for a variable scale of networks. ACL, 802.1x, IP Source Guard and Dynamic ARP Inspection
provide robust security strategy. QoS and IGMP snooping/filtering optimize voice and video
application. Link aggregation (LACP) increases aggregated bandwidth, optimizing the transport
of business critical data. SNMP, RMON, WEB/Telnet/SSH Log-in bring abundant management
policies. T2500G-10TS switch integrates multiple functions with excellent performance, and is
friendly to manage, which can fully meet the need of the users demanding higher networking
performance.

4.1.6 System IPv6
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), also called IPng (IP next generation), was developed by the
IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) as the successor to IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4).
Compared with IPv4, IPv6 increases the IP address size from 32 bits to 128 bits; this solves the
IPv4 address exhaustion problem.
IPv6 features
IPv6 has the following features:
1. Adequate address space: The source and destination IPv6 addresses are both 128 bits
(16 bytes) long. IPv6 can provide 3.4 x 10
of hierarchical address division as well as allocation of public and private addresses.
2. Header format simplification: IPv6 cuts down some IPv4 header fields or move them to
IPv6 extension headers to reduce the load of basic IPv6 headers, thus making IPv6 packet
handling simple and improving the forwarding efficiency. Although the IPv6 address size is
four times that of IPv4 addresses, the size of basic IPv6 headers is 40 bytes and is only
twice that of IPv4 headers (excluding the Options field).
3. Flexible extension headers: IPv6 cancels the Options field in IPv4 packets but introduces
38
addresses to completely meet the requirements
multiple extension headers. In this way, IPv6 enhances the flexibility greatly to provide
scalability for IP while improving the handling efficiency. The Options field in IPv4 packets
contains 40 bytes at most, while the size of IPv6 extension headers is restricted by that of
IPv6 packets.
4. Built-in security: IPv6 uses IPSec as its standard extension header to provide end-to-end
security. This feature provides a standard for network security solutions and improves the
interoperability between different IPv6 applications.
17
5. Automatic address configuration: To simplify the host configuration, IPv6 supports
stateful and stateless address configuration.
Stateful address configuration means that a host acquires an IPv6 address and related
information from a server (for example, DHCP server).
Stateless address configuration means that a host automatically configures an IPv6
address and related information on basis of its own link-layer address and the prefix
information advertised by a router.
In addition, a host can generate a link-local address on basis of its own link-layer address
and the default prefix (FE80::/64) to communicate with other hosts on the link.
6. Enhanced neighbor discovery mechanism: The IPv6 neighbor discovery protocol is a
group of Internet control message protocol version 6 (ICMPv6) messages that manages
the information exchange between neighbor nodes on the same link. The group of ICMPv6
messages takes the place of Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) message, Internet Control
Message Protocol version 4 (ICMPv4) router discovery message, and ICMPv4 redirection
message to provide a series of other functions.
Introduction to IPv6 address
1. IPv6 address format
An IPv6 address is represented as a series of 16-bit hexadecimals, separated by colons (:).
An IPv6 address is divided into eight groups, and the 16 bits of each group are represented
by four hexadecimal numbers which are separated by colons, for example,
2001:0d02:0000:0000:0014: 0000:0000:0095. The hexadecimal letters in IPv6 addresses
are not case-sensitive.
To simplify the representation of IPv6 addresses, zeros in IPv6 addresses can be handled
as follows:
Leading zeros in each group can be removed. For example, the above-mentioned
address can be represented in shorter format as 2001:d02:0:0:14:0:0:95.
Two colons (::) may be used to compress successive hexadecimal fields of zeros at the
beginning, middle, or end of an IPv6 address. For example, the above-mentioned
address can be represented in the shortest format as 2001:d02::14:0:0:95.
Note:
Two colons (::) can be used only once in an IPv6 address to represent the longest
successive hexadecimal fields of zeros. Otherwise, the device is unable to determine how
many zeros double-colons represent when converting them to zeros to restore a 128-bit
IPv6 address.
An IPv6 address consists of two parts: address prefix and interface ID. The address prefix
and the interface ID are respectively equivalent to the network ID and the host ID in an IPv4
address.
18
(currently assigned)
(to be assigned in future)
Anycast addresses are taken from unicast
address space and are not syntactically
An IPv6 address prefix is represented in "IPv6 address/prefix length" format, where "IPv6
address" is an IPv6 address in any of the above-mentioned formats and "prefix length" is a
decimal number indicating how many leftmost bits from the preceding IPv6 address are
used as the address prefix.
2. IPv6 address classification
IPv6 addresses fall into three types: unicast address, multicast address, and anycast
address.
Unicast address: An identifier for a single interface, on a single node. A packet that is
sent to a unicast address is delivered to the interface identified by that address.
Multicast address: An identifier for a set of interfaces (typically belonging to different
nodes), similar to an IPv4 multicast address. A packet sent to a multicast address is
delivered to all interfaces identified by that address. There are no broadcast addresses
in IPv6. Their function is superseded by multicast addresses.
Anycast address: An identifier for a set of interfaces (typically belonging to different
nodes). A packet sent to an anycast address is delivered to one of the interfaces
identified by that address (the nearest one, according to the routing protocols’ measure
of distance).
The type of an IPv6 address is designated by the first several bits called format prefix. The
following table lists the mappings between address types and format prefixes.
Type Format Prefix (binary) IPv6 Prefix ID
Unassigned address 00…0 (128 bits) ::/128
Loopback address 00…1 (128 bits) ::1/128

IPv6 unicast address can be classified into several types, including global unicast address,
link-local address, and site-local address. The two most common types are introduced
below:
Global unicast address
A Global unicast address is an IPv6 unicast address that is globally unique and is
routable on the global Internet.
Global unicast addresses are defined by a global routing prefix, a subnet ID, and an
interface ID. Except for addresses that start with binary 000, all global unicast
addresses have a 64-bit interface ID. The IPv6 global unicast address allocation uses
the range of addresses that start with binary value 001 (2000::/3). The figure below
shows the structure of a global unicast address.
Figure 4-8 Global Unicast Address Format
An interface ID is used to identify interfaces on a link. The interface ID must be unique to
the link. It may also be unique over a broader scope. In many cases, an interface ID will
be the same as or based on the link-layer address of an interface. Interface IDs used in
global unicast and other IPv6 address types must be 64 bits long and constructed in the
modified extended universal identifier (EUI)-64 format.
For all IEEE 802 interface types (for example, Ethernet and FDDI interfaces), Interface
IDs in the modified EUI-64 format are constructed in the following way:
the first three octets (24 bits) are taken from the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI)
of the 48-bit link-layer address (the media access control, or MAC, address) of the
interface, the fourth and fifth octets (16 bits) are a fixed hexadecimal value of FFFE, and
the last three octets (24 bits) are taken from the last three octets of the MAC address.
The construction of the interface ID is completed by setting the universal/local (U/L)
bit--the seventh bit of the first octet--to a value of 0 or 1. A value of 0 indicates a locally
administered identifier; a value of 1 indicates a globally unique IPv6 interface identifier.
Take MAC address 0012:0B0A:2D51 as an example. Insert FFFE to the middle of the
address to get 0012:0BFF:FE0A:2D51. Then set the U/L bit to 1 to obtain an interface ID
in EUI-64 format as 0212:0BFF:FE0A:2D51.
Link-local address
A link-local address is an IPv6 unicast address that can be automatically configured on
any interface using the link-local prefix FE80::/10 (1111 1110 10) and the interface
identifier in the modified EUI-64 format. Link-local addresses are used in the neighbor
discovery protocol and the stateless autoconfiguration process. Nodes on a local link
