Assigning IPv6 addresses

Starting from Packet Trace Version 6, the IP Configuration utility under the Desktop tab of end devices has an option to enter an IPv6 address. Let's begin with a simple topology consisting of two PCs and a router connected to a switch, as shown in the following screenshot:

There are three ways of assigning IPv6 addresses to a device and we'll see each one of them.

Autoconfiguration

Autoconfiguration requires the least amount of configuration but makes it difficult to remember the IPv6 addresses. This method uses the MAC address of the device to create an IPv6 address with the FE80:: prefix. Carry out the following steps to assign IPv6 addresses using Autoconfiguration:

  1. Begin by configuring the router. Enter the interface configuration mode and enable IPv6 on the interface.

    R0(config)#ipv6 unicast-routing
R0(config)#interface FastEthernet0/0
R0(config-if)#ipv6 enable

  2. Next, we will configure a link local address and a global unicast address on this interface. We'll use...
