Configuring IPoEv6 Access
In IPoEv6 access, users can access the Internet by sending packets, without the need to install any client dial-up software for dialing in.
Context
IPoEv6 access is an access mode in which users access the NetEngine 8000 F by sending DHCPv6 packets, ND packets, or IPv6 packets.
IPoEv6 access can be classified into common IPoEv6 access, IPoEoVLANv6 access, and IPoEoQv6 access based on different protocol stacks. In IPoEv6 access mode, users can directly access the Internet using web browsers, without having to install client dial-up software on their PCs.
The service models of different carriers may differ, and the operating modes of home gateways may also differ on a broadband access network. A home gateway may operate in bridging mode, numbered routing mode, or unnumbered routing mode.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring IPoEv6 access, complete the following tasks:
Load BRAS license files (For details, see the HUAWEI NetEngine 8000 F SeriesRouterConfiguration Guide-System Management.)
Configuring AAA Schemes to configure authentication, authorization, and accounting schemes
Configuring RADIUS, based on the protocol used by the AAA schemes
Configuring AAA Schemes for a Domain to bind authentication, authorization, and accounting schemes to the user domain
Configuring Servers for a Domain to bind a RADIUS or HWTACACS server to the user domain
Enable IPv6 on the interfaces and configure IPv6 addresses (link-local addresses for Layer 2 access) on the interfaces
If the link-local address is deleted or IPv6 is disabled on an interface or globally, the IPv6 protocol on the BAS interface goes down, and IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack users who access the BAS interface are logged out.
- Configuring an Authentication Mode
- This section describes several authentication modes. Configure an authentication mode based on networking requirements.
- Configuring an Address Assignment Mode
- The address assignment modes supported by the NetEngine 8000 F include NDRA, DHCPv6 (IA_NA), DHCPv6 (IA_PD), DHCPv6 (IA_NA)+PD (IA_PD), and NDRA+DHCPv6 (IA_PD). Configure an address assignment mode based on networking requirements.
- Binding a Sub-interface to a VLAN
- The NetEngine 8000 F processes tagged user packets received from different types of users in different manners to ensure proper packet forwarding.
- Configuring a BAS Interface
- When an interface is used for broadband access, you need to configure it as a BAS interface, and then specify the user access type and attributes for the interface.
- Verifying the IPoEv6 Access Configuration
- After configuring IPoEv6 access, you can view IPoEv6 access configurations.
