NAT64

  • Transition technique designed to allow native IPv6 hosts to access IPv4-only content.
    • (Translation technique not a tunneling technique).
  • Primarily used to allow v6 hosts to initiate connections to IPv4 content.
    • Mechanisms do exist to allow the reverse.
  • Stateful and stateless versions.
    • stateful can use any prefix
    • stateless has restriction on prefix

NAT64 and DNS64 co-existance.

  1. IPv6 host sends AAAA DNS Query
  2. DNS64 server tries AAAA lookup and fails
  3. DNS64 server successfully resolves IPv4 address
  4. DNS64 server generates AAAA DNS response of <IPv6 prefix:IPv4 adress> and sends it back to the client.

IPv6 Tunnels

  • point-to-point tunnels
  • MCT ( manually configured tunnel )
  • GRE ( Generic Routing Encapsulation )
  • Virtual point-to-point between two IPv4 routers
  • IPv6 iGP routing protocols can run over these virtual links.

IPv6 iGP redistribution

Similarities to IPv4

  • Redistribution takes routes from the IP routing table, not from the iGP databases.
  • Route maps can be used for filtering, metrics, route tags.
  • Admnistrative distance has not changed.
  • Options to prevent routing loops; Administrative distance, route tags, filtering.
  • Syntax is the same.

Differences to IPv4

  • Supported “match” commands in route-maps vary on iGP
    • OSPF/RIP cannot match op “route-type” with a Route-map
      • EIGRP has no problems using “route-type”
    • Route-map matching IPv6 ACLs must have IPv6 prefix as source portion and “any” as destination of ACL.
  • IPv6 redistribute connected does not include interfaces running the iGP;
    • redistribute include-connected

 

 

 

IPv6 RIPng EIGRP OSPFv3

RIPng

  • UPD port number 521
  • No autosummarization for IPv6
  • Destination address FF02::9
  • Link-Local next-hops
  • IPv6 uses IPv6 AH/ESP Authentication
  • Enable it on the interface
    • ipv6 rip CCNP enable fa0/0
  • No network command

EIGRP IPv6

  • EIGRP uses the neighbor’s link local address as the next-hop
  • Destination FF02::AA
  • Authentication relies on the IPv6 built-in authentication nad privacy
  • IPv4 defaults to auto summarization, IPv6 doesn’t
    • ipv6 unicast-routing
    • ipv6 route eigrp 100
    • (config-if)#ipv6 eigrp 100
    • eigrp router-id RID

BGP Filtering

  • BGP filtering can be done on any routers
  • Filtering can be done inbound and outbound
  • After filtering is applied BGP neighbor must be reset or cleared for the filter to take effect
    • clear ip bgp 20.20.20.20 in/out  preferred
    • clear ip bgp *   (hard reset)
    • clear ip bgp 20.20.20.20 soft in/out

BGP Routing

Injecting routes into BGP.

  • Use the network command.
    • Different than the network command in iGP; it isn’t used to listen/active interfaces.
    • the BGP network command looks for the prefix in the routing table and originates that into the BGP table.
    • If no mask is defined, IOS assumes a classful network.
    • Classful route is added if:
      • the exact route is in the ip routing table
      • Any subset of routes are in the routing table (only with auto-summery)
    • create a null0 route
      •  ip route 30.30.30.0 255.255.255.0 null0
router bgp 20
 bgp log-neighbor-changes
 network 30.30.30.0 mask 255.255.255.0
 neighbor 10.10.10.1 remote-as 10
 neighbor 10.10.10.1 ebgp-multihop 255
 neighbor 10.10.10.1 update-source Loopback1

BGP AS Path

  • Multiple path attributes to determine the best path for a certain prefix.
  • When no path attributes are set, BGP uses the AS_PATH to determine the best route.
    • Shortest AS path wins
  • AS_SEQ is the component of the AS_PATH attribute.
    • 10.10.10.0/24 20 10
      • AS-SEQ (in order)
  • With summarization:
    • 10.10.0.0/16 20 10 { 1 2 5 4 3 }  
    • Prefix AS-PATH AS-SEQ  { AS-SET } 
      • AS-SET are not in order
  • Prevents Routing loops.
  • If a BGP router received an update with it’s own AS#, it indicates a loop.
  • If a BGP router received an update with it’s own AS#, it drops the route.
