Questions and Answers

What does the flag 'A' signify in the RA messages sent from R1?

  • Indicates that R1 will not provide any configuration information to the client.
  • Informs the client to use DHCPv6 for address configuration.
  • Indicates the presence of additional optional configuration parameters.
  • Informs the client to use the IPv6 GUA prefix and create its own Interface ID. (correct)
  • Which of the following describes the Router Solicitation (RS) process?

  • A router sends an RA message every 30 seconds to all hosts.
  • A host requests an RA message from a router to learn about address configuration. (correct)
  • A router uses RS to directly assign IP addresses to clients.
  • A host sends an RA message to provide address configuration information.
  • What happens every 200 seconds in the context of R1's configuration?

  • R1 stops sending RA messages to conserve bandwidth.
  • R1 joins the all-routers multicast group again.
  • R1 sends RA messages to the all-nodes multicast address ff02::1. (correct)
  • R1 requests additional information from DHCPv6 servers.

    Study Notes

    SLAAC Overview

    • Hosts send Router Solicitation (RS) messages to request Router Advertisements (RA).
    • SLAAC can operate as a standalone service or in conjunction with DHCPv6.

    Enabling SLAAC on R1

    • R1 G0/0/1 interface has:
      • Link-local IPv6 address: fe80::1
      • Global Unicast Address (GUA): 2001:db8:acad:1::1
      • Subnet: 2001:db8:acad:1::/64
      • All-nodes multicast address: ff02::1
    • R1 joins the all IPv6 multicast group, sending RA messages to hosts every 200 seconds.

    Router Groups and RA Messaging

    • R1 responds to the IPv6 all-routers multicast address ff02::2.
    • Verification of group membership can be done with the show ipv6 interface command.

    SLAAC Only Configuration

    • RA messages from R1 have specific flags:
      • A = 1: Instructs clients to construct their own Interface ID using the advertised GUA prefix.
      • O = 0, M = 0: Clients use the RA's information exclusively without additional configurations.
    • Hosts use ICMPv6 RA messages for configuration, negating the need for DHCP.

    Duplicate Address Detection (DAD)

    • Hosts generate 64-bit interface identifiers via random generation or EUI-64.
    • DAD ensures IPv6 GUA uniqueness by sending ICMPv6 Neighbor Solicitation (NS) messages.

    Stateless DHCPv6 Operation

    • An RA indicating stateless DHCPv6 leads hosts to use RA for addressing and contact a DHCPv6 server for extra configurations.
    • The DHCPv6 server provides configuration parameters but does not maintain an address binding list.

    RA Configuration for Stateless DHCPv6

    • Enable stateless DHCPv6 on an interface with the command ipv6 nd other-config-flag, setting O flag to 1.
    • A flag = 1 indicates SLAAC, while O flag = 1 means to contact a DHCPv6 server for additional configuration.

    Stateful DHCPv6 Operation

    • If RA points to stateful DHCPv6, hosts receive all configuration information from the DHCPv6 server.
