Create IPv6 Addressing Mind Map

Addressing is the biggest difference between IPv4 and IPv6. Think about IPv6 addresses
for a few moments—the terms, the structure, the types, and anything related to address-
ing. Then make a mind map that collects all the addressing concepts and terms into one
mind map.

When thinking about addressing, try to organize the information to your liking. There is no
one right answer. However, if you want some guidance on how to organize the information,
some of the concepts and terms can be organized by type of address. For instance, link-
local addresses are one type. In that part of the mind map, you could list all terms and facts
about link-local addresses, as shown in Figure P8-1.

Chapter 28, “Fundamentals of IP Version 6,” through Chapter 30, “Implementing IPv6
Addressing on Routers,” contain most of the IPv6 addressing concepts in this book. Try to
fit all the addressing terms from the “Key Terms” sections of those chapters into the map,
along with all IPv6 addressing concepts and the values that identify an address as being a
particular type of IPv6 address.

Create IPv6 Configuration and Verification Command Mind Map

Create a command mind map for IPv6 router commands. Break it into two major sections:
addressing and static routes. Inside each, break the commands into configuration and verifi-
cation commands.

Appendix L, “Mind Map Solutions,” lists sample mind map answers, but as usual, your mind
map can and will look different.

Do Labs
Depending on your chosen lab tool, here are some suggestions for what to do in lab:

Pearson Network Simulator: The full Pearson ICND1 or CCNA simulator has practice
for the usual types of activities, as well as a special type of lab that lets you practice IPv6
addressing math processes by using commands in the lab. Check out all the IPv6 labs,
but make sure to use the IPv6 Subnet ID Calculation and IPv6 EUI-64 Calculation labs as
well. And as always in Part Review, use the configuration scenario and troubleshooting
scenario labs.

Config Labs: As always, take advantage of the Config Labs for this book part in the
author’s blog; launch from blog.certskills.com/ccent/ and navigate to the Hands-on
Config labs.

Other: If using other lab tools, as a few suggestions: Getting used to IPv6 addresses takes
some time. Do more than a few repetitions of configuring different IPv6 addresses in a
small topology. Then use all the IPv6 show commands, and pay close attention to all the
special IPv6 addresses created on each interface. Then add static IPv6 routes to match
your subnets.
