Chapter 2 IPv6 Basic Configuration
�
Multicast addresses (FF02::2) of all the routers within the link-
local range
�
Multicast addresses (FF05::2) of all the routers within the site-
local range
�
Multicast address of the solicited-node (if the solicited-node
group is added to an interface of the router)
�
Multicast address of a multicast group (if any multicast group
is added to an interface of the router)
IPv6 Address Auto Configuration
Technology
The state auto configuration employs the plug-and-play mode to
insert a node into the IPv6 network and starts it up without any
manual interference. IPv6 has two different mechanisms to shore
up the plug-and-play network connection:
�
State auto configuration
�
Boot protocol (BOOTstrap Protocol,
)
�
Dynamic host configuration protocol (
)
Both of the two mechanisms allow IP nodes to obtain config-
uration information from a special BOOTP server or the DHCP
server. These protocols use the state auto configuration, that
is, a server must retain and manage the state information of
each node.
�
Stateless auto configuration
Apart from state auto configuration, IPv6 also employs a kind
of auto configuration service named stateless auto configura-
tion. RFC2462 describes the IPv6 stateless auto configuration.
For the stateless auto configuration, the local link must support
multicast. Network interface must be able to send and receive
multicast packets. In the stateless auto configuration process,
the relevant nodes must meet the following requirements.
�
A node for auto configuration must determine its own link-
local address.
�
Authenticate this link-local address to make sure that it is
unique in the link.
�
The node must determine the information to be configured.
Such information can be the IP address of this node, other
configuration information, or both of them. In case an IP
address is needed, the node must determine whether to ob-
tain it through the stateless auto configuration or through
the state auto configuration.
The procedure is as follows:
i.
In the stateless auto configuration process, the host adds
its network adapter MAC address after the 1111111010
prefix of the link-local address to create a link-local uni-
cast address.
