Chapter 8 Lab 8-2, Using Manual IPv6 Tunnels with EIGRP for IPv6
Topology

Objecti ves
Configure EIGRP for IPv4.
Create a manual IPv6 tunnel.
Configure EIGRP for IPv6 across the tunnel.
Background
In this lab, you configure EIGRP for full connectivity between all IPv4 subnets. Then you create a manual IPv6
tunnel and run EIGRP for IPv6 over it.
Note: This lab uses Cisco 1841 routers with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T1 and the Advanced IP Services
image c1841-advipservicesk9-mz.124-24.T1.bin. You can use other routers (such as a 2801 or 2811) and
Cisco IOS Software versions if they have comparable capabilities and features. Depending on the router

model and Cisco IOS Software version, the commands available and output produced might vary from what is
shown in this lab.
Required Resources
3 routers (Cisco 1841 with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T1 Advanced IP Services or comparable)
Serial and console cables
Step 1: Prepare the routers for the lab.
Cable the network as shown in the topology diagram. Erase the startup configuration, and reload each router
to clear the previous configurations. Configure the hostnames as shown.
Step 2: Configure loopbacks and physical interfaces.
Configure the loopback interfaces with IPv4 addresses and IPv6 addresses, where appropriate. Also
configure the serial interfaces with the IPv4 addresses shown in the diagram. Set the clock rates on the
appropriate interfaces, and issue the no shutdown command on all serial connections. Verify that you have
local subnet connectivity with ping.
R1( conf i g) # interface loopback0
R1( conf i g- i f ) # ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
R1( conf i g- i f ) # ipv6 address FEC0::1:1/112
R1( conf i g- i f ) # interface serial0/0/0
R1( conf i g- i f ) # ip address 172.16.12.1 255.255.255.0
R1( conf i g- i f ) # clockrate 64000
R1( conf i g- i f ) # bandwidth 64
R1( conf i g- i f ) # no shutdown

R2( conf i g) # interface loopback0
R2( conf i g- i f ) # ip address 10.1.2.1 255.255.255.0
R2( conf i g- i f ) # interface serial0/0/0
R2( conf i g- i f ) # ip address 172.16.12.2 255.255.255.0
R2( conf i g- i f ) # bandwidth 64
R2( conf i g- i f ) # no shutdown
R2( conf i g- i f ) # interface serial0/0/1
R2( conf i g- i f ) # ip address 172.16.23.2 255.255.255.0
R2( conf i g- i f ) # clockrate 64000
R2( conf i g- i f ) # bandwidth 64
R2( conf i g- i f ) # no shutdown

R3( conf i g) # interface loopback0
R3( conf i g- i f ) # ip address 10.1.3.1 255.255.255.0
R3( conf i g- i f ) # ipv6 address FEC0::3:1/112
R3( conf i g- i f ) # interface serial0/0/1
R3( conf i g- i f ) # ip address 172.16.23.3 255.255.255.0
R3( conf i g- i f ) # bandwidth 64
R3( conf i g- i f ) # no shutdown
Step 3: Configure EIGRP for IPv4.
Configure EIGRP for AS 1 for the major networks 172.16.0.0 and 10.0.0.0 on all three routers. Make sure that
you disable auto-summarization. You should have full IPv4 connectivity after this.
R1( conf i g) # router eigrp 1
R1( conf i g- r out er ) # no auto-summary
R1( conf i g- r out er ) # network 10.0.0.0
R1( conf i g- r out er ) # network 172.16.0.0

R2( conf i g) # router eigrp 1
R2( conf i g- r out er ) # no auto-summary
R2( conf i g- r out er ) # network 10.0.0.0
R2( conf i g- r out er ) # network 172.16.0.0

R3( conf i g) # router eigrp 1
R3( conf i g- r out er ) # no auto-summary
R3( conf i g- r out er ) # network 10.0.0.0
R3( conf i g- r out er ) # network 172.16.0.0
Step 4: Configure a manual IPv6 tunnel.
A tunnel is a logical interface that acts as a logical connection between two endpoints. It is similar to a
loopback interface in that there is no corresponding physical interface, but it is different in that there is more
than one router involved. An IPv6 manual tunnel is a type of tunnel that has hard-coded source and
destination addresses, with an IPv6 address on the tunnel itself.
a. Use the interface tunnel number command to create a manual tunnel. For simplicity, use tunnel number
0 on both routers. Configure the tunnel mode for a manual tunnel with the tunnel mode ipv6ip
command. Then configure an IPv6 address with the ipv6 address address/mask command. Finally,
assign source and destination addresses for the tunnel using the tunnel source address and tunnel
destination address commands. You can also specify the source by interface.
R1( conf i g) # interface tunnel0
R1( conf i g- i f ) # tunnel mode ipv6ip
R1( conf i g- i f ) # tunnel source serial0/0/0
R1( conf i g- i f ) # tunnel destination 172.16.23.3
R1( conf i g- i f ) # ipv6 address FEC0::13:1/112

R3( conf i g) # interface tunnel0
R3( conf i g- i f ) # tunnel mode ipv6ip
R3( conf i g- i f ) # tunnel source serial0/0/1
R3( conf i g- i f ) # tunnel destination 172.16.12.1
R3( conf i g- i f ) # ipv6 address FEC0::13:3/112
b. Verify that you can ping across the tunnel from one side to the other using the tunnel address of the
opposite router.
R1# ping FEC0::13:3

Type escape sequence t o abor t .
Sendi ng 5, 100- byt e I CMP Echos t o FEC0: : 13: 3, t i meout i s 2 seconds:
! ! ! ! !
Success r at e i s 100 per cent ( 5/ 5) , r ound- t r i p mi n/ avg/ max = 64/ 66/ 68 ms

R3# ping FEC0::13:1

Type escape sequence t o abor t .
Sendi ng 5, 100- byt e I CMP Echos t o FEC0: : 13: 1, t i meout i s 2 seconds:
! ! ! ! !
Success r at e i s 100 per cent ( 5/ 5) , r ound- t r i p mi n/ avg/ max = 64/ 66/ 68 ms
Note: Although not done in this lab, you can configure the tunnel interfaces using only the ipv6 enabl e
command, instead of unicast IPv6 addresses. This command configures the tunnel interfaces for IPv6
operation and assigns automatically generated link-local addresses to them. This allows the tunnel to
transport IPv6 packets and an IGP can be run over it. The individual endpoints of the tunnel are not
globally addressable, but the tunnel does not require global unicast addresses.

Step 5: Configure EIGRP for IPv6 over a tunnel.
a. Enable IPv6 routing with the ipv6 unicast-routing command on R1 and R3. Configure EIGRP for IPv6 on
those routers to run over the tunnel and advertise the loopback interfaces into IPv6-EIGRP AS 100.
R1( conf i g) # ipv6 unicast-routing
R1( conf i g) # interface loopback0
R1( conf i g- i f ) # ipv6 eigrp 100
R1( conf i g- i f ) # interface tunnel0
R1( conf i g- i f ) # ipv6 eigrp 100

R3( conf i g) # ipv6 unicast-routing
R3( conf i g) # interface loopback0
R3( conf i g- i f ) # ipv6 eigrp 100
R3( conf i g- i f ) # interface tunnel0
R3( conf i g- i f ) # ipv6 eigrp 100
b. Verify the configuration using the show ipv6 eigrp neighbor command.
R1# show ipv6 eigrp neighbor
I Pv6- EI GRP nei ghbor s f or pr ocess 100
%EI GRP 100 i s i n SHUTDOWN
c. IPv6 EIGRP routing is shut down by default. To enable IPv6-EIGRP for process 100, use the following
commands on R1 and R3.
R1( conf i g- i f ) # ipv6 router eigrp 100
R1( conf i g- r t r ) # no shutdown

d. Verify the configuration using the show ipv6 eigrp neighbors command.

Note: The link-local neighbor address is the IPv6 equivalent (AC10:1703) of the R3 serial interface IPv4
address (172.16.23.3).
e. Ping the R3 Lo0 IPv6 address from R1, and ping the R1 Lo0 IPv6 address from R3.
R1# ping FEC0::3:1

Type escape sequence t o abor t .

f. Use the following Tcl script on R1 and R3 to verify connectivity for R1 and R3.
R1# tclsh

foreach address {
10.1.1.1
10.1.2.1
10.1.3.1
172.16.12.1
172.16.12.2
172.16.23.2
172.16.23.3
FEC0::1:1
FEC0::3:1
FEC0::13:1
FEC0::13:3
} {
ping $address }
Were all pings successful?

g. Run the Tcl script on R2. Were all IP addresses reachable? Explain.

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router
and how many interfaces the router has. Rather than list all combinations of configurations for each
router class, this table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and serial
interfaces in the device. The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a
specific router might contain one. For example, for an ISDN BRI interface, the string in parenthesis
is the legal abbreviation that can be used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
