Static routes may be the exception for most networks, but they make a great learning tool for newbies. The ICND1 100-105 book’s Chapter 32 hits static IPv6 routes (along with connected routes). Come join the fun with some Packet Tracer

IPv6 addresses can be long and confusing when you first learn about them. Configuring the addresses, seeing devices abbreviate them, interpreting those abbreviations, and thinking through addresses in devices that use EUI-64 rules can really help solidify your understanding of

Short and icky sweet: this post lists answers for the icky EUI-64 drill 1 for #ICND2 and #CCNA. The problems require you to find the IPv6 address a host or router would use, given a prefix, MAC address, and assuming

In this lab, you have to configure global unicast addresses, which does not require a lot of thinking. The harder part is the contrived part that lets you review some modified EUI-64 math, making you manipulate hexadecimal values to determine

This latest config lab takes a backwards approach to configuration. In this case, it starts with a bunch of show commands, and asks you to derive some of the key configuration items on several routers. The theme: IPv6 addressing. By
