Lab Objective:
The objective of this lab exercise is for you to configure IPv6 static routing.
Lab Purpose:
IPv6 static routing is not specifically referred to in the exam syllabus. Static routing is and IPv6 is also, so you might be tested on both together in the exam. Rather than watch a video solution, I have provided show runs and test commands where appropriate.
Certification Level:
This lab is suitable for both CCENT and CCNA certification exam preparation.
Lab Difficulty:
This lab has a difficulty rating of 4/10.
Readiness Assessment:
When you are ready for your certification exam, you should complete this lab in no more than 15 minutes.
Lab Topology:
Please use the following topology to complete this lab exercise:
Task 1:
Configure the topology above. You will need to find the link-local next hop address for RouterA to send the traffic for Task 2. This will be under the IPv6 interface for RouterB. Don’t copy the link-local address I used because it is unique to my router. Check that you can ping across the Serial link.
Task 2:
Configure two static routes on RouterA so it can reach the networks behind RouterB.
Task 3:
Ping the Loopback interfaces on RouterB from RouterA.
