Hi everyone,
I have been asked to set up a pure IPv6 test lab environment to see how to configure IPv6 settings in our Layer 3 switches and Layer 2 switches. I have a Cisco catalyst 3750, 2960G, a Dell PowerEdge 1950 acting as my DHCPv6 server, and a Dell PowerEdge 1855 Chassis with a Dell PowerEdge 1955 blade in it acting as my DNS and Active Directory server and a laptop with Windows 7 on it. On the 3750 I have my SVI's created for my vlan 20 and vlan 100
vlan 20
Layer3SW#sh run int vlan 20
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 245 bytes
!
interface Vlan20
no ip address
ipv6 address 2620:xxxx:8000:2012::1/64
ipv6 enable
ipv6 nd prefix 2620:xxxx:8000:2012::/64 infinite infinite no-autoconfig
ipv6 nd managed-config-flag
ipv6 dhcp relay destination 2620:xxxx:8000:5000:1:1:1:1
end
vlan 100
Layer3SW#sh run int vlan 100
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 183 bytes
!
interface Vlan100
no ip address
ipv6 address 2620:xxxx:8000:5000::1/64
ipv6 enable
ipv6 nd prefix 2620:xxxx:8000:5000::/64 infinite infinite no-autoconfig
ipv6 nd ra suppress
end
My vlan 20 is where my hosts that will be using stateful DHCP will be, and 2620:xxxx:8000:5000:1:1:1:1 is the address of my dhcp server. Everything seems to be working just fine for the DHCP vlan because the host running W7 is getting an address, the default gateway is being sent,the DNS server adress is being sent, and the domain suffix is being sent as well. The default gateway of hosts in vlan 20 is the link-local address of the SVI on the 3750, which seems to be normal and I can ping out of my subnet to other subnets; my two servers in the 5000 subnet.
When I go to try to ping my laptop from my two servers I get the Request timed out message. Nslookup is running fine and when I type in the host name of my laptop it resolves the hostname to the correct IPv6 address. I have staticly assigned IPv6 addresses to my servers and I gave them both the IPv6 address of my SVI (2620:xxxx:8000:5000::1) and I have tried putting in the link-local address as well, with no luck. I can ping the SVI and the two servers just fine, but I cannot ping outside the 5000 subnet. This seems like I might need a static route somewhere. I have checked my routing tables for both vlans and everything looks the same to me
vlan 100 routing table
Layer3SW#sh ipv6 route int vlan 100
IPv6 Routing Table - Default - 9 entries
Codes: C - Connected, L - Local, S - Static, U - Per-user Static route
B - BGP, R - RIP, D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external
ND - Neighbor Discovery
O - OSPF Intra, OI - OSPF Inter, OE1 - OSPF ext 1, OE2 - OSPF ext 2
ON1 - OSPF NSSA ext 1, ON2 - OSPF NSSA ext 2
C 2620:xxxx:8000:5000::/64 [0/0]
via Vlan100, directly connected
L 2620:xxxx:8000:5000::1/128 [0/0]
via Vlan100, receive
Vlan 20 routing table
Layer3SW#sh ipv6 route int vlan 20
IPv6 Routing Table - Default - 9 entries
Codes: C - Connected, L - Local, S - Static, U - Per-user Static route
B - BGP, R - RIP, D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external
ND - Neighbor Discovery
O - OSPF Intra, OI - OSPF Inter, OE1 - OSPF ext 1, OE2 - OSPF ext 2
ON1 - OSPF NSSA ext 1, ON2 - OSPF NSSA ext 2
C 2620:xxxx:8000:2012::/64 [0/0]
via Vlan20, directly connected
L 2620:xxxx:8000:2012::1/128 [0/0]
via Vlan20, receive
I know this is long so I included a summary.
TL;DR
I have a vlan 20 (2620:xxxx:8000:2012::/64)where all hosts that use DHCP are. I can ping hosts outside my 2012 subnet just fine. I cannot ping hosts outside my 5000 subnet which is where I have my staticaly assigned servers (vlan 100). I'm not sure if I am using the correct default gateway or if I use the link-local of te SVI. I think I need a static route somewhere.
If you need anymore information, I have it.
-Thank you,
Jeremy
