IPv4 to IPv6 Migration and Transition Mechanisms

This assignment delves into the crucial topic of migrating from existing IPv4 networks to the next-generation IPv6 architecture. It emphasizes understanding different transition mechanisms employed during this shift, highlighting their roles and impact on network functionality. The analysis sheds light on the challenges and strategies associated with implementing a seamless transition to IPv6.

TCP/IP NETWORKING
Executive Summary
The network is designed in cisco packet tracer and two routers are used for designing and
configuring the network. The network is configured with private IP address and two routers are
used for the network and the client end interface of the first router is configured with 192.168.1.0
network and the server interface of the second router is configured with 10.10.1.0 address. The
serial interface of the first router is configured with the 192.168.2.1 address and the serial
interface of the second router is configured with 192.168.2.2 network. Three servers are installed
in the network one is configured with the web service, the second is configured with DNS
service and the third is configured with DHCP service. IP helper command is used for allocation
of the IP address automatically to the PC at the client end.

TCP/IP NETWORKING
Task 1- Setting up a Network
1. Configuration of the Network
1.1 Configuration of the PC

4
TCP/IP NETWORKING
The pc is provided with a static IP address for configuration and communicating with the
other device connected in the network.
1.2. Configuration of the Server

5
TCP/IP NETWORKING
The servers are provided with a static IP address for configuration and communicating
with the other device connected in the network.
1.3. Configuration of the Router Interface
Router 0
Router>enable
Router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#interface gig0/0
Router(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)#
Router(config-if)#exit

6
TCP/IP NETWORKING
Router(config)#interface Serial0/3/0
Router(config-if)#ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.252
Router(config-if)#exit
Router 1
Router>enable
Router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#interface Serial0/3/0
Router(config-if)#ip address 192.168.2.2 255.255.255.252
Router(config-if)#
Router(config-if)#exit
Router(config)#interface gig0/0
Router(config-if)#ip address 10.10.1.1 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)#
Router(config-if)#exit
2. Configuration of Routing on the routers
Router 0 configuration:
Router(config)#ip route 10.10.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.2

TCP/IP NETWORKING
Router(config)#
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state
to down
Router(config)#int gig0/0
Router(config-if)#ip helper-address 10.10.1.4
Router(config-if)#exit
Router 1 configuration:
Router(config)#ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1
Router(config)#
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state
to down
The router is configured with the above commands for sending and receiving the data
packets in the network.

3. Pinging the network
3.1. Ping the client own network interface
The interface of the client is ping and a successful ping reply is received from the router
end.
3.2. Ping the local router gateway interface
The interface of the router is pinged and a successful ping reply is received from the
router end.

9
TCP/IP NETWORKING
3.3. Ping the remote router gateway interface
The interface of the second router interface is pinged and a successful ping reply is
received from the router end for testing the connection of the devices.
3.4. Ping the servers

10
TCP/IP NETWORKING
All the servers such as the Web server, DNS server and the DHCP servers are pinged and
a successful ping reply is received from the server end for testing the connection of the devices.

TCP/IP NETWORKING
4. Trace route the client and the server
The tracert command is used for testing the path of the network used by the router to send
the data packets in the network.

12
TCP/IP NETWORKING
Task 2- Configuring the Network Services
1. DHCP
Two pools are created for both the routers interface used for connecting the client and the
servers. The ip helper command is used for connecting with the DHCP server and allocate IP
address automatically to the client PC connected in the network.

13
TCP/IP NETWORKING
The above screenshots shows that the DHCP request is successful.
2. WEB Server

14
TCP/IP NETWORKING
The HTTP service is activated on the Web server and the URL is used with the student
name to communicate with the client machine. The address of the web server is used for
mapping with the URL.

15
TCP/IP NETWORKING
3. DNS
The DNS server is configured with reverse mapping and the URL of the college is used
for configuration of the DNS server.

16
TCP/IP NETWORKING
The URL is tested from the client end PC to check the accessibility of the web server.
The web server is tested with the IP address mapped with the URL for checking the
accessibility of the web server.

17
TCP/IP NETWORKING
4. Firewall
The firewall is configured with access list and the host with the IP address 192.168.1.5 is
blocked from accessing the Web server.
