IPv6 Transition Technology

In this LAB I am going to configure IPv6 transition technology by using 6to4 technology. In this LAB include 3 Huawei router and 2 Ubuntu desktop.

1. Configure interface on R1

system-view
sysname R1
interface Ethernet1/0/0
 undo shutdown
 ip address 200.1.1.1 255.255.255.0

interface Ethernet1/0/2
 undo shutdown
 ipv6 enable
 ipv6 address 2002:C801:101::FFFF/64

2. Configure interface on R2

system-view
sysname R2
interface Ethernet1/0/1
 undo shutdown
 ip address 200.2.2.2 255.255.255.0
 
interface Ethernet1/0/2
 undo shutdown
 ipv6 enable
 ipv6 address 2002:C802:202::FFFF/64

3. Configure interface on Internet

system-view
sysname Internet
#
interface Ethernet1/0/0
 undo shutdown
 ip address 200.1.1.2 255.255.255.0
 
interface Ethernet1/0/1
 undo shutdown
 ip address 200.2.2.1 255.255.255.0

4. Configure static route on R1 and R2

To make R1 and R2 can reach to each other WAN, we have to configure static route on both device as below:

On R1

ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 200.1.1.2

On R2

ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 200.2.2.1

5.Configure 6to4 tunnel on R1

Configure 6to4 tunnel

interface Tunnel0/0/0
 ipv6 enable
 ipv6 address auto link-local
 tunnel-protocol ipv6-ipv4 6to4
 source 200.1.1.1

Configure IPv6 static route

ipv6 route-static 2002:C802:202:: 64 Tunnel0/0/0

6.Configure 6to4 tunnel on R2

Configure 6to4 tunnel

interface Tunnel0/0/0
 ipv6 enable
 ipv6 address auto link-local
 tunnel-protocol ipv6-ipv4 6to4
 source 200.2.2.2

Configure IPv6 static route

ipv6 route-static 2002:C801:101:: 64 Tunnel0/0/0

Finish all configuration and don’t forget to commit.

7.Configure IPv6 on Linux1

  • Configure IPv6 on Linux1

  • Test ping to gateway

Perfect we can ping to our gateway.

  • Now try to access to Lniux2 from Linux1

Congrats We can access to Linux2.
