IPv6 address types with EUI-64 and SLAAC

Bring IPv6 to a small firm: write addresses in short form, configure global, unique local, link-local and EUI-64 addresses, watch hosts address themselves with SLAAC, and route between three IPv6 LANs.

Run this lab

It needs Lite: its 5 nodes are set to 5 vCPU and 4,608 MB in total. That fits the free demo too.

The scenario

Quayside Architects' Internet provider has given them 2001:db8:5::/48, and the partners want the office ready for IPv6 before the new cloud services arrive. The head office router (R1) has two LANs: LAN A with a desktop (PC1) and LAN B with a Linux file server (H1). The studio router (R2) has LAN C with PC2. The routers are connected and their interfaces are up, but nothing has an IPv6 address.

What you’ll practise

  • Compress and expand IPv6 addresses correctly
  • Configure global unicast, unique local, link-local, EUI-64 and anycast addresses on IOS
  • Calculate a modified EUI-64 interface ID by hand
  • Identify the multicast groups an IPv6 router joins and why
  • Let hosts configure themselves with SLAAC and route IPv6 with static and default routes

The tasks

  1. Read and write IPv6 addresses
  2. Configure global and unique local addresses
  3. Use modified EUI-64 on the WAN link
  4. Set memorable link-local addresses
  5. Explore multicast and anycast
  6. Let the hosts address themselves (SLAAC)
  7. Route between the LANs

The Lab Tasks pane has the scenario, these tasks, the checks to run, hints and the full solution.

How to open this lab

  1. Sign in to your workspace at lab.cloudlabbox.com.

  2. In File Manager, open Shared, then the folder CCNA 200-301 guided labs.

  3. Open 05 - IPv6 address types with EUI-64 and SLAAC and start its nodes, then open Lab Tasks for the scenario and the steps.

The lab is read-only. You can start the nodes and configure the devices, but changes to the topology can’t be saved. To change it, rebuild it in your own folder.
