1. Detailed explanation of the format and functionality of IPv6 addresses.

1.IPv6 Address Format and Functionality

IPv6 addresses are 128-bit addresses represented in hexadecimal notation. They are structured
into eight 16-bit blocks separated by colons (:). Each block represents a 16-bit hexadecimal
value. IPv6 addresses can be classified into two main types:
1. Unicast- identify a single interface
2. Any cast - Identify a set of interfaces in such a way that a packet sent any cast address
is delivered to all members of group set.
IPv6 address the following challenges
1. Large address space
With 128bit long compared to IPV4 32 bits, this allows huge creation of address on demand.
2.Better Header format
The header format of IPV6 is separated from the base header and upper-layer data which
increases routing process
3. New option
Ipv6 has new option to accommodate more functionalities compared to Ipv4
4. Allowance of extension
5. Support for resources allocation
6. Support for more security

2 The IOS commands necessary to configure the router interfaces with relevant IPv6
addresses (CCNA part 1).

To configure IPv6 addresses on router interfaces, the following IOS commands are
used
 1. interface interface-type interface-number
2. ipv6 address global-address/prefix-length

For example, to configure an IPv6 address on Gigabit Ethernet interface 1, use the
following command:

1. interface Gigabit Ethernet 1

2. ipv6 address 2001:db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7344/64

3.The IOS commands necessary to configure and inspect an IPv6 RIP (RIPng)
implementation (Internet, not part of CCNA).

IPv6 RIP (RIPng) Functionality

Configuring RIPng:
To configure RIPng on a router, use the following IOS commands:
1.router rip
2.network ipv6 {network-range}
For example, to enable RIPng for the entire IPv6 address space, use the following command:
 1.router rip
2. network ipv6 0::0
Real-time Operation of RIPng
Explanation:
RIPng routers periodically send routing updates to their neighbors. These updates contain the
router's routing table, which lists the known network prefixes and their hop counts. Routers
receive updates from their neighbors and update their routing tables accordingly.
Routing Table Content
Explanation:
RIPng routing tables contain entries for known networks and their associated hop counts. The
routing table is used to determine the best path to reach a destination network.

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

4.The IOS commands necessary to configure and inspect an OSPFv3 implementation. You
are only required to consider the Single-Area mode of OSPFv3. You do not need to provide
for Multi-Area OSPFv3 (CCNA part 3).
Pv6 OSPF (Single Area) Functionality
Configuring OSPFv3 (Single Area)

To configure OSPFv3 (Single Area) on a router, use the following IOS commands:

1.router ospfv3
2.process-id
3. area 0
4. router-id
5.network ipv6
For example, to configure OSPFv3 (Single Area) with process ID 1 and a router ID of
2001:db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7344, use the following commands:

1.router ospfv3 1
2.process-id 1
3. area 0
4. router-id 2001:db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7344
5. network ipv6 0::0

Summary of RIPng and OSPFv3

The choice of whether to use RIPng or OSPFv3 depends on the specific requirements of the
network. For small to medium-sized networks with simple routing needs, RIPng may be a good
choice. For larger networks with more complex routing requirements, OSPFv3 is a better choice.
