Purchasing IPv6 Addresses

I know that this isn't a Cisco specific question, but I'm curious as to how I would go about reserving a block of IPv6 addresses for my company. I have seen some people suggest on other forums that we're supposed to use the ISP supplied addresses. However since NAT isn't a part of IPv6 then we would be at the mercy of our ISP and could never change ISP's without a painful IP address change internally.
Thanks in advance.

Take a look at http://blog.ioshints.info/2011/02/ipv6-provider-independent-addresses.html
You have a few options.
- Get Provider Independent address space (you need to be multi-homed, plus a few other requirements)
- Trust that renumbering is easier in an IPv6 network
- Look at solutions like LISP
- use NPT66 (1:1 IPv6 NAT)

IPv6 Addressing Point to Point Links in the enterprise

For an enterprise, it doesn't seem to make sense to use Global addressing for point to point, transit-only links and loopbacks.
Link-local only addressing breaks debugging tools like traceroute, DNS, etc.
Is Unique Local the correct choice for this?
I've searched quite a bit and I've not found a lot of discussion about scope selection for point to point links. Some RFCs such as 6164 imply Global scope vs Unique Local scope usage is a preference. Most discussions of point to point addressing focus on bit length. I'm assuming this means design concerns are agnostic toward scope selection.
Is anyone aware of documentation I've missed or have any recommendations in this area?
If ULA was the correct choice, address hierarchy might look like this:
DataNetwork1 -- Router1 -- ULA.1.1 -- Link -- ULA1.2 -- Agg Router -- Core
DataNetwork2 -- Router2 -- ULA.2.1 -- Link -- ULA2.2 -- Agg Router /
DataNetwork3 -- Router3 -- ULA.3.1 -- Link -- ULA3.2 -- Agg Router /
The network core would have summarized entries for DataNetwork[1|2|3] and ULA[1|2|3]. IE, there would be a Global hierarchy and a ULA hierarchy.

Scott,
Let me break this down into some categories for you.
Address selection:
I believe that best practice is to use Global Unicast Addressing everywhere (coupled with a proper security policy at your edge). ULA was a compromise for Site Local never being properly defined and whilst it can be used in the same way as GUA I don't believe it is worth it. Irrespective of what you use (GUA or ULA), subject to your security and routing policy traceroute will work from both ends (e.g. you tracing out, someone tracing in)
Address masking:
The general rule of thumb is that you allocate /64s to eveything and then mask down to the appropriate mask for the function you are expecting (P.S. Forget everything you learnt about IPv4 address conservation). If you are using /127 masks then in theory every p2p link in your network is either a 0 (::) or a 1 (::1)
e.g.
traceroute HostB:
1     2001:1234:abcd:1::1
2     2001:1234:abcd:2::1
3     2001:1234:abcd:3::1
4     2001::4:10
The only exception to this is loopbacks, you can sequentially allocate /128s from the same /64 block
NOTE: /127 support is recent and may not be supported by some vendors, in this case use /126 masking (same as you would use /30s in IPv4)
If you have a /48 ( a normal enterise allocation) or larger then this should not be an issue ( you have access to 65536 x /64s) the only reason you would consider ULA for infrastructure numbering is because you have a small IPv6 pool. I would still argue you should get more IPv6 addresses than use ULA.
I hope this helps
Cheers

Connect to server using IPv6 address in afp URL

I'm not sure whether this is the correct forum for this question, but does anyone know whether I can specify an IPv6 address in the "Connect to Server" dialog?
I've setup IPv6 over direct-wired ethernet between my MBP and Mini. Using ping6, I can ping one from the other (but only when I specify -I en0)
I've tried the following URLs:
afp://[fe80::0216:cbff:dead:beef]
afp://[fe80::0216:cbff:dead:beef%en0]
I think the problem might be because I don't have an IPv6 router between the two hosts.
Thanks.
MacBook Pro 15 2.0GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8) mini 1.83GHz

I have the same problem and for me it extends to everything from SSH to HTTP. I think that mac has a bug in it networking. I can't get it to work on any mac I've tried. Can your mini connect to your laptop?
I've been googling for 3 days and can't find any solution.
MBP Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Can't get ipv6 address assigned correctly.

I use NetworkManager and dhclient for auto-configuration but it has some weird problems.
When I boot up my laptop, I only have chance to get access to ipv6 network, when I fail, I tried to delete the connection in Network Management Settings, and then added a new profile, disable and then enable the network again. Sometimes it works well, but sometimes it failed to auto-config.
If I use the command:
$ ip -6 rout
then I'll get the following message:
unreachable fe80::/64 dev lo proto kernel metric 256 error -101
fe80::/64 dev wlan0 proto kernel metric 256
default via fe80::2e0:2ff:fe54:59 dev wlan0 proto static metric 1
every time the default gateway is configured well, sometimes the address the address is missed , and if I do the following:
$ ping6 -I wlan0 -c 4 fe80::2e0:2ff:fe54:59
It responses normally.
PING fe80::2e0:2ff:fe54:59(fe80::2e0:2ff:fe54:59) from fe80::1034:56ff:fe78:9124 wlan0: 56 data bytes

response nothing!
Then I switch into Windows 7, if something like above happened, then I managed to set the MAC address to a random value such as 12-34-56-78-91-23, soon, the problem will be corrected, I'll get a new ipv6 address assigned by DHCPv6 server. If I switch back to arch, set the MAC address in NetworkManager, it didn't have function at most time, and the ipv6 address even won't change!
Can anyone help me with this problem?
by the way, I never get ipv6 address when I use dhcpcd.

How to verify if an IPV6 address entered in a textbox is valid ?

Hi,
How to verify if an IPV6 address entered in a text box is valid. I have a swing application. Until now we used only IPV4 address and we had a gui component with only four entries, which checked if the number entered is <= 255, so the user had to enter a correct address. Now with IPV6 there are IPV6 addresses, IPV4 mapped addresses, IPV6 zero compressed addresses and leading zeroes dropped kinds. We cannot supply a fix gui component.
So if I provide a textcomponent which accepts strings - how do i check if the ip addresses entered by the user is valid. Can I use INET6Address to do this ? is there a way ?
Thanks.

InetAddress.getByName(String host)
If it returns an Inet6Address without throwing an exception, I guess that would work.

IPv6 Address Management and Security Questions

I'm trying to draft an IPv6-based version of our location's current routing configuration in anticipation of when our ISP will finally roll it out, and address management has been giving me the biggest headache - ironic, considering IPv6 was supposed to simplify address allocation.
My first config draft was made assuming that I would be getting a static /56 or /60 prefix from the ISP, and I was just going to insert the prefix into my DHCP pools and there would be no issues. That was before reading around and discovering that some ISPs are considering prefix delegation (PD) for both residential and business accounts instead of static blocks. Now I have questions about how to stick as close to the current IPv4 configuration as possible.
For the PD scenario, what I am looking at now are two addresses ranges for each network - a ULA /120 space that I want to control using stateful DHCPv6, and the global space which can be /64 and auto-configured. That way there will be a "private" address space for internal routing in the event of a prefix change or an extended outage. But I'm not sure how the config should look for such a scenario. What I have drafted so far is this:
ipv6 dhcp pool DHCP6_INTERNAL
address prefix FDAB::1:0/120
domain-name whatever.net
dns-server FDAB::1:1
ipv6 dhcp pool DHCP6_DMZ-WIFI
address prefix FDAB::2:0/120
domain-name guest.whatever.net
dns-server FDAB::2:1

ipv6 nd managed-config-flag
ipv6 nd other-config-flag
Will this config work? By which I mean: will the DHCPv6 servers provide ULA addresses, and will SLAAC work for global address allocation? If not, what needs to be changed?
Also, another question. I found a few references to a prefix name (the "ISP-PREFIX") which can be used as part of a static IPv6 address on an interface, which is a good idea in case the prefix changes. But that brings up another concern - if the prefix changes, that will invalidate ACLs referencing the global addresses using the previous prefix. Is there anything similar to the prefix name string that can be used in ACLs to keep this from occurring?

DHCPv6-PD is not necessarily dynamic the same way as DHCP was with the public IPv4 addresses in the IPv4 world.
While the outside network (PPPoE, DHCPv6, anything) might be truly dynamic and changing with possibly every login session, the DHCPv6 delegated prefix might be tied to your login credentials or DHCPv6 client's DUID after the first connection. A bit like a DHCP lease reservation.
If that is the case, there is some possibility that your ISP will run reverse route injection, and will always route your "fixed" prefix to the currently active dynamic "outside" address.
Talk to your ISP and have them confirm that, once the PD'd /48 or /56 is initially assigned, it won't change, and that the same prefix will be delegated every time. Then you can treat it as if it were fully static, and you won't have to go down the ULA path.
I contacted one of our local ISPs, and they're doing it exactly that way: PPPoE for IPv4 and IPv6 (fully dynamic), and DHCPv6-PD with the /48 tied to the PPPoE login credentials. I might change to that ISP sooner or later.
With my current ISP, my IPv6 access is 6RD based. I get a /60, with my current public ipv4 address (by DHCP) embedded into those 60 bits. Readressing is bound to happen sooner or later, and it happens every so often, and it breaks my IPv6 ACLs.
I'm also looking for a way to write IPv6 ACLs with wildcard bits, not prefix/mask, so I can use them with ZBFW. So far, no sign of it.
A few more comments:
ULA addressing:
It may look tempting, plausible and intuitive to use dual global and ULA addressing.
I started this way as well. However, it turns out that Windows 7 has (had?) some issues with proper source address selection. The "longest common prefix" rule never seemed to work properly. In some cases, it would pick the global address to talk to ULA hosts, or stubbornly insist to use the ULA address to talk to an IPv6 internet host. It was a frustrating experience. Be sure to test this to the full extent (and back, and again and then some more) with every operating system you intend to use.
Using /120:
Be sure to test this as well, and very thoroughly. Subnet masks longer than /64 are sometimes called "uncharted territory" in IPv6. Longer subnet masks will break SLAAC, and there may be (embedded) devices that will not react benevolently to a subnet mask other than /64, or simply lack support for DHCPv6.
adjust-mss
I see you have "ip tcp adjust-mss 1300". While PMTUd may be mandatory with IPv6, I found it being broken already :-( . "ipv6 tcp adjust-mss .... " is now a separate command since IOS 15.4(1). I would suggest considering it, depending with your experience with PMTUd on IPv6.

Why do the connected devices to the router have the smae IPV6 address?

Hi,
Now I meet the issue
The operation steps on router (WRVS4400N):
1.Set the IP mode as Dual-stack IP and then save
2.Disable the IPV4 DHCP server
3.Use other deivces to connect the router.
The connected devices have the same IP address(2005:123:456:789::1),I am confused,why is it?
please help.
Thanks!

Hello,
The WRVS4400N is in fact assigning IPv6 addresses to all the devices connected to it, but the WRVS4400N does not show a table with the IPv6 addresses assigned to each device connected, it only shows the IPv4 addresses and the respective MAC address for each device. The IPv6 of the WRVS4400N is an aggregetable global unicast IPv6 address (See the image below)
If you go to Setup > LAN you will see that you cannot modify the prefix of the IPv6 address, all you can modify is the postifx and prefix length field (As you can see in the image below).
For more information about these fields and general IPv6 configuration, please refer to the article IPv6 Configuration on WRVS4400N Wireless-N Gigabit Security Routers
The only way you have to see the IPv6 address assigned to each device connected to the WRVS4400N is to check on each device the IPv6 address assigned. The WRVS4400N does not provide this information. You can see from the below picture the IPv6 address assigned to my computer. As you can see, the WRVS4400N assign the the computer the prefix 2002:c0a8::/6. Then you can see the actual IPv6 address which is 2002:c0a8:0:b182:e6a:9b0e:cdcf.
As you can see, the initial part (The prefix) remains the same, since these are the first 64 bits of the whole IPv6 address. The other 64 bits of the IPv6 address represents the interface ID, that is, the device that is connected to the WRVS4400N.
I hope you find this information helpful. If you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Purchase Order Smartform - Purchase Organization address

Hello all,
I am working with a Purchase Order smartform. I need to pullout Purchase Organization address details (like Name, Street, City, Country, Phone) into the form.
Can anyone please help me.
Thanks

Hello Raju,
You will get the purchase organization address in T024E.
Goto SE16 for T024E and enter your purchase organization. You will see TXADR field. take the data on that field and goto SO10 tcode and open it. you will see address.

How to disable ipv6 address autoconfiguration ???

I am trying to disable ipv6 stateless address autoconfiguration to implement what this document describes:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4554/6maoq01o3?a=view
There are several problems though:
1)The manual says that something must be put inside the hostname6.xxx file but then goes on to give the command as it should be given from the command line instead of the content of the file. The manual should provide some form of exapmle content for the file.
2)I go to /etc/inet/ndpd.conf and put "ifdefault StatelessAddrConf false" inside, then I pkill -HUP in.ndpd and finally I issue ifconfig eri0 inet6 token fe80::c/10. However nothing happens. The interface address remains the one generated through autoconfiguration.
Could someone that has knowledge of this subject provide any help?
Thanks very much,
Thanasis

Hi,
I have a same problem, and think we didn't understand the documentation.
Here is the link of the ndpd.conf configuration page:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4554/6maoq01qt?a=view#ipv6-ref-10
I think this is the right sintax:
if
Sets per-interface parameters. Use the following syntax:
if interface [variable-value]
Table 11�3 /etc/inet/ndpd.conf Interface Configuration Variables
StatelessAddrConf
True
Controls whether the node configures its IPv6 address through stateless address autoconfiguration. If False is declared in ndpd.conf, then the address must be manually configured. For more information, refer to How to Configure a User-Specified IPv6 Token.
I think the variable is this: StatelessAddrConf
if-variable-name StatelessAddrConf false
I think: if StatelessAddrConf false
But I found the 'false' parameter with uppercase and lowercase letter.
(It is not working for me!)
And I found another configuration file, what is include the rules of the address (/usr/sbin/ipaddrsel ).
Here is the link:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5166/6mbb1kq56?a=view
Maybe, I found the solution.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4554/6maoq01qt?a=view#ipv6-ref-10
You can creat a logical interface, and you can set the IP address of this interface.
Example 11�6 Adding a Logical IPv6 Interface With the -addif Option of the ifconfig Command
The following form of the ifconfig command creates the hme0:3 logical interface:
// this is teh example, and it is not perfect on Sol10
# ifconfig hme0 inet6 addif up
Created new logical interface hme0:3
This form of ifconfig verifies the creation of the new interface:
# ifconfig hme0:3 inet6
hme0:3: flags=2000841<UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2
inet6 inet6 fe80::203:baff:fe11:b321/10
Here is my solution:
ifconfig e1000g0 inet6 addif 1234:0000:0000:0000:0200:50FF:FE09:B980/10
ifconfig e1000g0:1 inet6 up
# ifconfig -a6

Static ipv6 address from a /64

Hi all
I have a cisco 6500 that i configured a /64 on int1/39 that has a linux server connected to it and supressed RAs. On this server i assigned a static ip,
2001:x:77:4::2. i can ping to/from the server with no issues. However when doing a show ipv6 neighbors i still see the auto config ipv6 on fast1/39.
interface FastEthernet1/39
ip address x.x.x.33 255.255.255.240
ip flow ingress
speed 100
duplex full
ipv6 address 2001:x:77:4::1/64
ipv6 nd ra suppress
spanning-tree portfast edge
My question why is that attached server getting an auto config ipv6 address when i have the supress command under interface. Also is it correct to assign a /64 to an int/vlan and statically assign ips instead or should i move to a /56. I'm not really sure if what im doing is common or if it create issues.
TIA, Paul

Deepak, while i assigned a static ip to the server doing a show ipv6 neighbor shows this static ip and it also shows the auto config ip. Again based on my config above shouldnt it jsut show the static ip. Why is SLAAC in play here if i have
ipv6 nd ra suppress on the interface, will this setup cause issues.

note i can ping the static and auto config ip and the server lists both of them.

Hi!
My Cisco router is working fine with Ethernet and IPv6. There is a “little” problem concerning the promotion of IPv6 addresses under WLan. When I’m using WLan the router is not providing any IPv6 addresses, only IPv4. Do you have any clue why the router is not promoting the IPv6 addresses.
btw. I will post the config later on, when I’m at home.
Cheers

It´s an integrated AP!

IPv6 Address in Internal Enterprise

Hello All,
I was looking at a Pilot deploment of IPv6 in our Labs.
I was little confused with rgards to what should I use as IPv6 address on Internal Network Infrastructure and hosts.
This is when I jumped across BRKRST-2301 where Shanon McFarland gives some idea on use of IPv6 in the internal.
So what it said is:
1. ULA Only -- Not recommended as NAT 66 solution does not exist <-- Can I use NPT Solution. But it would require same no. of GUA as well.
2. ULA + Global -- More problems with DNS, DHCP and SAS <-- Is this really that difficult ?
3. Global Only -- Recommended but security folks are not ready.     <-- I could even not convince some R&S folks for this!!! Even though I am convinced.
Apart from this, if i use a GUA which is not allocated to anyone internally & then NPT it while going outside.
I would like to know your thoughts and what would you recommend to do.

Hi,
Reading many such things I think having GUA to end Hosts is best bet and that is what many people recommend to do.
I'm a bit confused since you say that all hosts will have 4 addresses but ULA must be used internally.
How will you dictate to every server and PC that they will only use their ULA addresses and ignore their global addresses for all internal communications? How will you monitor that this is actaully happening?
          <-- SAS should be used for this. Please refer this RFC and the problem statement it gives for SAS. But I am not sure every OS out there has implemented it correctly.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5220#page-12
You also state that all GUA addresses will be advertised to the Internet but these devices are not be reachable from the Internet. However you have just advertised these addresses to the Internet. I'm puzzled as to how you can achieve both conflicting requirements.
          <-- By this I actually meant that on all Infrastructure links and loopbacks of Routers we will use ULA, only end hosts will be given GUA and this GUA will be advertised into the routing protocol (exterior) for reachability. Both GUA and ULA in IGP. Advantage of this is that infrastructure network devices will not be reachable from Internet whatsoever.
I have had bad experiences with SP's in the past. Therefore I would not trust my IPv6 Security policy to them.
          <-- I agree, applying policies should be done at enterprise end must never trust SP.
For NAT 66, yes i am aware that it is still not available in major implementations, but some LB do that. So just was giving a thought.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6296
So I was just giving a thought:
1. To allocate ULA to Infrastructure Links and network devices.
2. Provide only GUA to end hosts. I too feel that should be the best approach.
Let me know on the 1st point. Thanks.
