPv6 and how these are achieved

n Identify IPv6 addresses that can be routed on the IPv4 Internet

n Implement IPv4 and IPv6 interoperability

n Troubleshoot IPv6 connectivity

Estimated lesson time: 55 minutes

Analyzing the IPv6 Address Structure

IPv4 and IPv6 addresses can be readily distinguished An IPv4 address uses 32 bits, resulting

in an address space of just over 4 billion An IPv6 address uses 128 bits, resulting in an address space of 2128, or 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456—a number too large to comprehend This represents 6 5*223 or 54,525,952 addresses for every square meter of the earth’s surface In practice, the IPv6 address space allows for multiple levels of subnetting and address allocation between the Internet backbone and individual subnets within an organization The vastly increased address space available allows us to allocate not one but several unique IPv6 addresses to a network entity, with each address being used for

a different purpose

IPv6 provides addresses that are equivalent to IPv4 address types and others that are unique

to IPv6 A node can have several IPv6 addresses, each of which has its own unique purpose This section describes the IPv6 address syntax and the various classes of IPv6 address

IPv6 Address Syntax

The IPv6 128-bit address is divided at 16-bit boundaries, and each 16-bit block is converted

to a 4-digit hexadecimal number Colons are used as separators This representation is called

colon-hexadecimal.

IPv6 representation can be simplified by removing the leading zeros within each 16-bit

block However, each block must have at least a single digit With leading-zero suppression,

the address representation becomes:

21cd:53:0:0:3ad:3f:af37:8d62

A contiguous sequence of 16-bit blocks set to 0 in the colon-hexadecimal format can be

compressed to :: Thus, the previous example address could be written:

21cd:53::3ad:3f:af37:8d62

note Ipv6 aBBreVIatION

You cannot use :: twice in the same address.

Some types of addresses contain long sequences of zeros and thus provide good examples

of when to use this notation For example, the multicast address ff05:0:0:0:0:0:0:2 can be

compressed to ff05::2

IPv6 Address Prefixes

The prefix is the part of the address that indicates either the bits that have fixed values

or the network identifier bits IPv6 prefixes are expressed in the same way as CIDR IPv4

notation, or slash notation For example, 21cd:53::/64 is the subnet on which the address

21cd:53::23ad:3f:af37:8d62 is located In this case, the first 64 bits of the address are the

network prefix An IPv6 subnet prefix (or subnet ID) is assigned to a single link Multiple

subnet IDs can be assigned to the same link This technique is called multinetting.

note Ipv6 DOeS NOt USe DOtteD DeCIMaL NOtatION IN SUBNet MaSKS

Only prefix length notation is supported in IPv6 IPv4 dotted decimal subnet mask

representation (such as 255.255.255.0) has no direct equivalent.

IPv6 Address Types

The three types of IPv6 address are as follows:

n Unicast Identifies a single interface within the scope of the unicast address

type Packets addressed to a unicast address are delivered to a single interface

RFC 2373 allows multiple interfaces to use the same address, provided that these

interfaces appear as a single interface to the IPv6 implementation on the host This

accommodates load-balancing systems

n Multicast Identifies multiple interfaces Packets addressed to a multicast address are

delivered to all interfaces that are identified by the address

n anycast Identifies multiple interfaces Packets addressed to an anycast address are

delivered to the nearest interface identified by the address The nearest interface is the

closest in terms of routing distance, or number of hops An anycast address is used for

For more information about IPv6 address structure and architecture, see RFC 2373

at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2373.txt.

note INterFaCeS aND NODeS

IPv6 addresses identify interfaces rather than nodes A node is identified by any unicast address that is assigned to one of its interfaces.

IPv6 Unicast Addresses

IPv6 supports the following types of unicast address:

n Global

n Link-local

n Site-local

n Special

Global Unicast Addresses

Global unicast addresses are the IPv6 equivalent of IPv4 public addresses and are globally routable and reachable on the IPv6 Internet These addresses can be aggregated to produce

an efficient routing infrastructure and are therefore sometimes known as aggregatable global unicast addresses A global unicast address is unique across the entire IPv6 Internet (The

region over which an IP address is unique is called the scope of the address )

The Format Prefix (FP) of a global unicast address is held in the three most significant bits, which are always 001 In other words, in theory, they start with 2 or 3—but in practice, they always start with 2 The internal structure of the address is beyond the scope of the 70-680 examination and this book, but you should know that the section of the address that defines the host (the final 64 bits) is either derived from the 48-bit hardware media access control (MAC) address of the network adapter card or is assigned directly to that network adapter card Put simply, the interface identity is provided by the network adapter hardware

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2374.txt.

Link-Local Addresses

Link-local IPv6 addresses are equivalent to IPv4 addresses allocated through APIPA You can

Site-Local Addresses

Site-local IPv6 addresses are equivalent to the IPv4 private addresses Private intranets that

do not have a direct, routed connection to the IPv6 Internet can use site-local addresses

without conflicting with global unicast addresses The scope of a site-local address is the site

(or organization internetwork) Site-local addresses begin with fec0.

Site-local addresses can be allocated by using stateful address configuration, such as

from a DHCPv6 scope A host uses stateful address configuration when it receives router

advertisement messages that do not include address prefixes A host will also use a stateful

address configuration protocol when no routers are present on the local link

Site-local addresses can also be configured through stateless address configuration This is

based on router advertisement messages that include stateless address prefixes and require

that hosts do not use a stateful address configuration protocol

Alternatively, address configuration can use a combination of stateless and stateful

configuration This occurs when router advertisement message include stateless address

prefixes but require that hosts use a stateful address configuration protocol

Figure 6-21 shows a global unicast and a link-local address associated with a Teredo

tunnel You can work out for yourself which is which Teredo is discussed later in this lesson

FIgUre 6-21 A global unicast and a link-local address

Link-Local and Site-Local addresses

You can implement IPv6 connectivity between hosts on an isolated subnet by

using link-local addresses However, you cannot assign link-local addresses

to router interfaces (default gateways) and you cannot route from one subnet to

another if only local addresses are used DNS servers cannot use only

link-local addresses If you use link-link-local addresses, you need to specify their interface

IDs—that is the number after the % symbol at the end of the address Link-local

addresses are not dynamically registered in Windows DDNS.

For these reasons, site-local addresses are typically used on the subnets of a private network to implement IPv6 connectivity over the network If every device on the network has its own global address (a stated aim of IPv6 implementation), you can also use global addresses to route between internal subnets, to peripheral zones, and to the Internet.

Special Addresses

Two special IPv6 addresses exist—the unspecified address and the loopback address The unspecified address 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 (or ::) is used to indicate the absence of an address and is equivalent to the IPv4 unspecified address 0 0 0 0 It is typically used as a source address for packets attempting to verify whether a tentative address is unique It is never assigned to an interface or used as a destination address The loopback address 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 (or ::1) is used

to identify a loopback interface and is equivalent to the IPv4 loopback address 127 0 0 1

IPv6 Multicast Addresses

IPv6 multicast addresses enable an IPv6 packet to be sent to a number of hosts, all of which

have the same multicast address They have an FP of 11111111 (they always start with ff)

quick Check answer

n Unicast site-local

IPv6 Anycast Addresses

An anycast address is assigned to multiple interfaces Packets sent to an anycast address

are forwarded by the routing infrastructure to the nearest of these interfaces The routing

infrastructure must be aware of the interfaces that are assigned anycast addresses and their distance in terms of routing metrics Currently, anycast addresses are used only as destination addresses and are assigned only to routers
