IPv6 Routing Protocols

IPv6 Routing Protocols

IPv6 routing types:

Static
RIPng (RFC 2080)
OSPFv3 (RFC 2740)
IS-IS for IPv6
MP-BGP4 (RFC 2545/2858)
EIGRP for IPv6

ipv6 unicast-routing command is required to

enable IPv6 before any routing protocol configured.

RIPng

Hc vin mng Bch Khoa - www.bkacad.com

RIPng

Same as IPv4:
Distance-vector, radius of 15 hops, split-horizon,
and poison reverse
Based on RIPv2
Updated features for IPv6:
IPv6 prefix, next-hop IPv6 address
Uses the multicast group FF02::9, the all-riprouters multicast group, as the destination address
for RIP updates
Uses IPv6 for transport
Named RIPng

OSPFv3

Hc vin mng Bch Khoa - www.bkacad.com

OSPF Version 3 (OSPFv3) (RFC 2740)

Similar to OSPFv2 for IPv4:

Same mechanisms, but a major rewrite of the
internals of the protocol
Updated features for IPv6:
Every IPv4-specific semantic is removed
Carry IPv6 addresses
Link-local addresses used as source
IPv6 transport
OSPF for IPv6 is currently an IETF proposed
standard

Enabling OSPFv3 on Interfaces

Step

Command or Action

Purpose

Router(config)#interface type
number

Specifies an interface type and number, and

places the router in interface configuration
mode.

Router(config-if)#ipv6 address
address/prefix-length [eui-64]

Configures an IPv6 address for an interface

and enables IPv6 processing on the interface.
The eui-64 parameter forces the router to
complete the addresses low-order 64-bits by
using an EUI-64 interface ID.
Enables OSPF for IPv6 on an interface.

Router(config-if)#ipv6 ospf
process-id area area-id [instance
instance-id]

Router(config-if)#router ospf
priority priority number

Priority number is used in the designated

router election.

Router(config-if)#router ospf cost

cost

The cost of sending a packet on the interface,

expressed in the link state metric.

R1(config)# interface Gi0/0

R1(config)# ipv6 ospf 10 area 0

R1(config)# interface s0/0/0
R1(config)# ipv6 ospf 10 area 0

Summary
RIP, EIGRP, IS-IS, BGP, and OSPF support IPv6.
OSPFv3 is OSPF for IPv6.
Most of the algorithms of OSPFv2 are the same in

OSPFv3.
There are two new LSAs in IPv6: LSA type 8 and LSA
type 9. The router LSA and the network LSA do not
carry IPv6 addresses.
Configuring OSPFv3 requires knowledge of IPv6.
There are Cisco IOS software configuration
commands for OSPFv3 to support all of the
capabilities of OSPFv3.
Numerous OSPFv3 IOS show commands support the
verification of OSPFv3 configurations.
