Day One: Exploring IPv6

“Chris Grundemann has created a fantastic introduction to IPv6 that covers the protocol structure as well as Junos implementation details. This guide is easy to follow and is an easy-to-digest tutorial on getting your feet wet in IPv6. This is a great addition to the other Day One booklets that Juniper has made available to everyone.”

Day One: Exploring IPv6
The impending exhaustion of IPv4 addresses is prompting many network operators to take a closer look at ways to provide more address space, including IPv6 and Large Scale NAT. When deploying IPv6, you can gain a great advantage by using Juniper Networks high-end routers because IPv6 has been implemented directly in the ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit). Having IPv6 compatibility in the hardware means that IPv6 packets can be forwarded at line rate – unlike many competing routers. Additionally, the Junos OS makes configuring and troubleshooting an IPv6 network a snap. As you read this booklet and work through the topics in your lab, you’ll progressively gain a fuller understanding of IPv6 configuration and operation in Junos. The layered, methodical progression provided will get you up to speed on this crucial networking technology quickly and easily.

Day One: Exploring IPv6 shows you how to:
  • Understand IPv6 address length, and read IPv6 addresses.
  • Add family inet6 and IPv6 addresses to all types of interfaces.
  • Set up and test IPv6 neighbor discovery and how to implement static routes in IPv6.
  • Use basic IPv6 troubleshooting and verification commands, such as ping, traceroute, and various show commands.
  • Understand how the three Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs) support IPv6: RIPng, OSPF3, and IS-IS.
