Chapter 14. IPv6 Routing Table and Static Routes

The previous chapters examine IPv6 and related protocols, such as ICMPv6 and ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery protocol. Those chapters also discuss the different IPv6 address types, including global unicast, link-local, and multicast addresses. This chapter and the next two examine the routing of IPv6 packets, including static routing, EIGRP for IPv6, and OSPFv3.

Routing IPv6 is very similar to routing IPv4. The protocols have simply been redesigned or extended to support IPv6. The objective of this chapter and the next two is to highlight the operational differences between routing IPv4 and IPv6, along with the differences in configuration and verification commands. These chapters assume some knowledge ...
