Configuring an IPv6 Network with RIPng

Configuring an IPv6 Network with RIPng

Hi ! everyone on today we are going to learn about how to configure an ipv6 network with RIPng with simplified explanation given below as screenshots with our topology.

Step 1: First we should assign ipv6 address to all PCs

PC0

 PC1

PC2

Step 2: We have to configure ipv6 with RIPng on Router R1

Router>enable
Router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#hostname R1
R1(config)#ipv6 unicast-routing
R1(config)#interface g0/0
R1(config-if)#ipv6 address FE80::1 link-local
R1(config-if)#ipv6 address 2001:DB8:DA:1::1/64
R1(config-if)#ipv6 rip RIP1 enable
R1(config-if)#no shutdown

Now we can see the green color is the changed state to up on Router R1 connected to Switch1.

R1(config-if)#interface s0/0/0
R1(config-if)#ipv6 address FE80::1 link-local
R1(config-if)#ipv6 address 2001:DB8:DA:2::1/64
R1(config-if)#ipv6 rip RIP1 enable
R1(config-if)#ipv6 rip RIP1 default-information originate
R1(config-if)#clock rate 128000

R1(config-if)#no shutdown
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial0/0/0, changed state to down
R1(config-if)#interface s0/0/1
R1(config-if)#ipv6 address FE80::1 link-local
R1(config-if)#ipv6 address 2001:DB8:DA:C::2/64
R1(config-if)#no shutdown

%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial0/0/1, changed state to down
R1(config-if)#exit
R1(config)#ipv6 route ::/0 s0/0/1

R1(config)#exit

R1#copy running-config startup-config
Destination filename [startup-config]?
Building configuration...

[OK]

We can check our Router R1 by running-configure

R1#show running-config

end


Step 3: After completing on router R1 we have to configure ipv6 on Router R2 with RIPng 

Router>enable
Router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#hostname R2
R2(config)#ipv6 unicast-routing
R2(config)#interface s0/0/0
R2(config-if)#ipv6 address FE80::2 link-local
R2(config-if)#ipv6 address 2001:DB8:DA:2::2/64

R2(config-if)#no shutdown

We can see the Router R2 connected with R1 turns to green color which means it changed state to up.

R2(config-if)#interface g0/0
R2(config-if)#ipv6 address FE80::2 link-local
R2(config-if)#ipv6 address 2001:DB8:DA:3::1/64

R2(config-if)#no shutdown

On the above screenshot we can see R2 connects Switch2 it shows in green color is that changed state to up.

R2(config-if)#interface s0/0/1
R2(config-if)#clock rate 128000
R2(config-if)#ipv6 address FE80::2 link-local
R2(config-if)#ipv6 address 2001:DB8:DA:4::1/64

R2(config-if)#no shutdown


R2(config-if)#ipv6 rip RIP1 enable
R2(config-if)#interface s0/0/0
R2(config-if)#ipv6 rip RIP1 enable
R2(config-if)#interface g0/0
R2(config-if)#ipv6 rip RIP1 enable

R2(config-if)#

R2#show run

On R1 router we can check by show ipv6 route command. 
R1>enable
R1#show ipv6 route

Step 4: Configure Router R3 on ipv6 with RIPng

Router>enable
Router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#hostname R3
R3(config)#ipv6 unicast-routing
R3(config)#interface s0/0/1
R3(config-if)#ipv6 address FE80::3 link-local
R3(config-if)#ipv6 address 2001:DB8:DA:4::2/64

R3(config-if)#no shutdown

Now in this step we can see green color which is change in state to up by connecting R2 router.

R3(config-if)#ipv6 rip RIP1 enable
R3(config-if)#interface g0/0
R3(config-if)#ipv6 address FE80::3 link-local
R3(config-if)#ipv6 address 2001:DB8:DA:5::1/64

R3(config-if)#no shutdown

We can see the change in state to up with show green color by connecting Switch3.

R3#copy run start
Destination filename [startup-config]?
Building configuration...

[OK]

On router R2 we have to do copy run start command as shown below.
R2>enable
R2#copy run start
Destination filename [startup-config]?
Building configuration...

[OK]

Step 5: Finally we have to configure on ipv6 ISP router with RIPng

Router>enable
Router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#hostname ISP
ISP(config)#ipv6 unicast-routing

ISP(config)#interface s0/0/1
ISP(config-if)#clock rate 128000
ISP(config-if)#ipv6 address FE80::C link-local
ISP(config-if)#ipv6 address 2001:DB8:DA:C::1/64

ISP(config-if)#no shutdown

ISP(config-if)#exit
ISP(config)#ipv6 route 2001:DB8:DA::/61 s0/0/1

ISP(config)#exit

ISP#copy run start
Destination filename [startup-config]?
Building configuration...

[OK]

Now we can check by pinging on PC0 with ISP router as shown below

Therefore, all the routers and switches are connected each other with all PCs that the change in state to up. In this session we have learned how to configure ipv6 with RIPng with the help of packet tracer version 7.1.
