How to get an IPv4 router to ping an IPv6 router (Packet Tracer training)

Bobay4224

Summary: I have an IPv4 network (completely separate from the IPv6 network) which is fully operational and is configured in an extremely basic way. Combining the IPv6 network to the IPv4 network, I have a switch. I am unable to use serial in this task between the routers. My goal is to get the 2 separate networks to ping.


I have uploaded  a packet tracer activity with a general idea of what I need to ping. Sadly, I do not have the expertise to finish this assignment. Also, I am not quite sure if it is even possible at all with the topology given. If so, please explain why the topology is impossible. Any advice would be amazing, thanks ~Michael

Note: Both routers are missing an IP route command. The IPv4 network has basic router rip enabled, but no static routes. There are also no static routes on the IPv6 network either, I was afraid they would be of no assistance if the topology is bad. Thanks again.

The approaches to make this work are horrific, so don't go there.

Instead dual-home the networks, loading both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses onto all the devices wanting connectivity.
