CCNA IPv6 Static & Default Routing End-to-End Practice

Bundle lab · $29.99

Hands-on IPv6 static and default routing across a 3-router, 2-LAN topology with end-user hosts. You will enable IPv6 unicast routing, apply IPv6 addressing, configure hub-and-spoke static and default routes, and validate bidirectional host reachability. The guide provides scenario context, step-by-step tasks with the why behind each action, and targeted troubleshooting.

Learning objectives

• Enable IPv6 unicast routing on IOS routers
• Apply IPv6 addressing to LAN and point-to-point transit links
• Configure IPv6 static routes using next-hop global unicast addresses
• Set IPv6 default routes (::/0) from branches to the hub
• Validate static-route installation and end-to-end IPv6 reachability from hosts
• Troubleshoot missing return routes, wrong next-hops, and default-route preference

Troubleshooting focus

• Verify every link's interface status and IP addressing (`show ip interface brief`) and correct any interface that is down or misaddressed.
• Confirm each device's running configuration matches the lab objective, and bring any interface, route, or service that is not in its expected state back to health.
• Trace end-to-end reachability with ping/traceroute and isolate the first hop where forwarding fails.
