CCIEv5 IPv6 Over MPLS (6PE/6VPE)

By CCSI: Yasser Auda

IPv6 Over MPLS

We can implement ipv6 over mpls in two different ways: 6PE or 6VPE
6PE (without vrf or VPNv4 af)
The Cisco implementation of IPv6 provider edge router over MPLS is called 6PE, and it enables IPv6 sites
to communicate with each other over an MPLS IPv4 core network using MPLS label switched paths
(LSPs).
6VPE (with vrf)
This is Cisco implementation of IPv6 provider edge router over MPLS VPN is called 6VPE , and it enables
IPv6 vrf sites to communicate with each other over an MPLS VPN IPv4 core network
In both solutions P routers doesnt need to run IPV6

Fourth lets create connection between CE-1-A & CE-1-B through MPLS
PE1
router bgp 123
add ipv6

nei 22.22.22.22 send-label < to let bgpv4 send label for ipv6
PE2
router bgp 123
add ipv6
network 2001:200:200:200::/64
nei 11.11.11.11 send-label
NOW we configure CE1 CE2 using BGP with PE1 PE2( we can use static route or IGP instead)

6VPE Lab
Same Topology we used in 6PE
Following steps are the same as 6PE:
Frist Lets assigns IPv4/IPv6 address
Second Lets Have IGP between P1,PE1,PE2 , I will use OSPFv2
Third lets create mpls connectivity between PE1 & PE2
Fourth lets create connection between CE-1-A & CE-1-B through MPLS using vrf for ipv6
I will make Both CE in same AS# so we will need later to add as-override
Then we configure CE1 CE2 using BGP with PE1 PE2

CCIEv5 IPv6 Over MPLS (6PE/6VPE)

By CCSI: Yasser Auda

6PE Notes :
Cisco 6PEThe 2 Magic Commands
Essentially, one new command is added to advertise the "IPv6+label" capability and to start 6PE
operations.
In address-family IPv6 configuration mode, specify that "IPv6+label" capability is advertised to a
neighbor:
router(config-router-af)#neighbor <ip-address> send-label
An additional command is added in global configuration mode, to specify the interface to take source
address from, for self-generated packets:
router(config)#mpls ipv6 source-interface <interface>
6VPE Notes:
Notice in PE1 & PE2 we did not used ip vrf command , instead we use vrf definition :
vrf definition cbtme
rd 1:1
add ipv6
route-target both
add ipv4
route-target both
careful here if you have ipv4 vrf with its own route-targets , you will need to add in address-family ipv4
under vrf definition , you can not use ip vrf and vrf definition on the same time.
Also notice under interface we did not used ip vrf forwarding but we used instead vrf forwarding
int s1/1
vrf forwarding cbtme
