Lab Objective:
The objective of this lab exercise is for you to learn and understand how to manually configure static default IPv6 routes.
Lab Purpose:
Manually configure IPv6 interface addressing, and then configure a static default route so R1 can reach the addresses on the Loopbacks of R2.
Certification Level:
This lab is suitable for CCENT certification exam preparation.
Lab Difficulty:
This lab has a difficulty rating of 7/10.
Readiness Assessment:
When you are ready for your certification exam, you should complete this lab in no more than 10 minutes.
Lab Topology:
Please use the following topology to complete this lab exercise:
Task 1:
Configure the hostnames on routers R1 and R2 as illustrated in the topology.
Task 2:
Configure the IPv6 addresses on the FastEthernet interfaces of R1 and R2 as illustrated in the topology. Add the Loopback addresses to R2.
Task 3:
Configure a default static route on R1 to allow traffic to reach the subnets connected to R2.
Task 4:
Ping across the link, and then use relevant show commands to verify your configuration.
Configuration and Verification
Task 1:
For reference information on configuring hostnames, please refer to earlier labs.
Task 2:

Task 3:
