Chapter 21 Configuring IP Version 6

Limitations for IPv6

RPF strict check mode verifies that the source IP address exists in the FIB table and verifies that the
source IP address is reachable through the input port

Security ACLs

For IPv6, ACEs include the following new fields:

Flow Label

Presence of Routing Header

“Undetermined Transport”

QoS

QoS matching is performed only on the following subset of fields, which are common to IPv4 and
IPv6:

dscp/precedence

access group (matches only on ACE entries common to IPv4 and IPv6)

class

qos group

mpls

input if

l2 cos

discard class

The match protocol command now includes the ipv6 keyword to specify this protocol as a matching
criterion. The match ip dscp and match ip precedence commands apply only to IPv4 traffic. The
match dscp and match precedence commands apply to both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.

For marking packets, the set ip dscp and set ip precedence commands have been changed to set
dscp and set precedence. They now apply to both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.

ICMP handling and generation are performed on the route processor and are not handled in PXF

Limitations for IPv6

Not all types of IPv6 Tunneling are supported on the Cisco 10000 routers with this release. Among those
not supported are the following:

Automatic 6to4

ISATAP

Automatic IPv4-compatible

IPv6 over L2TPv3

6over4 (RFC 2529)
