So this video I am working on now is regarding point-to-point networks, which I didn’t think that if I were going from 2-3 with the SW1 between then it would be an “Ethernet segment” however R3 and R4 are directly connected via Fa0/1 so that would be a point-to-point so I may be re-covering the same configs already performed with different details.
Also, I wanted to add IP addresses identifying the networks, so as it grows I know which subnet is between which routers so to start I wanted to demonstrate how adding the address and the syntax of it:
First I verify that I have an IPv6 address at all on the interface:
R3#sh ipv6 int bri
FastEthernet0/0 [up/up]
FastEthernet0/1 [up/up]
FE80::20F:23FF:FE09:B181
Serial0/2 [up/up]
Serial0/3 [administratively down/down]
Loopback3 [up/up]
“sh ip int bri” will show Fa0/1 Up/Up, but it won’t show the IP without typing “sh ipv6 int bri” for the syntax (everything with ipv6 has v6 after ip in the commands!).
So then I had never applied an IPv6 address before, so I wanted to check out my options:
R3#conf t
R3(config)#int fa0/1
R3(config-if)#ipv6 add ?
WORD General prefix name
X:X:X:X::X IPv6 link-local address
X:X:X:X::X/<0-128> IPv6 prefix
autoconfig Obtain address using autoconfiguration
R3(config-if)#ipv6 add 2234::3 ?
link-local Use link-local address
R3(config-if)#ipv6 add 2234::3 link-local ?
<cr>
R3(config-if)#ipv6 add 2234::3/64 ?
anycast Configure as an anycast
eui-64 Use eui-64 interface identifier
<cr>
R3(config-if)#ipv6 add 2234::3/64
R3(config-if)#
I’ve highlighted all of my commands in red as its easy to get lost in this syntax, but I wanted to make it crystal clear the options you have. You can either put in your address and make it link-local, or you can do XXXX::/XX which I thought was really odd to have the mask smashed right against the address like that for CLI syntax, but that is how it is apparently.
Also you can see it asks once I use that /64 mask (as I’m not entirely sure how to separate subnets yet so I’m just slicing the address space in half for hosts / subnets), and it gives you options to use an EUI64 interface ID or continue on to configure Anycast.
I don’t really know what I’m doing, so I just went with /64, and interestingly it did not drop the adjacency to R4:
R3(config-if)#ipv6 add 2234::3/64
R3(config-if)#do sh ipv6 ospf nei
Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Interface ID Interface
4.4.4.4 1 FULL/DR 00:00:31 4 FastEthernet0/1
R3(config-if)#
So I am going to go over to configure some loopbacks on both routers quick, and change R4’s Fa0/1 interface IPv6 address quick:
R3(config)#int lo33
R3(config-if)#
*Mar 2 05:01:36.937: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Loopback33, changed state to up

So I put a bit of distance between each router configuration, and also left the route table codes in for OSPFv3, and all the addressing so far has not been too bad with overlaps and things. I am sure IPv6 at a higher level is much more difficult though I am hoping to get away with not needing to know THAT much right now as I am already about to burst.
So anyways, I wanted to get a loopback in there, configure it into our OSPFv3 and ping it to test connectivity seen at the end their to demonstrate how that is done – Now onto the point-to-point topics 🙂
Point-to-Point OSPFv3 networking
So I thought my Ethernet cable connecting two routers would make it point to point enough, but that is not showing us the standard OSPF behavior of FULL/- when doing “sh ipv6 ospf nei”, so I am going to connect R3 to R1 directly via Serial Cable (No NBMA [yet]) to see if I can get a point-to-point type behavior going on.
So I will be trying this for my topology for this lab to see some point-to-point behaviors, so here is the entire new config on R1 and R3:
R1#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
R1(config)#ipv6 unicast-routing

R3(config-if)#
I actually waited for the adjacency to form, wondering what did I do now, and right there in the output was the answer that I had to “no shut” that interface. Wanted to point that out that often times the answer is glaring you in the face, you just need to know where to find it!
So lets see if we get the PtP OSPFv2 behavior from our OSPFv3 neighbor(!):
R3(config-if)#do sh ipv6 ospf nei
Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Interface ID Interface
4.4.4.4 1 FULL/DR 00:00:36 4 FastEthernet0/1
2.2.2.2 1 FULL/ – 00:00:30 7 Serial0/3
R3(config-if)#
And there it is, interesting that Ethernet direct connections are not considered point to point but a Serial connection is (without being configured as a point to point logically).
The main point of the above exercise and output, is that point-to-point links don’t have a DR/BDR election at any point in either version of OSPF, and that FULL/- is the tell tale sign of a PTP neighbor. You can also see the network type with the show ipv6 ospf int command:
R3#sh ipv6 ospf int s0/3
Serial0/3 is up, line protocol is up

You also get some other good info as well in there, and speaking of good info, I’ve added a loopback to R1 in the same formats as the other two routers and lets take a look at the OSPFv3 route table to see how things are going from R4’s point of view:
R4#sh ipv6 route ospf

R4#
Only R3’s loopback, and the network of R1 2231::0/64, but not R1’s loopback. So I tried to do a “clear ipv6 ospf proc” (yes, you need ipv6 here too).
So now the video is over and it basically just presented that Full/- part, but now I am wondering why my point-to-point is not propagating OSPFv3 routes.
While watching debugs and messing with the address, I decided to try this and it worked (or so it seems to have worked):
R1(config-if)#no ipv6 ospf 1 area 11
R1(config-if)#ipv6 ospf 1 area 31
R1(config-if)#do sh ipv6 route ospf

So thinking waaaay back to OSPFv2 stuff, this router doesn’t have any interfaces in Area 0, so we’d need to either make a virtual-link to it or include it in the “Transit Area” that virtual-link would be configured in.
Given that it is Monday, I knocked out two training videos and survived work, on top of turning my pay check into a rent check I am going to stop here and relax the rest of the night as next we will be doing OSPFv3 over an NBMA.
I don’t think there will be much difference, IPv6 aside from the long hex address, seems like it was made to trim the fat off protocols and network types but still work on their same principles / configurations. So I don’t expect to see much difference, but we shall see 🙂 More to come!
