IPv6 Address Management Configuration
This section describes how to assign IPv6 addresses to access users and manage these IPv6 addresses.
- Overview of IPv6 Address Management
- IPv6 address management includes configuring a static IPv6 address, receiving an IPv6 address from the RADIUS server, and obtaining an IPv6 address dynamically.
- Configuring a DHCPv6 Relay Agent on the User Side
- When independent DHCPv6 servers allocate and manage addresses, the NetEngine 8000 F can be configured as the relay agent to implement redundancy backup and load balancing among the remote DHCPv6 servers.
- Configuring a Delegating Router
- The NetEngine 8000 F can be configured as a delegating router to allocate and recycle prefixes according to the requests of requesting routers.
- (Optional) Configuring DHCPv6 Service Parameters
- Configure transparent transmission of DHCPv6 packets, unicast communication, and two-message exchange between a DHCPv6 client and a DHCPv6 server based on actual network conditions.
- Configuring DHCPv6 (IA_NA) Address Allocation
- This section describes how to configure the NetEngine 8000 F to use DHCPv6 (IA_NA) to allocate IPv6 addresses when the CPE works in bridging mode.
- Configuring DHCPv6 (IA_PD) Prefix Allocation
- This section describes how to configure the NetEngine 8000 F to allocate prefixes to a CPE when the CPE works in unnumbered routing mode. The CPE allocates the prefixes to the attached host for the host to generate IPv6 addresses.
- Configuring DHCPv6 (IA_NA+IA_PD) Address Allocation
- This section describes how to configure the NetEngine 8000 F to use DHCPv6 to allocate IPv6 addresses and prefixes to the WAN interfaces on a CPE when the CPE works in numbered routing mode. The CPE sends the prefixes to the attached hosts for them to generate IPv6 addresses.
- Configuring NDRA Address Allocation
- This section describes how to configure the NetEngine 8000 F to use ND to allocate IPv6 addresses when the CPE works in bridging mode.
- Configuring NDRA+DHCPv6 (IA_PD) Address Allocation
- This section describes how to configure the NetEngine 8000 F to use ND to allocate IPv6 addresses to the WAN interfaces on a CPE and use DHCPv6 (IA_PD) to allocate prefixes to the CPE when the CPE works in numbered routing mode. The CPE allocates the prefixes to the attached hosts for them to generate IPv6 addresses.
- Configuration Examples for IPv6 Address Management
- This section provides several examples of IPv6 address management. Each configuration example includes the networking requirements, configuration notes, and configuration roadmap.
