    Introduction to IPv6 Migrating to IPv6 Migrating to IPv6 To successfully migrate to IPv6 involves maintaining compatibility with the large installed base of IPv4 hosts and routers for the immediate future. To achieve this purpose, software release K.13.01 supports dual-stack (IPv4/IPv6) operation and connections to IPv6-aware routers for routing IPv6 traffic between VLANs and across IPv4 networks.

    Introduction to IPv6 Migrating to IPv6 IPv6 Propagation IPv6 is currently in the early stages of deployment worldwide, involving a phased-in migration led by the application of basic IPv6 functionality. In these applications, IPv6 traffic is switched among IPv6-capable devices on a given LAN, and routed between LANs using IPv6-capable routers.

    IPv6 Addressing Introduction Introduction IPv6 supports multiple addresses on an interface, and uses them in a manner comparable to subnetting an IPv4 VLAN. For example, where the switch is configured with multiple VLANs and each is connected to an IPv6 router, each VLAN will have a single link-local address and one or more global unicast addresses.

    IPv6 Addressing IPv6 Address Structure and Format An IPv6 address includes a network prefix and an interface identifier. Network Prefix The network prefix (high-order bits) in an IPv6 address begins with a well- known, fixed prefix for defining the address type. Some examples of well- known, fixed prefixes are: 2000::/3global (routable) unicast address fd08::/8 unique local unicast address...

  • Page 52: Address Types And Scope

    IPv6 Addressing Address Types and Scope Address Types and Scope Address Types IPv6 uses these IP address types: Unicast: Identifies a specific IPv6 interface. Traffic having a unicast ■ destination address is intended for a single interface. Like IPv4 addresses, unicast addresses can be assigned to a specific VLAN on the switch and to other IPv6 devices connected to the switch.

  • Page 53: Address Scope

    IPv6 Addressing Address Types and Scope Address Scope The address scope determines the area (topology) in which a given IPv6 address is used. This section provides an overview of IPv6 address types. For more information, refer to the chapter titled “IPv6 Addressing”. Link-Local Address.

  • Page 56: Extended Unique Identifier (Eui)

    IPv6 Addressing Link-Local Unicast Address Because all VLANs configured on the switch use the same MAC address, all automatically generated link-local addresses on the switch will have the same link-local address. However, since the scope of a link-local address includes only the VLAN on which it was generated, this should not be a problem.

  • Page 60: Prefixes In Routable Ipv6 Addresses

    IPv6 Addressing Global Unicast Address Prefixes in Routable IPv6 Addresses In routable IPv6 addresses, the prefix uniquely identifies an entity and a unicast subnet within that entity, and is defined by a length value specifying the number of leftmost contiguous (high-order) bits comprising the prefix. For an automatically generated global unicast address, the default prefix length is 64 bits.

  • Page 61: Unique Local Unicast Ipv6 Address

    IPv6 Addressing Unique Local Unicast IPv6 Address Unique Local Unicast IPv6 Address A unique local unicast address is an address that falls within a specific range, but is used only as a global unicast address within an organization. Traffic having a source address within the defined range should not be allowed beyond the borders of the intended domain or onto the public internet.

  • Page 62: Anycast Addresses

    IPv6 Addressing Anycast Addresses Anycast Addresses Network size, traffic loads and the potential for network changes make it desirable to build in redundancy for some network services to provide increased service reliability. Anycast addressing provides this capability for applications where it does not matter which source is actually used to provide a service that is offered on multiple sources.

    IPv6 Addressing The Unspecified Address The Unspecified Address The “unspecified” address is defined as 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 (::/128, or just ::). It can be used, for example, as a temporary source address in multicast traffic sent by an interface that has not yet acquired its own address. The unspecified address cannot be statically configured on the switch, or used as a destination address.
  • Page 68 IPv6 Addressing IPv6 Address Deprecation N o t e s Preferred and valid lifetimes on a VLAN interface are determined by the router advertisements received on the interface. These values are not affected by the lease time assigned to an address by a DHCPv6 server. That is, lease expiration on a DHCPv6-assigned address terminates use of the address, regardless of the status of the RA-assigned lifetime, and router-assigned lifetime expiration of a leased address terminates the switch’s use of the address.

    Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) Snooping Overview Overview Multicast addressing allows one-to-many or many-to-many communication among hosts on a network. Typical applications of multicast communication include audio and video streaming, desktop conferencing, collaborative com­ puting, and similar applications. Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) is an IPv6 protocol used on a local link for multicast group management.

In that case, if a switch receives a packet with a multicast destination address, it floods the packet to all ports in the same VLAN (except the port that it came in on).
  • Page 151 Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) Snooping Introduction to MLD Snooping Note that MLD snooping operates on a single VLAN (though there can be multiple VLANs, each running MLD snooping). Cross-VLAN traffic is handled by a multicast router. Forwarding in MLD snooping. When MLD snooping is active, a multicast packet is handled by the switch as follows: ■...
  • Page 152 Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) Snooping Introduction to MLD Snooping A network node establishes itself as an MLD host by issuing a multicast “join” request (also called a multicast “report”) for a specific multicast address when it starts an application that listens to multicast traffic. The switch to which the node is connected sees the join request and forwards traffic for that multicast address to the node’s port.

The fast leave and forced fast leave functions can help to prune unnecessary multicast traffic when an MLD host issues a leave request from a multicast address.
