IPv6 IPSec

scikara

Maybe someone can help me with the problem I'm having:

I'm trying to establish IPv6 IPSec tunnels between two routers in a point-to-point configuration using IOS v 12.3(6), like in the below configuration.

PC1------Router1-------Router2------PC2

After reading the cisco documentation, this is apparently not possible. I quote:

"Currently, IPv6 IPSec is only available for the control plane. IPv6 IPSec for the data plane will be available in a future release, Implementing Security for IPv6"

As an alternative, I have tried to use IPv6-to-IPv4 tunnel (shown below). But I cant get anything to trigger the ISAKMP transfer (and hence setup the IPSec tunnel.

PC1--(IPv6)--Router1--(IPv4 tunnel)--Router2--(IPv6)--PC2

Does anyone have any suggestions? Is it just not possible at the moment to implement IPv6 and IPSec on cisco routers?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

I don't have much to offer as far as IPv6, but I am interested in seeing whether a GRE tunnel would do the trick as documented here:

It would be nice if you could share your results.
