Lab Objective:
The focus of this lab is to understand RIPng implementation and configuration in Cisco IOS routers. Additional technologies include stateless auto-configuration and summarization.
Lab Topology:
The lab network topology is illustrated below:
|
IMPORTANT NOTE If you are using the www.howtonetwork.net racks, please bring up the LAN interfaces connected to the routers by issuing the no shutdown command on the connected switches. If you are using a home lab with no Switches, you can bring up the LAN interfaces using the following configurations on your routers: interface fastethernet 0/0  no keepalive  loopback  no shutdown Alternately, you can simply connect the interfaces to a hub or switch if you have one available in your own lab. |
Task 1
Configure hostnames and IPv6 addressing on all routers as illustrated in the network topology. Â Do NOT configure an IPv6 address on R4s FastEthernet 0/0 interface.
Task 2
Configure R4 so that it uses stateless auto-configuration to dynamically provision its address. Ensure that this router also has a default route in its routing table. Verify your configuration.
Task 3
Configure RIPng on R1, R2, and R3. RIPng messages should be exchanged using UDP port 520. Do NOT enable RIPng for the LAN subnet connected to R1. Next configure your network so that R2 is able to reach R4; however, R3 should NOT be able to reach R4. You are NOT allowed to use redistribution, any types of route filters on any router in the network, or static routes. Verify your configuration using the appropriate commands.
Task 4
Configure the following Loopback interfaces on R3 and redistribute them via RIPng:
- Loopback 1: IPv6 address 2002:abcd:1234:a::4/128
- Loopback 2: IPv6 address 2002:abcd:1234:b::4/128
- Loopback 3: IPv6 address 2002:abcd:1234:c::4/128
- Loopback 4: IPv6 address 2002:abcd:1234:d::4/128
- Loopback 5: IPv6 address 2002:abcd:1234:e::4/128
Next, configure RIPng to advertise a SINGLE route for these 5 Loopback interfaces. Ensure that this single route is advertised to R1 and R2 and the specific prefixes are suppressed. Verify your configuration using the appropriate commands as well as standard or extended pings.
Task 5
Configure RIPng so that all routes that R2 receives from R3 have a route metric of 10. Verify your configuration using the appropriate commands.
