Leading networking instructor rick graziani explains all the basics simply and clearly, one step at a time, providing all the details youll need to succeed. In this way ipv6 gains considerable independence of the underlying wide area network and can step over many hops of ipv4 subnets. If a tunnel is created manually, a border router cannot automatically obtain an ipv4 address at the end point.
This can aid network administrators who are migrating ipv4 to ipv6 networks and wish to preserve ipv4 addressing for compatibility andor tracking purposes. Therefore, these tunnels are pointtomultipoint in nature. An ipv6 static route to an interface has a metric of 1, not 0 as in ipv4. We will look at characteristics and requirements to implement ipv4 compatible tunnel, and highlight its pros and cons.

Configuring no ipv6 unicastrouting disables the ipv6 routing capabilities of the router and the router acts as an ipv6 endstation. Tunneling encapsulates ipv6 traffic within ipv4 packets so they can be sent over an ipv4 backbone, allowing isolated ipv6 end systems and routers to communicate without the need to upgrade the ipv4 infrastructure that exists between them.
