Question: Setting IPv6 Static Addresses Time Required: 10 minutes Objective: Set IPv6 static addresses. Required Tools and Equipment: Net-XX Description: Before you begin using common tools with IPv6, such as ipconfig and ping, you configure static IPv6 addresses to work with.
1. Log on Net-XX as NetAdmin, if necessary. Right-click Start and click Network Connections.
2. Right-click Ethernet0 and click Status, and then click the Details button. Look for the row "Link-local IPv6 Address." You'll see an address beginning with fe80, which is always the first 16 bits of a link-local IPv6 address. Click Close.
3. Click Properties, and double-click Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6). By default, your IPv6 address is set to get an IP address automatically.
4. Click Use the following IPv6 address. In the IPv6 address text box, type 2001:db8::XX (replacing XX with your student number). In the Subnet prefix length text box, type 64. Click OK twice, and then click Close.
5. Open a command prompt window. Type netsh interface ipv6 show addresses and press Enter. This command shows address information for all IPv6 interfaces, including the transitioning interfaces ISATAP and Teredo.
6. Stay logged on if you're continuing to the next project.
