Lab 3.

IPv6 Address
Autoconfiguration

Lab Objective:
The objective of this lab exercise is for you to learn and understand
how to configure IPv6 addresses on Cisco routers using address
autoconfiguration and EUI-64 addressing.

Lab Purpose:
Configuring IPv6 addressing is one of your most fundamental tasks
as a Cisco engineer. In the exam, you may also be asked to
configure an IPv6 address using Stateless Address
Autoconfiguration (SLACC) as well as EUI-64 addressing.

Lab Topology:
Please use the following topology to complete this lab exercise:

Task 1:
Configure the hostnames on routers R1 and R3 as illustrated in the
topology.

Task 2:
Configure the IP addresses on the Ethernet interfaces of R1 and R3
as illustrated in the topology. Configure the Loopback interfaces
specified in the diagram on R3.

F0/0 on R3 will use SLACC to obtain the address prefix from R1.
Loopback0 will use EUI-64 to complete the host portion of the
address.

Task 3:
Use the correct show commands to check:

1. The summary of all configured IP addresses;

2. The status of the interface (up/down or administratively down);
and
3. The subnet mask applied to the interface.
 Lab 3. Configuration and
Verification

Task 1:
Router#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CTRL/Z.
Router(config)#hostname R1
R1(config)#

Router#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CTRL/Z.
Router(config)#hostname R3
R3(config)#

Task 2:
R1(config)#ipv6 unicast-routing
R1(config)#interface f0/0
R1(config-if)#ipv6 add 2001:abcd:abcd::1/64
R1(config-if)#no shut

R3(config)#ipv6 unicast-routing
R3(config)#interface f0/0
R3(config-if)#ipv6 add autoconfig
R3(config-if)#no shut
R3(config)#interface lo0
R3(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa::/64 eui-64

Task 3:
R3#show ipv6 int f0/0
