  • Page 3: Ipv6 Features

    Operation Manual – IPv6 H3C S5500-SI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 IPv6 Basics Configuration 1.1.1 IPv6 Features I. Header format simplification IPv6 cuts down some IPv4 header fields or move them to the IPv6 extension headers to reduce the length of the basic IPv6 header. IPv6 uses the basic header with a fixed length, thus making IPv6 packet handling simple and improving the forwarding efficiency.
  • Page 4: Introduction To Ipv6 Address

    Operation Manual – IPv6 H3C S5500-SI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 IPv6 Basics Configuration Stateless address configuration means that a host automatically configures an IPv6 address and related information on basis of its own link-layer address and the prefix information advertised by a router.
  • Page 5 Operation Manual – IPv6 H3C S5500-SI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 IPv6 Basics Configuration Leading zeros in each group can be removed. For example, the above-mentioned address represented shorter format 2001:0:130F:0:0:9C0:876A:130B. If an IPv6 address contains two or more consecutive groups of zeros, they can be replaced by the double-colon :: option.
  • Page 6 Operation Manual – IPv6 H3C S5500-SI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 IPv6 Basics Configuration Note: There are no broadcast addresses in IPv6. Their function is superseded by multicast addresses. The type of an IPv6 address is designated by the first several bits called format prefix.

Like the loopback address in IPv4, it may be used by a node to send an IPv6 packet to itself. Unassigned address: The unicast address "::” is called the unassigned address and may not be assigned to any node.

    Operation Manual – IPv6 H3C S5500-SI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 IPv6 Basics Configuration The router/prefix discovery is implemented through RS and RA messages. The router/prefix discovery procedure is as follows: After started, a node sends an RS message to request the router for the address prefix and other configuration information for the purpose of autoconfiguration.
