NT Assignment IPv6

A Day in the Life: IPv6

Task 1: Configure the “A Day in the Life” scenario in IPv6.

Use the Kathara lab from the assignment 1 and configure it with IPv6. This time,
you are going to configure IP addresses yourself, with the help of IPv6 auto
configuration. We’ll use Linux Router Advertisement Daemon (radvd) package.

A few links on how radvd package works:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radvd
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Linux+IPv6-HOWTO/#hints-daemons-
radvd
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/how-to-start-
and-stop-radvd-485575/

but of course, feel free to consult Internet on your own.

There is also an example radvd.conf file in the aditl lab (under router1/etc
directory). When doing the assignment you should configure radvd.conf file
correctly, start radvd and take care that your radvd.conf file has no “write”
permissions, otherwise radvd will not start.

To use autoconfiguration, your IPv6 address in interfaces file should be defined

in this format:

“iface eth0 inet6 auto”

Tip: Watch out that all your IPv6 interfaces are in “UP” state before you can send
and receive routing advertisements.

We will reuse the lab from the previous assignment. For the IPv6 network
addresses the network drawing and IP address range per group table below will
be used.

Provide adjusted network drawing with the configured interfaces.

Task 3: Interconnect all nodes
Now your addresses are configured, you’ll need to connect all 3 subnets.
You should be able to reuse the routes from the previous assignment. Convert
your IPv4 routing configuration to IPv6 routing configuration .

Prove your correct routing configuration by using ping command. The ping has
to work between any 2 nodes of your configuration.

Provide screenshots of the following successful IPv6 pings:

1. Laptop to WebServer
2. DnsServer to Laptop
3. DnsServer to WebServer

Explain how your automatic IPv6 addresses were formed based on one example
autoconfigured IPv6 address.

Task 4: IPv6 configuration research

Consult the Internet and answer these two questions:

1. Why don’t we need ARP in IPv6 anymore ?
2. What is the difference between Stateful and Stateless DHCPv6 ?
