Objective: Set IPv$6$ static addresses.

Required Tools and Equipment: Net$-$XX

Description: Before you begin using common tools with IPv$6,$ such as ipconfig and ping, you configure static IPv$6$ addresses to work with.

$1$

Log on to Net$-$XX as NetAdmin, if necessary. Right$-$click Start and click Network Connections.

$2$

Right$-$click Ethernet$0$ and click Status. Look for the row $$Link$-$local IPv$6$ Address.$$ You$$ll see an address beginning with fe$80,$ which is always the first $16$ bits of a link$-$local IPv$6$ address. Click Close.

$3$

Click Properties, and double$-$click Internet Protocol Version $6($TCP$/$IPv$6).$ By default, your IPv$6$ address is set to get an IP address automatically.

$4$

Click Use the following IPv$6$ address. In the IPv$6$ address text box, type $2001$:db$8$::XX $($replacing XX with your student number$).$ In the Subnet prefix length text box, type $64.$ Click OK twice, and then click Close.

$5$

Open a command prompt window. Type netsh interface ipv$6$ show addresses and press Enter. This command shows address information for all IPv$6$ interfaces, including the transitioning interfaces ISATAP and Teredo.
