Routing & Switching
The video walks you through basic IPv6 interface configuration on Cisco router, and introduces you to a concept of Link-Local, Site-Local and Global addresses. We will look at how an IPv6 host can obtain an IP address through stateless autoconfiguration using a Cisco router and Windows 7 computer as our test devices. We will review the IPv6 fundamental messages used in neighbour discovery from debug outputs and Wireshark packet captures.
Note:
- Neighbor Discovery process is based on ICMPv6 and very similar to ARP in IPv4, but with additional features such as default gateway discovery
