How to set IPv6
| How to set IPv6 IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6) is a next-generation IP protocol designed by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) to replace the current version of the IP protocol (IPv4). The current version number of the IP protocol is 4 (referred to as IPv4), and its next version is IPv6. With the sharp shortage of IPv4 resources, it is believed that in the near future, IPv6 will become the standard for the latest generation of Internet addresses. Compared with IPv4, IPv6 has rich address resources, which consists of six segments of numbers separated by dots. The following describes how to set an IPv6 address in detail. method/step Step 1: Install the IPv6 protocol: Open the Control Panel, enter "Network and Internet" - "Network Connections" - right-click " Local Area Connection ", click Install in the pop-up Properties dialog box, then select "Protocol", click Add, You can install IPv6 into the project list. After the installation is complete, it will look like the following picture:
Step 2: Set the IPv6 address: Open the Control Panel, enter "Network and Internet" - "Network Connections" - right-click "Local Area Connection", and double-click "Internet Protocol Version 6 (Tcp/IP) in the pop-up Properties dialog box, In its properties box, select Manual, and enter the IPv6 address "3FFE:FFFF:7654:FEDA:1245:BA98:3210:4562" (since IPv6 is in the testing phase, you can freely enter its address to determine its address).
Step 3: Test IPv6 settings: Press "Win+R" to open the Run dialog box. Enter CMD and enter the "ipconfig" command in the pop-up MSDOS window to view all local IP address configurations.
Step 4: Configure the ISATAP tunnel. After completion, open the browser and enter the URL "http://ipv6.jmu.edu.cn/" to test the IPv6. On the page, if you can see a dancing tiger, It means that you are accessing the web page with IPv6. If the little tiger does not dance, you are accessing the web page with IPv4.
What is an ISATAP tunnel The full name of ISATAP (draft-ietf-ngtrans-ISATAP-23.txt) is Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol, which sandwiches the IPv4 address into the IPv6 address. When two ISATAP hosts communicate, the IPv4 address can be automatically extracted The communication can be established by establishing a Tunnel, and no other special network equipment is required, as long as the IPv4 network between them is smooth. Method for accessing IPv6 environment through ISATAP tunnel The IPv4 address of the Tsinghua University ISATAP tunnel router is: isatap.tsinghua.edu.cn The user sets the access point of the ISATAP tunnel as: isatap.tsinghua.edu.cn Tsinghua University ISATAP tunnel IPv6 address prefix is: 2402:f000:1:1501::/64 Configuration method (setting under Windows XP/2003) C:\>netsh netsh>int netsh interface>IPv6 netsh interface>IPv6>install netsh interface IPv6>ISATAP netsh interface IPv6 ISATAP>set router isatap.tsinghua.edu.cn After that, you should be able to see a v6 address prefixed with 2402:f000:1:1501: through ipconfig, and the hostid is 0:5efe:xxxx, where xxxx is your real IPv4 address, and you can access IPv6 resources.
