Networking Requirements As shown in Figure 1, two IPv6 networks are connected to Device B on the IPv4 backbone network through Device A and Device C. To interconnect the two IPv6 networks, configure a manual IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel between Device A and Device C. Figure 1 Configuring a manual IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel Precautions When configuring a manual IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel, note the following …

IPv6 supports the following features: Hierarchical address structure The IPv6 hierarchical address structure facilitates route search, reduces the IPv6 routing table size using route aggregation, and improves the forwarding efficiency of CX devices. Automatic address configuration IPv6 supports stateful and stateless address autoconfiguration to simplify the host configuration process. In stateful address autoconfiguration, the host obtains …
Continue reading IPv6 FeaturesIPv6 Address Format A 128-bit IPv6 address has two formats: X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X IPv6 addresses in this format are written as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits (0 to 9, A to F), each group separated by a colon (:). Every “X” represents a group of hexadecimal digits. For example, 2031:0000:130F:0000:0000:09C0:876A:130B is a valid IPv6 address. For …
