Routing & Switching

The video walks you through basic and advance configuration of OSPFv3 on Cisco router. You will be able to see configuration similarities and differences between OSPFv3 and OSPF in IPv4. Our tasks include simple route advertisement, routing process and interface parameter adjustment, and route manipulation. We will also look at various types of OSPF area and LSA messages. You should become familiar with OSPFv3 by the end of this lab. We recommend having basic understanding of IPv6 before viewing this video.

The video walks you through basic and advance configuration of EIGRPv6 on Cisco router. You will be able to see configuration similarities and differences between EIGRPv6 and EIGRP in IPv4.

The video walks you through basic and advance configuration of RIPng on Cisco router. You will be able to see configuration similarities and differences between RIPng and RIPv2. Our tasks include simple route advertisement, routing process parameter adjustment, and route manipulation. You should become familiar with RIPng by the end of this lab. We recommend having basic understanding of IPv6 before viewing this video.

The video demonstrates IPv6 HSRP configuration on Cisco router. We will show how HSRP is integrated with IPv6 Router Advertisement message to provide first hop redundancy to end-hosts. HSRPv6 will be operationally compared to the IPv6 Default Router Preference method and any distinctions between the two will be made. We will use a router and Windows 7 computer as our test end devices.

The video demonstrate an alternative to IPv6 address assignment with Stateful Autoconfiguration on Cisco router. The concept of DHCP in IPv6 has changed slightly where DHCP server no longer provides subnet mask and default gateway, but instead end-hosts obtain these information through Router Advertisement. We will look at how we can use Other and Managed Config flags to control what type of information end-hosts would obtain from a DHCP server. A router and Windows 7 computer will be used as our test clients in this lab.

The video looks further into mechanism that IPv6 uses to provide default router information to local hosts on Cisco router. This includes ability to influence end hosts to choose a preferred default gateway. We will specifically look at Default Router Preference flag in the RA packet on Wireshark, as well as performing router failover and observe exactly host the end hosts change their default gateway. 

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.

The video looks into Virtual Extension LAN (VXLAN) support on Cisco Nexus 1000V. VXLAN allows VLAN ID to be extended to 24 bits, or in other words, essentially increases number of available VLAN from 4096 to more than 16 million VLAN. We will configure VXLAN on port-profile. In this lab, we intentionally have VEM control interfaces separated by layer 3 to demonstrate MAC-in-IP encapsulation provided by VXLAN to extend an isolated layer 2 domain across a routable and multicast-enabled network.
