In this video, we're going to discuss how you can implement IPV six addresses on hosts.
As an example, you can use stateless address, order configuration or slack to dynamically allocate
IP addresses to hosts.
You could use DHCP to allocate IP addresses to host PCs.
There are a lot of very similar concepts between IP version six and IP version four.
As an example, in IP version six, you have an IP address.
In the same way that you have an IP address.
In IP version four, you have a default gateway or default router.
You have a subnet mask or prefix length, and you have DNS servers.
IP Version six in a similar way to IP version four needs to dynamically learn MAC addresses, but IP
version four uses ARP and broadcasts to discover MAC addresses.
Broadcasts aren't supported in IP version six, so ARP can't be used.
So a different protocol needs to be used to discover the MAC addresses of other devices on Ethernet
IP version six PCs and hosts use a neighbor discovery protocol instead of ARP.
This is used by devices on the same subnet.
In other words, neighbors to discover and exchange information.
One of the big protocols that it replaces is the ARP protocol used in IP version four.
So again, you can allocate IP addresses to IP version six hosts, either by configuring them statically
or using a dynamic allocation process with DHCP or dynamic host configuration protocol.
Or you can use stateless address, order configuration or slack to allocate IP addresses to PCs.
IP version six hosts require an IP address to communicate.
They need to know what their subnet mask is.
They need to know what their default gateway is, and they need to know what their DNS server is so
that they can resolve names to IP addresses.
