Configuring IPv6 Routing 1059
Next hop addresses computed by routing protocols are usually link-local.
During a transition period, a global IPv6 Internet backbone may not be
available. One transition mechanism is to tunnel IPv6 packets inside IPv4 to
reach remote IPv6 islands. When a packet is sent over such a link, it is
encapsulated in IPv4 in order to traverse an IPv4 network and has the IPv4
headers removed at the other end of the tunnel.Should I move SDM
template info to one of the chapters in the System section, like the
"Managing System Information and System Time" chapter? Other ideas?
Default IPv6 Routing Values
IPv6 is disabled by default on the switch and on all interfaces.
Table 37-1 shows the default values for the IP routing features this chapter
describes.
